Pokkoa

Pokkoa is a free web app that turns the classical Chinese I Ching, or Book of Changes, into a conversational experience. Instead of asking you to manually build a hexagram, the site prompts you to describe what is on your mind — for example whether a promotion is likely this year given your current job situation — and then produces a reading with guidance attached. The tone is deliberately reassuring: the homepage copy acknowledges that life is tiring while suggesting the future can improve.

The product sits at an unusual intersection of divination, AI chat and mental well-being. It is positioned less as a fortune-telling novelty and more as a low-stakes tool for reflection and anxiety relief, and the interface explicitly avoids collecting personal data and discourages users from pasting sensitive information into their questions.

Pokkoa runs parallel editions in English, Chinese and Japanese, and links out to sibling experiences such as a temple-style fortune slip page and a Shan Hai Jing-themed store. It is a small independent project rather than a large translation or productivity platform, so expect a focused, single-purpose experience.
