Question 1

What is the difference between the BASIC and PRO plans?

Accepted Answer

The BASIC plan is free forever and gives you access to core features including AI chat (with basic knowledge docs), the Ayurvedic glossary (3,700+ terms), food lists, traditional recipes, and one Prakriti or Vikrutti quiz per day. The PRO plan is a paid monthly subscription that unlocks all 20+ platform modules — including persistent AI memory, guru wisdom chats, meal planning, dinacharya routines, wellness protocols, the community forum, and much more.

Question 2

Do I need a credit card to try PRO features?

Accepted Answer

No. Every new account is automatically enrolled in a 7-day PRO trial with no credit card required. After 7 days, your account is downgraded to BASIC unless you subscribe. You can upgrade at any time through the subscription section of your dashboard.

Question 3

How does the AI chat work, and will it remember our past conversations?

Accepted Answer

The AI chat uses a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system that searches curated Ayurvedic knowledge documents to give you dosha-aware, personalised answers. Responses stream in real time and can be read aloud via Text-to-Speech. Persistent memory — remembering details from past conversations — is a PRO-only feature powered by Mem0. BASIC users start a fresh context with each session.

Question 4

What are the Guru Wisdom Chats?

Accepted Answer

Guru Wisdom Chats let you hold in-depth conversations with AI personas of legendary Ayurvedic masters — such as Dhanvantari, Charaka, and Sushruta — each backed by their own dedicated knowledge collection. This feature is PRO-only. BASIC users can browse guru profiles but cannot start a wisdom chat session.

Question 5

How often can I take the Prakriti (dosha) quiz?

Accepted Answer

On the BASIC plan you can take the Prakriti and Vikrutti quizzes once per day. PRO subscribers can take them as many times as they like and also gain access to quiz history, trend comparisons, and AI-enhanced PDF reports.

Question 6

Can I plan my weekly meals and generate a shopping list?

Accepted Answer

The Weekly Meal Planner, Shopping List builder, and PDF export are PRO features. All users can browse food lists (Favor / Moderate / Avoid across 10 food types) and create custom foods. PRO users can also generate AI Fusion Recipes tailored to their dosha, cuisine preference, and dietary constraints.

Question 7

What are Wellness Protocols and how do I join one?

Accepted Answer

Wellness Protocols are structured 30-, 60-, or 90-day programmes with daily check-ins and progress tracking, targeting goals such as weight management, detox, and stress reduction. They are available to PRO subscribers. Optional professional supervision (a paid add-on) connects you with a verified Ayurvedic practitioner who reviews your check-ins and sends personalised adjustments.

Question 8

Does Vashist support multiple languages?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The platform is fully bilingual in Portuguese and English. Your language is detected automatically from your browser settings and can be changed manually in your user preferences at any time.

Question 9

How does the referral programme work?

Accepted Answer

All users (BASIC and PRO) can share their referral code and earn gamification points and badges for each sign-up. PRO users who successfully refer 10 PRO subscribers unlock a free consultation booking as a reward.

Question 10

Is my personal health data safe and private?

Accepted Answer

Vashist is built with GDPR compliance and SSL encryption as standard. Sessions are managed via secure JWT tokens with refresh token rotation, stored in Redis with configurable expiry. Community posts can be set to public or private, and all personal health logs — remedy history, quiz results, practice diary — are private to your account.
