Question 1

What historical figures can I chat with?

Accepted Answer

HistorIQly offers conversations with 140+ historical figures spanning scientists, philosophers, artists, rulers, and more. Free includes 10 essential figures, Plus includes 90+ figures, and Pro unlocks the complete collection of 140+ figures.

Question 2

What else does a membership include?

Accepted Answer

Plus and Pro cover more than the chat. The History Map is free from 3000 BC to 400 AD; Plus opens the rest of the timeline to today, the Archaeological, Religious, Trade Routes and UNESCO layers and timeline playback, and Pro is the same as Plus there. In the games you get unlimited practice, the full archive and free play instead of only the daily challenge. Every book collection keeps a free shelf of 5 titles and all 144 Chronicles, and Plus adds the whole HistorIQly Mysteries and Jr. library as EPUB downloads. The mobile apps History Map and Historiqly Geo are separate one-time purchases and are not part of a membership.

Question 3

How does the AI create authentic historical conversations?

Accepted Answer

Each figure has a detailed persona crafted from historical research: their writings, speeches, documented beliefs, and personality traits. Our AI uses these personas to generate conversations that capture each figure's essence and historical context. While we aim for authenticity, these are AI interpretations meant for education and exploration, not primary historical sources.

Question 4

What is Podcast mode?

Accepted Answer

Podcast mode turns any two historical figures and a topic of your choice into a complete audio episode — a natural back-and-forth conversation with a distinct voice for each figure and a transcript that highlights in sync as it plays. Pick Cleopatra and Caesar on power, or Newton and Einstein on gravity, and listen like a real podcast. Podcast mode is a Pro feature.

Question 5

What languages does HistorIQly support?

Accepted Answer

HistorIQly is available in 8 languages: English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Indonesian, Chinese, Hindi, and Arabic. The interface is fully translated, and historical figures can chat with you in each of these languages.

Question 6

Can I add my own historical figures?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Pro users can add any real historical person to the catalogue from the Characters page. Enter a name, our AI verifies the figure and generates their bio, period, and conversational persona, then you can chat with them in Normal, Lesson, or Debate mode like any built-in figure. Additions are shared across all Pro users, so the community catalogue grows over time. You can add up to 10 new figures per day.

Question 7

Can I cancel my subscription anytime?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can cancel your subscription at any time from your account settings. Your access continues until the end of your billing period. No cancellation fees or long-term commitments required.

Absolutely — HistorIQly is built for education. Our Classroom, included with Pro, lets teachers create a class, share a single join code, and assign a historical figure for students to interview. Every assignment ends in an auto-graded quiz, and you can read the full transcript of each student's conversation — no grading pile. Students join free — no payment needed.
