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 dosha. Quiz, food guide, meditations, programmes, and Vaidya (the AI companion) — all in one app.
Both, on purpose. The framework is classical Ayurveda — 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 engineers and designers, led by founder Ganesh Kompella. Our learn articles are reviewed by Dr Sheetal Rajput, BAMS, Ayurveda Physician. Vaidya, your in-app guide, is AI, so treat it as guidance, not medical advice.
The quiz
The quiz produces a dosha blend, not a single label — most people are 60/30/10 across two doshas, and the recommendations work from the full ratio, not a tag. About 17 questions plus a short safety check, about 4 minutes. Add your email at the end and your reading opens straight away.
No. You can browse essays, the 298-food guide, and the meditation library 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
Vaidya is your in-app guide: an AI companion with three layers of memory, the 48-hour rule and plain-English articles. Because it is AI, treat it as guidance, not medical advice.
Yes — three layers: session memory (this thread), profile memory (dosha, 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 298-food guide are free to browse. Personalised 90-day programmes, Vaidya chat with memory, and meal plans are part of the membership — there's no permanent free plan, but every membership starts with a 7-day free trial you can cancel any time.
$19.99 a month or $199 a year (about $16.58 a month on the annual plan). Same features either way; annual saves 17%. Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial and renews automatically until you cancel. Your local price is shown in the App Store or Google Play before your trial starts.
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.
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, check with your doctor or midwife before trying any herb, diet change or practice.
No. Your data is used only to personalise your own experience. We never sell, share, or train external models with your conversations.
