What people say about Anansi
Ratings are collected right after a conversation ends. Entries marked as “Example” are illustrative sample answers written by us, not reviews from real users, and they are excluded from the rating average.
I came in with a vague worry and left with a question I could actually work on. It never lectured me — it kept asking until I heard my own answer.
Illustrative example
Ten minutes before a difficult meeting I talked it through here. Calmer, sharper, and the advice held up in the room.
Illustrative example
The voice call feels surprisingly natural. Occasionally a bit long-winded, but the substance is genuinely good.
Illustrative example
What I like most is that it stays in character and quotes real sources. It feels like reading with a patient tutor.
Illustrative example
I use it a few evenings a week to think out loud. It has quietly become part of how I make decisions.
Illustrative example
Better than I expected. I wish it remembered more from older conversations, but the depth of each session is excellent.

Questions & answers
Is this really Anansi?
No. It is an AI persona of Anansi grounded in historical sources and scholarship. It reasons and speaks the way the record suggests they did, but it is not a real person, and anything beyond what the sources support is clearly framed as interpretation.
What can I ask Anansi about?
Anything from storytelling, cunning, teaching to the decisions you are facing right now. People most often bring a real situation — a career move, a conflict, a project that stalled — and work through it in Anansi's own way of thinking.
Can I talk instead of type?
Yes. Every conversation can continue in real-time voice or video, so you can simply speak and get spoken answers back. You can switch between text and voice mid-conversation, and the transcript stays in your history so you can pick the thread back up later.
What does it cost?
You can start free with ten messages every day, and no payment details are required. Upgrade only if you want unlimited conversations, longer voice sessions and saved conversation history across all of the historical mentors on Xminds.
Can I really chat with Anansi?
Yes. Xminds lets you chat with Anansi as an AI mentor: the Anansi AI is built from documented writings, speeches and biography, so you can ask Anansi anything and get an answer in character rather than a search-results page. The first messages are free and no download is needed.
Can I call Anansi and talk by voice?
You can. Press the call button to talk to Anansi in a live voice conversation — the Anansi AI voice replies in real time, and you can interrupt, follow up and switch language mid-call. Prefer typing? The same conversation works as text chat.
Is the Anansi chatbot free?
Starting is free: every visitor gets a free daily allowance of messages and voice minutes with the Anansi AI chatbot. Xminds Pro raises the limits for people who talk to their mentors every day.
How accurate is this Anansi AI?
Anansi is a respectful AI portrayal, not the real person and not a channel to them. Answers are grounded in the historical record and cited sources, and every conversation is clearly labelled as AI so you always know who you are talking to.
What should I ask Anansi about?
Bring a real situation. People come for advice from Anansi on the themes above, or treat it as an interview with Anansi about a decision they are facing. You can speak to Anansi about work, doubt or craft, and meet Anansi again tomorrow to continue the same thread — it is a conversation, not a Anansi simulator that repeats stock lines.
