Reading your HbA1c — what the number means
A 3-month report card for your blood sugar. The ranges, the math, the limits.
Indian meals and portion sizes for diabetes
The plate method, applied to roti, dal, rice, and sabzi. Practical, India-specific.
Hypoglycemia — knowing the warning signs
Low blood sugar can be dangerous in minutes. Symptoms, the 15-15 rule, when to call emergency.

10 diabetes myths, busted
The things your relatives tell you that are not true. Sugar does not directly cause diabetes. Karela does not cure it.
Blood sugar monitoring — when, how, and what to look for
A glucometer is the cheapest, most powerful diabetes tool you own. Used well, it teaches you more than a doctor visit.

Building a diabetes daily routine
Morning, mid-day, and evening rituals that make diabetes manageable without consuming your life.
Sleep, stress, and blood sugar

Introducing Arka Helix 1
Our first named model. Helix 1 is a carefully-tuned wrapper that layers Arka's personality, memory, and safety around a high-quality inference layer.
Projects: a place for your thinking
Group related chats, attach reference material, and keep context together. Every account now starts with a "How to use Arka" project.
Plans that grow with you
A new Claude-style pricing page for Arka. Pro at $7/mo, Max from $21/mo, with Team and Enterprise tiers for the rest.
Built for mobile from day one
Why Arka's chat input is now a vertical card with safe-area-aware sizing — and how a one-line CSS fix solved a stubborn clipping bug.
Adaptive Thinking, now in the chat box
Deep reasoning is one tap away, right inside the model selector. A small move with a big impact on how Arka feels to use.
Get Arka apps — Desktop, Mobile, Chrome
A first look at the four downloads coming soon: a native desktop app, Android and iOS, and a Chrome extension that follows you across the web.
Five styles for five moods
Normal, Learning, Concise, Explanatory, Formal. A walkthrough of Arka's new Use Style submenu and when each one earns its keep.
Web search in Arka, made simple
A toggle in the + menu lets Arka pull live context into its answers. Here's when to use it, and when to leave it off.
From screen to chat in one tap
Arka's new "Take a screenshot" option uses the browser's native capture API. Snap any window, and it lands in the conversation, ready for analysis.
Turning errors into action
Red error bubbles are a dead end. Our new Tips popup tells you what likely went wrong and offers a way forward — without breaking the conversation flow.
Why your browser will always have the latest Arka
The cache invalidation pipeline that ships every Arka build to every user automatically — with no "hard refresh" required.
Deep Reasoning, explained
When to flip the switch — and what's actually happening behind the scenes when you do.
Memory that knows you
Arka's memory categories explained — Identity, Career, Projects, Preferences, Instructions — and how to import yours from ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini.
Usage, now in percentages
Why we replaced "0/5 images" with a long progress bar and a percentage. A small redesign with surprisingly large benefits.
Why Arka is a wrapper — and proud of it
The boring secret to shipping great AI products in 2026: don't build a model. Build the wrapper that makes someone else's model feel like home.
Accessible, Personal, Safe
The three constraints we design within at Vyoma. They are not marketing language — they are the standards we hold ourselves to.
No ads. No trackers. No attention games.
Why Arka will never run third-party analytics or sell your data — and what we do instead.
Built in India, for the world
Why we chose India as our home base — and why a global product can absolutely come from here.
From v0.1 to Helix 1 — an Arka timeline
Five months. Eight releases. A complete rebuild of the chat box. Here's everything that's changed in Arka, in one chronological read.
What is Vyoma Group?
Vyoma is not just a company. It is a belief about what intelligence should be — accessible, personal, and safe for everyone.
