About about.me
Overview
about.me lets you create a one-page personal website that collects your story, links, and work in a single place. Each member gets a free link such as about.me/yourname.
The newer Virtual Twin AI adds a chat layer to your page. Visitors can ask questions, and the Twin answers in your tone, collects contact details, and books meetings.
Key Benefits
- Set up a professional personal page in minutes and share it through a free about.me link.
- Let an AI Twin answer visitor questions about your background, work, and offers at any hour.
- Capture leads into the built-in CRM or a Google spreadsheet for follow-up.
- Let visitors book time with you through Google Calendar integration.
- Add an email signature that links back to your page or custom domain.
- Connect your own domain and remove about.me branding on the Pro plan.
How It Works
Create your page once by setting up your profile. Train your Virtual Twin by teaching it your skills, bio, and goals. The Twin then chats with visitors, captures leads, and schedules meetings on your behalf.
Use Cases
- Freelancers use the page and Spotlight button to attract new clients.
- Fractional CFOs and consultants publish testimonials and a contact button to win engagements.
- Founders and executives share their bio, writing, and LinkedIn links on one page.
- Entrepreneurs connect a custom domain to turn the page into a branded landing page.
- Newsletter writers use the lead capture button to build an email list.
Why Choose This Product
about.me targets freelancers, entrepreneurs, and side hustlers who want a simple, quick-to-launch page with tools in one place. The free plan keeps your link permanently, and you can upgrade when you want AI, lead capture, or a custom domain.
