Behind the scenes

How are your quests generated?

Every morning, a mission shaped for you: this flow walks from your onboarding answers to the quest you see in the app — with a spark of creativity and guardrails that keep you safe.

  1. 01

    Your declared profile

    During onboarding you share how you like to play in real life — explorer vs homebody, cautious vs bold — plus a light personality footprint that steers recommendations without showing clinical jargon in the app.

  2. 02

    Your quest history

    Each completed, accepted, or declined quest leaves a gentle trace. Recent choices feed the engine’s memory — not to judge you, but to understand how you actually move through the world.

  3. 03

    Observed tendencies

    The system infers tendencies from the kinds of quests you’ve lived. It’s a soft read on behavior, not a box you’re locked into.

  4. 04

    Identity ↔ actions gap

    We measure how closely what you say about yourself aligns with what recent quests suggest. That signal tunes tone and intensity — always supportive, never guilt-tripping.

  5. 05

    Your journey phase

    Calibration (near comfort), expansion (small stretch), rupture (bigger challenge): the phase targets the kind of nudge that fits where you are right now.

  6. 06

    Today’s context

    Weather, city, and — if you enable location — whether an outdoor outing makes sense today. When it fits the mission, we may suggest a public place on the map.

  7. 07

    Archetype choice

    From a taxonomy of quest families, the engine picks the best match for your blended profile, phase, weather constraints, and recent quests — so you don’t get the same template on repeat.

  8. 08

    A dash of diversity

    When several archetypes tie, a stable draw (tied to you and the date) prevents always landing on the same storyline. Creative angles for wording follow the same idea.

  9. 09

    AI writing

    A language model drafts title, hook, and mission in a warm narrator voice. Prompts embed safety, clarity, no medical or dangerous instructions, and respect for your chosen language.

  10. 10

    Server-side quality checks

    Automatic rules validate the mission: one actionable sentence, no forbidden content, outdoor place consistency when needed, city mention when GPS is on. If it fails, we retry or fall back to a safe template.

  11. 11

    Your quest for the day, delivered

    One quest is stored per calendar day: reopening the app the same day shows the same mission — no spam regenerations. Tomorrow the journey runs again with fresh context.

What to remember

Nothing is pure randomness: the engine blends your profile, your history, and the day ahead. AI writes the words; Questia enforces safety, clarity, and respect for your pace.

You won’t see clinical labels: copy talks about tendencies and rhythm, not diagnosis. Data is used to personalize the experience, as described in our privacy policy.
