common questions

How do I know which philosopher is right for me?

Start from the feeling, not the philosophy. Choose Marcus Aurelius when something outside your control is running you, Buddha when the noise is coming from inside, Krishna when you’re facing a decision about purpose or duty, Aristotle when you want better judgment and habits, Socrates when you’re unsure what you believe, and Rumi for grief, heartbreak, and love. Or answer a few questions above and we’ll point you to the right one.

Can I switch philosophers later?

Yes. Sage is built for it — you might ask Marcus Aurelius about control, Buddha about attachment, and Socrates about the assumptions underneath both. Different moments call for different teachers.

Is Sage free to try?

Yes. You can start with free text conversations. Paid plans add unlimited text guidance and live voice conversations.
