Support the Oracle
The Bioenergetic Oracle is a one-person passion project. It's free to use, and it'll stay that way — every reader gets the same answers, the same sources, the whole library. Tips simply help cover what it costs to keep the lights on (and as a thank-you, they top up your daily question budget).
Chip in if it's earned it
A one-time tip is lovely; a monthly membership is what really keeps the project sustainable. Either way — thank you.
A little thank-you: a bigger daily budget
The corpus is never paywalled — but supporters get more questions per day, because more coffee means more energy. Ray Peat would approve.
- Everyone50 questions a day — the full Oracle, free, no strings
- Bought us a coffee150 questions a day — ×3, forever — one coffee is all it takes
- Monthly member300 questions a day — ×6 while your membership is active
Boosts are matched by email, so tip with the same address you sign in with (anonymous tips can't be matched — still deeply appreciated). The boost kicks in within a few minutes and shows up on your usage chip.
What your support funds
- $3keeps the servers running for about a day
- $5≈ a week of AI compute for a regular reader
- $15/mocovers always-on hosting, so answers come back instantly
Rough figures, shared honestly. Every dollar goes to servers, the vector database, and the AI compute behind each answer — never ads, never reselling your data.
Free, and staying free
The corpus belongs to the writers and teachers who created it — Ray Peat, Danny Roddy, Georgi Dinkov, and the wider pro-metabolic community. This is a tool for reading and searching their work, not a paywall around it. Everyone gets the same access; donations just keep the project alive.
Pay it forward
Fund questions for readers who've hit their daily cap — $5 ≈ 100 communityquestions, handed out automatically to anyone who runs out. It's the honest version of the “suspended coffee” model: real compute, funded by readers who care.
