If there's one thing artificial intelligence has taught me, it's that having something to turn to for collaboration, perspective and feedback is vital for my growth and development.
This focus correlates with my interest in the mystical realm. So I decided to seek out a tool that would put these two interests together, and came across Tarotoo, an AI-powered platform that offers free, personalized Tarot and psychic readings in an effort to make spiritual guidance more readily accessible.
Created by Yaroslav Kyrychenko, The platform uses AI to generate quick and personalized readings in multiple Tarot spread offerings designed for Tarot enthusiasts. It's also integrated with AI Tarot Reading in the form of psychic advisory. The platform offers a free or premium plan ($60/year) and is available for download in the Apple app store.
Tarotoo's illustrated tarot deck and AI-driven interpretations -- it uses ChatGPT maker OpenAI's API behind the scenes, built out with with custom prompts and logic -- differentiate it from traditional, tangible tarot platforms, and it does offer ease of use since there's nothing tangible to use (or lose).
You just need to be willing to place some of your more personal, philosophically-inclined entries with an AI-powered platform.
Tarotoo has a standard process and is easy to set up:
This process is customizable and can give you immediate insight on whatever you're navigating. If it's written in the stars, it stays in the stars, right?
If you're someone who loves exploring self-reflection through a mix of intuition and tech, Tarotoo is fun and worth spending some time with. It's designed for those who are curious about Tarot but maybe not ready to spend money on a live reader (or leave their home).
Tarotoo's ideal users range from beginners wanting to dip a toe into daily Tarot to more integrated mystic types. Plus, Tarotoo does have an aesthetically-pleasing interface which compliments its focus on guidance that's more spiritual than strategic (though, I could argue that choice was, in fact, a strategic one).
If you're unsure if you're someone who would like Tarotoo, here are some scenarios where you might benefit from a Tarot reading:
This tool is useful for folks who want quick insight in real time -- mid-convo, mid-decision or mid-spiral -- without needing to schedule something days in advance.
The free version offers enough to get you started, like single card pulls and AI insights across its different Tarot offerings for occasional use. The paid plan provides everything in the free model, plus deeper access within the platform through multi-card pulls, unlimited access and the option to download readings for future reflection. It also has an AI-powered "psychic" chatbot
If you're someone who values introspection, loves journaling or wants a bit of spiritual tech in your pocket, Tarotoo can provide enough of the structure of an in-person reading without any awkwardness or potential energetic mixups.
