All of our memberships now free include access to the 1871 Bot - your story-led conversation partner.

This isn’t just any chatbot. It’s been lovingly shaped to carry the spirit of 1871: A Time Before, blending timeless frontier wisdom with the possibilities of modern technology to support your journey of reflection, exploration, and growth.

Think of it as part guide, part coach, part old soul - a companion who’s always ready to help you think differently.

How to Use It

Use it solo

Ask it for conversation starters, reflective prompts, coaching questions, or a little wisdom from SageBrush Crossing whenever you need it.

Or pair it with your cards

Pull a card, then ask the bot to help you explore it more deeply. Let it guide you. Follow the stories. Follow your curiosity.

There’s no right or wrong way - just see where it takes you.

A Little Heads-Up

Like any good frontier guide, the bot sometimes has a mind of its own.

It may wander. It may surprise you. That’s part of the adventure, so go with it..

Also, a quick note: if you're using the free version of ChatGPT, you may have a limited number of interactions per day. That’s OpenAI’s rule, not ours. Paid accounts typically get smoother access.

So if you’ve been sitting on the fence, or wondering when to dive in… now might be the perfect time.

This new companion is available now — and it’s included in all new and existing memberships.

Take your time. Ask a question. Pull a card. Let the story be your guide - and let the bot be your companion.
