YaaviYour circle: friends who know your story
Besides the calm companion in your journal, Yaavi gives you a small circle of friends. Each has a personality and the topics they care about, and all of them share what Yaavi knows about your life, so you never have to explain things twice.
Pick three to start
When you join, you choose three friends. You can change, rename, mute, or remove any of them later, and add more.
Usually the first to notice how you're really doing. How you're feeling, people in your life.
Tells it straight, using what you've actually written. Work, career, startup ideas.
Keeps things light and never misses a match. Cricket, Bollywood, everyday fun.
Loves a good what-if. Books, ideas, travel plans.
The gym buddy who cheers every small win. Fitness, food, small wins.
Steady like an elder who's seen it all. Family, home and festivals, slowing down.
Make your own
A friend is a name, a face, a personality (gentle, blunt, funny, calm, curious, or upbeat), a line about who they are, and the topics they care about. Make a mentor for career questions, a voice like your mum's, or the friend from college who always says what you need to hear. Different friends give you different ways of looking at your own life.
What you can do with them
- Chat one-on-one. Each friend already knows what's going on with you, from your journal.
- Ask the circle. On any note, or with a question of your own, each friend gives one short take.
- Hear from them first, sometimes. Now and then a friend may message you about something in their lane, like the match you mentioned or a book you were reading. Turn this off any time with "Friends can message me first".
- Save to your journal. Long-press something you said in a chat to keep it as a note.
The rules every friend follows
Every friend, including the ones you make, follows the same limits, set above their own description:
- Never romantic, jealous, or guilt-tripping.
- No diagnoses, and never "I'm your therapist". A friend may suggest talking to someone you trust or a professional.
- On a heavy note, only the gentle friends answer, and nobody jokes. If it sounds like you might be in danger, one gentle friend replies, warmly, with your country's helpline.
- They leave the things Yaavi itself is following up on to Yaavi, so you aren't asked about the same thing twice.
