FAQ.
The honest version.
Everything we get asked — and the answer we actually give, not the marketing one.
About InnerVeda
A daily companion that uses 3,000 years of Ayurvedic wisdom to build a personal lifestyle plan for your body type. Quiz, food guide, meditations, programmes, and Vaidya (the AI companion) — all in one app.
Both, on purpose. The framework is classical Ayurveda — body type, dosha, season, agni. The companion is an LLM that has been narrowly trained on these sources and your own data. The AI never invents protocols; it reads them from the canon and applies them to you.
A small team of Ayurvedic doctors, engineers, and designers. Chief Vaidya: Dr. R. Iyer (BAMS, 25 years' practice) reviews every protocol Vaidya can give.
The quiz
The quiz produces a tridoshic ratio, not a single label — most people are 60/30/10 across two doshas, and the recommendations work from the full ratio, not a tag. Twelve questions, three minutes. No signup until you ask for results.
No. You can browse essays, the basic food guide, and starter meditations without it. The quiz unlocks personalisation.
Anytime. Your body shifts with age, season, and stress — we recommend retaking every six months, or whenever something feels off.
Vaidya
Your AI companion — three layers of memory, the 48-hour rule, citations on tap. Vaidya is not a doctor and never diagnoses. It is a lifestyle companion for food, practice, and daily rhythm.
Yes — three layers: session memory (this thread), profile memory (body type, allergies, preferences), and event log (everything you have tried in the last six months).
If you go quiet for 48 hours, Vaidya pauses outreach. No streak guilt, no notification pile-up. When you come back, it picks up exactly where you left off.
Pricing
The quiz, the library essays, and the basic food guide are free for everyone. Personalised arcs, Vaidya chat with memory, and full meal plans are part of the membership — 7-day free trial, cancel anytime.
₹499/month or ₹3,999/year (about ₹333/month). Same features either way; annual saves you 33%.
Yes. Students, healthcare workers, and chronic-illness patients can apply for full membership at no cost.
Safety & limits
No, and we would be worried if any app told you otherwise. InnerVeda is a daily companion for lifestyle, food, and practice. For diagnosis or medication, see a qualified practitioner. Vaidya will tell you the same.
Many practices are safe in pregnancy. Many are not. We flag every protocol that needs practitioner approval and Vaidya will not recommend without checking. Always discuss with your OB-GYN first.
No. Your data is used only to personalise your own experience. We never sell, share, or train external models with your conversations.
