Frequently Asked Questions
What is nspire.you?
nspire.you searches real reviews across Reddit, Insight Timer, Spotify, Audible, YouTube, and more, then matches you to the resource that worked for people who went through exactly what you're going through. Every recommendation is ranked by real results, not popularity, clicks, or paid placement.
What modalities does nspire.you cover?
Meditation, Breathing, Yoga, Movement, Nutrition, Music & Sound, Therapy Techniques (including CBT and DBT tools), and Books & Courses. Each modality covers multiple specific approaches — for example, Breathing includes box breathing, physiological sigh, 4-7-8, alternate nostril, and coherent resonance breathing.
Does it cover physical wellbeing too, not just mental health?
Yes. Our library covers mental wellbeing challenges (anxiety, sleep, grief, stress, existential concerns) and physical wellbeing (chronic pain, tension headaches, body practices, nutrition). Many resources serve both — yoga, for example, often addresses anxiety and physical tension simultaneously.
Who is nspire.you for?
Anyone who wants a real, specific answer to 'what might actually help right now' — whether that's a meditation newcomer, someone who's tried everything for sleep, or someone dealing with a specific physical issue. You don't need any prior practice or knowledge.
How does matching work?
You describe how you're feeling in your own words. Our AI identifies the closest-matching problem type from our taxonomy, then ranks resources by evidence count, resolution rate, and confidence tier — all computed from first-party feedback logged by people who tried each resource for exactly that problem. No sponsorship, no popularity ranking.
How are match percentages calculated?
Match percentages reflect the resolution rate for a given resource against a specific problem cluster — what proportion of people who tried this resource for a specific problem reported meaningful relief. A 92% match means 92% of people who tried that combination found it helped, not that we're 92% confident in some abstract sense.
What happens when I describe my situation?
The finder asks 2–5 adaptive follow-up questions — each one generated specifically from what you wrote, not from a fixed script. If your first input already makes your situation clear, you'll get results after just one exchange. If more detail helps sharpen the match, we ask — once. We don't make you fill out a form.
Does nspire.you learn from my history?
Yes, over time. When you rate resources you try, your history shapes what gets recommended next — resources you rated negatively are excluded, and if one modality consistently hasn't worked for you, the system tilts toward others that have worked for people with similar histories. This works on your first device without an account; signing up makes it cross-device.
Where does the data come from?
Our resource library is curated from public platforms — YouTube, Insight Timer, Spotify, PubMed, and others. Match scores come from first-party feedback from nspire.you users who tried each resource and reported whether it helped. We never fabricate scores or use paid placements.
What happens to my data?
You control your data entirely. Everything you log is available for export and deletion on your Profile page. Feedback used for scoring is aggregated across users — individual sessions are never shared or exposed. Raw search text is retained for 90 days then deleted; anonymized aggregate signals are kept.
Is my search data private?
Yes. Raw search inputs (what you type into the finder) are stored only for internal trend analysis and are deleted after 90 days. They're never quoted in any public-facing context and never used to identify you individually. Community stories are fully anonymized — no names, timestamps precise to the user, or any identifying detail.
Is it free?
Your first finder session is completely free — no account required. Signing up (free) gives you 5 sessions per rolling 30 days, plus cross-device history. A subscriber plan ($4.99/month or $39/year) provides priority access within our daily capacity.
What does 'daily capacity' mean?
nspire.you runs on a real, fixed monthly API budget. On most days there's plenty of capacity for everyone. On unusually busy days, the system may briefly pause for lower-priority requests — guests first, then registered free accounts, with subscribers deprioritised last. This is stated plainly before you spend any money.
Is this medical advice?
No. nspire.you surfaces self-guided wellbeing resources — things people have found genuinely helpful. It's not a substitute for professional medical or mental health care. If you're in crisis, please contact a helpline or medical professional immediately.
