Frequently Asked Questions

Vedika is a first-party indic-native astrology LLM — not a wrapper over generic chat models. It's purpose-built on the classical Vedic corpus (BPHS, Phaladeepika, Saravali) and combined with XALEN Ephemeris for sub-arcsecond astronomical precision. 1,128 calculation endpoints plus two AI delivery paths: Normal path (full deep analysis, all plans) and Fast path (same depth, faster delivery, Business $120+). Data residency: Vedika runs on multi-region cloud infrastructure and routes each request automatically. Customers agree any data-residency needs at signup, as part of enterprise terms. Query text for AI answers and safety checks may be processed across regions. Regional processing requirements must be reviewed and agreed in a signed order form — contact us before you build.

Yes! Vedika offers a FREE Sandbox environment at api.vedika.io/sandbox/* with realistic mock data. Build your entire integration without spending a dime - no signup required. When ready for production with real astronomical data, plans start at just $12/month with wallet credits for any endpoint.

Vedika AI has an 91–99% accuracy match rate with professional astrologers, compared to ~51% for general-purpose AI chatbots. We use XALEN Ephemeris for astronomical calculations (NASA-grade precision) combined with AI trained on over 10,000 real astrology consultations.

Vedika supports 30 languages including English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Punjabi, Odia, Assamese, Sanskrit, Nepali, Urdu, and more. You can request responses in any of these languages via API parameters.

Unlike general-purpose AI chatbots which use generic knowledge without precise calculations, Vedika performs actual astronomical calculations using XALEN Ephemeris to determine exact planetary positions, then applies AI trained specifically on Vedic astrology principles. General AI chatbots cannot calculate planetary positions accurately, while Vedika provides astronomical-grade precision combined with astrological expertise.

Depends on which path you use. About 50 ms median server time, calculation endpoints (Oct 2026). AI answers take longer. AI queries come in two speeds: Normal path delivers a full deep analysis (available on all plans from $12). Fast path delivers the SAME depth faster (Business $120 + Enterprise $240 only). Uptime and support terms for enterprise plans are agreed in a signed order form; live status at /status.

Fast path is Vedika's faster AI delivery tier. It runs the same complete Vedic analysis as the normal path — same chart calculations, same dashas, same yogas, same remedies, same depth — but streams the answer faster. There is no quality trade-off. Fast path handles large multi-paragraph outputs at speed, ideal for consumer-facing chat UX, voice AI, and live support. Available on Business ($120/mo) and Enterprise ($240/mo) plans at $0.02-$0.05 per query.

Yes, on Business ($120/mo) and Enterprise ($240/mo) plans. Endpoints: POST /api/v1/voice (blocking) and POST /api/v1/voice/stream (SSE streaming).

All tiers run on top of the same deep Vedic analysis. Billed on your wallet.
