Frequently Asked Questions

A Life Area is one of 42 domains of real life that AskHypatia organizes content around — like Career, Finance, Health, or Parenting. All courses, prompts, concepts, and tools belong to a Life Area.

It depends on your plan: Seeker can enroll in 1, Student in up to 5, and Fellow gets access to all 42.

Yes — Student and Fellow subscribers can update their enrolled areas at any time from their account settings. Hypatia can also change your areas for you if you ask in a session.

Many real-life challenges cross areas — a career change affects Finance and Mental Health too. Enroll in all the areas relevant to your situation. Fellow tier gives you all 42.

A structured lesson (typically 20-40 minutes) that teaches a specific skill with Hypatia guiding you through it.

A curated sequence of courses built around one goal — like getting a job, building a budget, or fixing your sleep.

A ready-made prompt template you can copy and run instantly, either with Hypatia or with any other AI tool.

A reference definition for a term or idea that appears across courses and sessions. Think of it as AskHypatia's glossary.

An interactive step-by-step framework you work through with Hypatia — more guided than a prompt, more practical than a lesson.

By Life Area — each area has its own thread. When you enroll in an area, you join that area's community automatically.

Yes — when a post raises something worth naming, Hypatia contributes to the thread. She's in the replies, not just the lessons.

You're automatically added when you enroll in a Life Area. Go to the Community tab to see your thread and start participating.

Community access requires at least a Student tier subscription. Seeker members can view threads but not post.

A live conversation with Hypatia where you work on a real problem. Sessions are the core of how AskHypatia works — more practical than a lesson, more structured than a chat.

The concrete step Hypatia gives you at the end of every session — one specific thing to do this week, not a vague suggestion.

Seeker tier gets 5 sessions per month. Student and Fellow tiers get unlimited sessions.

Yes — your session history is saved. Hypatia can pick up where you left off, especially on Fellow tier where she retains context across sessions.

On Fellow tier, yes — she retains meaningful context across sessions. On Seeker and Student, memory resets between sessions unless you provide context.

If you're on Seeker or Student tier, memory doesn't persist between sessions. Upgrade to Fellow for compounding session memory.

Tell her in the session — your situation, your constraints, your history. The more specific you are, the better she responds. You can also update your profile with background context.

Your goals, key things you've shared, progress you've reported, patterns she's noticed, and insights you've saved. She builds a picture of you over time.

Hover over any message in your Hypatia session and click the Save button, or just say 'Save this' and Hypatia will do it for you.

Go to /insights in your dashboard. They're organized by date and life area.

Yes — from the /insights page you can delete any saved insight at any time.

No limit — save as many as you want across any session.

A structured goal-completion experience on Coach tier — a real accountability relationship with Hypatia built around one specific goal, with weekly 1:1 sessions and behavioral gates.

It depends on the goal. The track ends when the behavioral change is verified — not on a fixed schedule. Some goals take 6 weeks, others 6 months.

A documented record of your completed transformation — the goal, timeline, milestones reached, and Hypatia's verification that the behavioral change occurred.

Upgrade to Coach tier, then tell Hypatia what goal you want to work toward. She'll help you name it precisely and build the plan.

The free tier — 1 life area, 5 sessions per month, 5 courses per month. No credit card required, no time limit.

$12/month. 5 life areas of your choice, unlimited sessions, 25 courses per month, access to every prompt and tool.

Fellow ($24/mo) gives you all 42 life areas, unlimited courses, and cross-session memory — Hypatia remembers you between sessions and builds on past conversations.

$48/month. Everything in Fellow plus a weekly 20-minute 1:1 session with Hypatia, real accountability follow-up, and a Periagogos certificate for each goal you complete.

$96/month. Coach-level access designed for teams or communities — shared goals, group outcomes tracking, Hypatia working with the whole group at once.

Go to Account Settings → Life Areas, or ask Hypatia in any session — she can update your areas for you.

Seeker: 1 area. Student: up to 5. Fellow: all 42.

Your progress in your previous area is saved — courses you've completed, insights you've saved, sessions you've had. Switching doesn't delete anything.

Yes — on Student tier you can swap areas freely. All your previous progress is still there when you return.
