Question 1

What is a Life Area?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

How many Life Areas can I enroll in?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 3

What is a course?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 4

What is a learning path?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 5

What is a session?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 6

What is a Monday Action?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 7

Does Hypatia remember me between sessions?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 8

Why doesn't Hypatia remember my last session?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 9

How do I save an insight?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 10

Where can I find my saved insights?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 11

How do I change my life area?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 12

How many areas can I have?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 13

What is Seeker?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 14

What does Student include?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 15

How is the community organized?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 16

Does Hypatia post in the community?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 17

What is a Metanoia Track?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 18

How long does a track take?

Accepted Answer

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.
