If you scroll down on the home screen, you will see a small card with the words Ask MigraineMe at the top, and Chat with your health data underneath. This is the chat assistant. You can ask it questions about your own migraines, your sleep, your triggers, anything in the app, and it will answer in plain words based on what it knows about you.
You can think of it as a friendly helper that has read your recent data and is happy to chat about it. It is part of the premium plan.
These steps are the same on iPhone and Android.
A premium feature
Ask MigraineMe is a premium feature. If you are on the free trial, you can use it freely. After the trial ends, if you are not subscribed, the card on the home screen will instead say Unlock AI Chat, with Ask questions about your health data underneath. Tapping that takes you to the subscription page.
How to open it
- Open MigraineMe.
- The home screen is the one with the big circle.
- Scroll down with your finger until you see the Ask MigraineMe card.
- Tap anywhere on the card.
- A new screen opens. This is the chat.
If you do not see this card, try scrolling a little further down. On iPhone, pull down on the home screen to refresh. On Android, close the app fully and open it again.
How to ask a question
When the chat opens, you will see a short welcome and a few suggestion buttons to get you started, for example "Why have I been feeling off lately?", "How's my sleep been this week?" or "Any patterns before my last migraine?"
- To use a suggestion, tap one of the suggestion buttons.
- To ask your own question, tap the text box at the bottom of the screen.
- Type your question in plain words, exactly as you would ask a friend.
- Tap the send button on the right of the text box.
- The assistant will think for a moment, then reply with a short answer based on your data.
You can keep going. Ask a follow-up question, or ask something completely different. The conversation flows like a normal chat.
Good questions to try
You do not need any special words. Anything you would naturally ask works. For example:
- "What triggered my last migraine?"
- "Has my sleep been getting better or worse?"
- "Is my rescue medication actually working?"
- "Where does my aura usually show up?"
- "Is the weather affecting me this week?"
What it can and cannot do
The assistant is very good at looking at your data and summarising it. It is not a doctor.
- It can describe patterns it sees in your sleep, stress, weather, food, and migraines. It works from your most recent days of data.
- It can point out triggers that have been more active than usual.
- It cannot diagnose anything, prescribe medicine, or replace a conversation with your doctor.
- It cannot see things you have not tracked or connected.
The chat is for information and comfort, not for medical advice.
Daily message limit
To keep things fair for everyone, you can send up to 30 messages a day. The remaining count is shown in the chat screen so you always know where you are.
- The limit resets at midnight UTC (midnight UK time in winter, 1am in summer).
- If you reach the limit, you can still read the conversation, but you will need to wait until tomorrow to send another message.
If something goes wrong
- If the assistant does not reply, check that your phone has internet (Wi-Fi or mobile data). The chat needs a connection.
- If you see an error message, close the chat and open it again from the home screen.
- If your conversation seems to have disappeared, that is normal. The chat starts fresh each time you open it. Your data is not lost, only the chat itself.
If you do not see this, try closing the app fully and opening it again. If the chat still will not open, write to us at help@migraineme.app.
