I'm sharing FateTell, a native iOS app that modernizes Chinese I Ching and BaZi using AI and simulation.
Why we built this: Chinese metaphysics is fascinating but notoriously hard to learn. We built this to let anyone—even without cultural background—use these ancient tools for introspection and clarity, instantly.
Key Features:
"Lunar Cusps" (Decision Making): Think of this as a "spiritual coin toss" for indecision. Ask a question, shake your phone, and the physics engine simulates the toss of the traditional wooden blocks. The answer depends on your actual hand movement and gravity, not a random number generator.
Context-Aware AI: We fine-tuned an LLM to interpret your throw. It combines the I Ching result with your specific BaZi (birth chart) to give advice tailored to your life, not generic fortune cookie text.
BaZi Analysis: A detailed "User Manual" for your personality based on the traditional Four Pillars system.
Daily Energy: A simple guide on what to "Do" and "Avoid" today, based on the traditional calendar.
We are just getting started and will continue to improve the experience. Any suggestions or feature requests are very welcome!
