AskYao

AskYao is a web app for I Ching divination using the Liu Yao coin method. Users ask one question, toss virtual coins six times, and receive an AI interpretation with follow-up questions and an outcome log.

AskYao is a web-based divination tool built around the Liu Yao method of I Ching consultation. Instead of asking users to handle physical coins and look up tables, it simulates the traditional routine: a person writes down one question, tosses three virtual coins six times, and watches a hexagram form line by line. An AI model then interprets the result against the question that was asked. The target audience is anyone curious about Chinese divination, from complete newcomers to people who already consult the I Ching. A dedicated learning page explains the basics for first-timers, which lowers the barrier for those who have never cast a hexagram. The site advises writing a concrete question, since a specific one tends to produce a more useful reading than a vague one. In practice, a session takes about three minutes. The sample reading on the homepage shows the output format: a question about wealth luck this year, a primary hexagram (Great Taming) that changes into a second one (The Wanderer), an overall verdict labelled Mixed, and a written interpretation that separates a stable income source from a signal of dispersal. A full demo result page is available to preview the layout. After a reading, users can ask follow-up questions and later log how events actually turned out, which turns one-off casts into a personal record that can be compared with outcomes. A daily oracle feature lets signed-in visitors draw a hexagram each day, and drawing seven days in a row earns a free reading. The homepage reports 2,370 readings cast and says 82% were rated accurate by users, though those figures are the site's own and not independently verified. Among alternatives, AskYao sits between generic horoscope apps and static I Ching reference sites. Its distinguishing points are the Liu Yao coin method, question-specific AI interpretation, and conversational follow-ups. It is best treated as entertainment and reflective guidance rather than a predictive instrument.
