09Xiao K · AI chat
9.1Who Xiao K is
Three roles: answering, guiding, companionship.
| Role | What it does | When to come to it |
|---|---|---|
| Answering | Explains passages in your book you don't follow | "Chapter 4 says my wealth star isn't exposed — what does that mean?" |
| Guiding | Explains concepts, reads your chart with you, untangles a situation | "Why have I felt drained all year?" |
| Companionship | Listens, doesn't judge, helps you set the feeling down | "I'm barely holding on lately" |
It won't decide anything for you, but it will sit with you until things are clearer.
Want to talk to a specific person? That's Same-Day Figures — a different door, a different experience. See 9.4.
9.2What you can ask
| Type | Example | Role |
|---|---|---|
| Concepts | "What does 'weak self favours the seal' mean?" | Guiding |
| Your own chart | "My day master is Jia wood — what does that imply?" | Guiding |
| Life confusion | "Work is exhausting lately; how do I adjust?" | Guiding |
| Emotional | "I'm sad today and I don't want to explain why" | Companionship |
9.3Quota
| User type | Messages | Characters |
|---|---|---|
| Free users | 30 per month | 20,000 per month |
| Members | 300 per month | 100,000 per month |
| Overage | 2 credits per reply | — |
9.4How the conversation works (three things to know)
① One window per user
Between you and Xiao K there is one window, from beginning to end. You don't start a new session each time, and there's no list of past sessions to choose from.
② No memory across sessions
Xiao K remembers only what was said in the current conversation. Exit, close the app, come back tomorrow — it's a new beginning. Nothing carries over.
This is good for privacy: what you said doesn't settle into a file about you.
It also means: if you want to continue, best to finish in one conversation.
③ Talking to a figure is a conversation across time
Same-Day Figures is a conversation across time: you at this end, them in their year.
These are two entirely different things:
| Xiao K | Same-Day Figures | |
|---|---|---|
| Role | Guiding and companionship | A conversation with a specific person |
| Voice | Neutral, clear, restrained | Carries that person's language, temperament and life experience |
| Typical scene | "Help me sort this out" | "Talk to Su Shi about his exile in Huangzhou" |
| Relationship | Assistant | Interlocutor |
| Time | Now | Across centuries |
In those conversations the figure speaks in their own voice — Su Shi with Su Shi's openness, Li Bai with Li Bai's wildness. They will not answer you in customer-service tone.
One helps you think a matter through; the other lets you speak with someone across a thousand years. Content and quota are independent.
9.5Voice
Voice input and replies are available on some devices and regions. Where unsupported, the entry point is hidden automatically.
9.6How to ask well
Give context: "I'm 30, a designer, thinking about switching fields" beats "should I switch"
One question at a time: three questions at once produces shallow answers
Follow up rather than switch topics: one deep thread beats ten shallow ones
