    Hi HN,

    I recently built an experimental app that combines AI with the symbolic system of the I Ching (Book of Changes).

    The idea is not to predict the future, but to create a reflection tool. Users can ask a question, the system generates a hexagram, and the AI produces an interpretation that explores possible perspectives on the situation.

    The I Ching has been used for thousands of years as a framework for understanding change and decision-making. I was curious whether modern language models could help translate its symbolic meanings into something more accessible for everyday reflection.

    The app currently includes: - hexagram generation - oracle-style interpretations - deeper analysis through a "Full Insight" mode - a small knowledge library about the I Ching

    I’d love feedback on a few things:

    - Does the interpretation feel meaningful or too abstract? - Is the interface intuitive for someone unfamiliar with the I Ching? - Are there features that would make this more useful as a reflection tool?

    You can try it here: https://oracle-answer-engine.lovable.app/auth

    Thanks for taking a look.
