## What is AskFirst?

Walk into your next appointment prepared, confident, and impossible to dismiss.

AskFirst: Appointment Prep builds you a personalized prep kit before any appointment: doctor visits, mechanic trips, legal consultations, school meetings, financial advisor sessions, home service calls, and more.

Describe your situation and get a custom game plan in seconds.

WHAT'S IN YOUR PREP KIT
Prioritized questions to ask, with a short explanation of why each one matters. Documents and items to bring, specific to your situation, not a generic checklist. Red flags to watch for, warning signs that something isn't right. Exact phrases to say if you feel dismissed, real words you can use, not vague advice. Follow-up actions for after the appointment, so nothing falls through the cracks.

ASK FOLLOW-UP QUESTIONS
Got a question your prep kit didn't cover? Ask up to 3 follow-up questions per prep and get specific, actionable answers based on your situation.

BROWSE THE APPOINTMENT LIBRARY
Explore tips, questions, red flags, and checklists for 30+ appointment types across 9 categories. Fully translated in all 14 supported languages.

EVERY PREP KIT IS TAILORED TO YOU
"Cardiologist follow-up after abnormal EKG" produces a completely different kit than "annual physical." AskFirst doesn't give generic advice. It gives you a game plan built around your specific situation.

PREPARING FOR A LOVED ONE?
Toggle "preparing for someone else" and everything adjusts: questions, documents, and advocacy phrases, for someone helping a parent, spouse, or child at their appointment.

SHARE YOUR PREP KIT
Send your full prep kit as a shareable link to a family member or friend before the appointment so you both walk in on the same page. Shared links display in the language they were created in.

COPY INDIVIDUAL QUESTIONS
Tap any question to copy it to your clipboard. Perfect for pasting into your notes app before you walk in.

MAKE IT YOURS
Choose from seven accent colors: Emerald, Blue, Indigo, Teal, Rose, Coral, and Lavender. The app adapts to light or dark mode automatically.

ONE PURCHASE. EVERYTHING UNLOCKED.
Try your first prep kit free. Unlock unlimited preps, follow-up questions, and the full appointment library for $9.99, one time, forever. No subscriptions, no hidden fees.

9 APPOINTMENT CATEGORIES
Medical, Auto/Mechanic, Legal, School, Financial, Home Services, Real Estate, Civic, and Other.

YOUR PRIVACY MATTERS
Your appointment details are processed by Anthropic's Claude API to generate your prep kit. AskFirst does not store your personal health, legal, or financial information after your kit is generated.

14 LANGUAGES SUPPORTED
Prepare in the language you're most comfortable in. AskFirst supports English, Español, Français, 中文, Português, 한국어, العربية, Kreyòl Ayisyen, 日本語, Deutsch, Italiano, Nederlands, Türkçe, and Svenska, so nothing gets lost in translation.

AskFirst is your advocate in your pocket. A preparation tool, not a substitute for professional medical, legal, financial, or other professional advice.

### 5/5 — Loving this app

*2026-05-09*

Brilliant idea to create this app. It is really stress relieving being educated before doctor’s visit. It increases confident and helps with a more accurate diagnosis. Better outcome for a doctor’s visit.

### 5/5 — really great

*2026-04-09*

this is really great for medical like doctors appointments or dentist appointments or even stuff like asking for a raise at a job

### 5/5 — Good App

*2026-04-09*

This app is really interesting.

### 5/5 — Great for planners and those that want to be ready for new situations

*2026-04-02*

This app was a helpful resource for organizing my thoughts and preparing for a family member's medical appointment. It made the process of getting our questions ready much easier and more efficient. It can be used in different areas just at the mechanic, legal situations or preparing for casual meeting.

### 5/5 — Great application!

*2026-03-31*

This app definitely helped me stay organized as I prepare for appointments. It also helps me make sure I am asking the right questions.

### 5/5 — Arthur Bishop

*2026-03-31*

Very Helpful! I used ReadRoom before a last minute appointment for some morning foot pain, and it set me up with a much better idea of how to help the staff ID what might be the cause.

### 5/5 — Great details with each appointment!

*2026-03-31*

I’ve used a couple similar apps in the past. What separates this one is the following: 

1) significantly more affordable without lacking perks
2) each task you enter lets you know what you should make sure you have for the appointment. Special paperwork if necessary, passport and make sure it’s not expired, etc
3) great for medical visits and planning trips

Overall excited to use it with my day to day appointment setting! EASY TO USE

### 5/5 — Super helpful

*2026-03-31*

Tried this out before applying for a bank loan, gave me questions I never would have thought of! Love the "red flags." Genius!

### 5/5 — Great idea

*2026-03-30*

Very useful. I used it for a medical appointment and it gave me questions to ask.
