Short answer

How can I use my AI to do tarot readings?

Your AI uses TarotAPI to pull random card combinations or specific layouts. It then analyzes the cards to provide context for your questions. You get a full breakdown of the spread and its meaning.

The outcomes

What your reading produces

The AI handles the cards, leaving you to focus on the insight.

RANDOM

Instant card pulls

The AI uses the connector to grab a set of cards. You get a fresh layout every time you ask.

CONTEXT

Meaningful interpretations

Your agent looks at the specific cards pulled and explains how they relate to your question.

CREATIVE

Custom spread designs

You can define your own layouts, like a three-card past-present-future spread, and the AI follows your lead.

HUMAN

Personal reflection

The AI provides the data and the logic, but you decide how the reading applies to your life.

The workflow

What your AI does when a reading is requested.

The AI acts as the bridge between your question and the tarot deck.

  1. Select a layout

    You tell your agent what kind of spread you want, such as a single card or a complex multi-card layout.

    get_multiple_random_cards

  2. Pull the cards

    The AI calls the connector to fetch the specific cards needed for your chosen spread.

    get_multiple_random_cards

  3. Analyze individual cards

    If you need deeper detail on a specific card from the pull, the AI can look up its individual meaning.

    get_card

  4. Synthesize the reading

    The agent combines the card data with your original question to give you a cohesive interpretation.

    get_card

FAQ

How the tarot readings work

  • 01

    Can the AI pick specific cards for me?

    No. The AI uses the connector to pull random cards to ensure the reading remains unbiased.

  • 02

    Can the AI change the meaning of a card?

    No. The AI provides interpretations based on the card data it receives from the connector.

  • 03

    Do I have to use standard spreads?

    No. You can ask your agent to create any custom layout you want.

  • 04

    Can the AI perform a reading without the connector?

    No. The agent relies on the TarotAPI tools to get the actual card data.

    Will the AI remember my previous readings?
