Kestra is an AI-guided companion for daily self-reflection. Check in with your mood, answer short guided questions, and continue thoughtful conversations about what matters to you. DAILY CHECK-INS Record how you feel and choose what is on your mind. Kestra offers short questions that help you pause, organize your thoughts, and reflect on your day. A JOURNEY THAT BUILDS OVER TIME Your check-ins and conversations are organized into a personal Journey. Revisit previous entries, notice recurring themes, and observe how your feelings and perspectives change over time. AI-GUIDED CONVERSATIONS Continue the conversation about relationships, work, personal goals, or everyday choices. Kestra uses the context you choose to provide — including your recent check-ins, previous conversations, and reflection history — to offer relevant questions and personalized perspectives. PERSONALIZED RECOMMENDATIONS After a check-in, Kestra may suggest a reflection or feature based on the topics you selected and the answers you provided. You decide whether to explore the recommendation or save your check-in and continue your Journey. OPTIONAL CREATIVE FRAMEWORKS Kestra also includes palm- and astrology-inspired reflection features. If you choose to open one of these features, Kestra requests the specific information needed at that point, such as a palm image or birth details. This information is not required to complete daily check-ins, use your personal Journey, or continue AI-guided conversations. These creative frameworks are interpretive and non-scientific. They are presented as prompts for self-reflection, not as factual predictions, certainty, or guaranteed outcomes. IMPORTANT INFORMATION Kestra’s content is AI-generated and intended for entertainment and personal self-reflection only. It is not a substitute for medical, mental-health, legal, financial, or other professional advice.
