Sharing your twin
A twin is only useful where your audience already is.
Your page
hiy.ai/your-name is the main way to share. It works as a link-in-bio, in an email signature, in a talk's closing slide, or anywhere you'd normally send people to a contact form.
Deep links
Link to a specific question and the visitor lands directly on that answer:
https://hiy.ai/your-name?q=How%20do%20you%20price%20projects%3F
Useful when answering a comment publicly, or in a FAQ where each item can point at a real, cited answer.
Publish → Share a question turns each of your suggested questions into one-click LinkedIn, X, email and copy actions — whether you wrote them or hiy drafted them from your sources. When the link is one of your own suggested questions, it unfurls into a card that shows the question itself — so a pasted link reads like an invitation, not a URL.
Visitors can share too: every answer has a quiet Share action that copies the question's deep link.
The launch kit
The moment you publish, hiy hands you what you need to tell people: your link, a QR code you can drop on a slide or a card, and three ready-to-post announcements you can send as-is or edit. Pick whichever sounds like you — one is straightforward, one leads with a question your twin gets asked, one is candid about it being an AI.
You can reopen it any time from Publish → Launch kit.
If publishing queued an identity check, the kit deliberately gives you the link to keep and nothing to share yet. A link that 404s is a worse first impression than a short wait, and the Publish page shows the moment the check clears.
Referrals
"Create your own" on your public page credits you: anyone who signs up from it is recorded as your referral, and referral perks are honored when paid plans launch.
The "Powered by hiy.ai" line refers too — while you're carrying it, anyone who follows it and signs up is recorded as yours. See The hiy.ai credit for when it comes off and what it's worth keeping.
Milestones
Once your twin has genuinely earned one — a hundred questions answered, a first lead — Publish offers a ready-to-share line with your link. Real numbers only; nothing is invented.
Publishing and unpublishing
Nothing is public until you publish, and unpublishing is immediate — the page stops answering and your knowledge stays intact.
What visitors see
Your profile card, an "Ask me about" set of your suggested questions, and the chat. Every twin page carries clear AI disclosure, a report link and — once your identity check clears — the Verified badge. No plan removes any of them; see The hiy.ai credit. The badge is tied to the name that was checked, so renaming your twin away from it takes the badge off until you rename back — see the three kinds of twin.
Listed or unlisted
In Publish you choose whether your twin can be found, which is separate from whether it can be reached — your link works either way.
Listed is the default: search engines may index it and it can appear on hiy.
Unlisted keeps the link working while keeping the twin out of search, out of our sitemap, and off any listing. Useful while you're still filling it in, or for a twin meant only for people you send it to.
Unlisted is not private. Anyone holding your link can still read it — if something must not be seen, don't put it in your twin.
What a shared link looks like
Paste your link into Slack, WhatsApp, LinkedIn or a tweet and it unfurls into a card with your name, your one-line role, and what your twin actually promises — that it answers from your own material and says so when it doesn't know.
You don't set this up and there's nothing to upload. It's generated from your profile, so keeping your name and role line current is all it takes.
A twin that isn't live and public shows a plain "An AI twin" card instead, with no name on it. An unlisted or unpublished twin should not be identifiable to someone who guessed the address, and a preview card is as public as the page.
