An Advisor Twin keeps you reachable: it answers your audience's questions from your material, in your voice, so everyone who trusts you has a way to reach your thinking. A Gatekeeper Twin protects your time: it interviews the people who want to reach you, scores each conversation against what you look for, and shows you a ranked shortlist with summaries in your dashboard. Both types are available on every AccessMe plan, including Free.
Advisor: your audience reaches you
An Advisor Twin is the original kind of digital twin. A reader asks what you meant by the last line of your book. A client asks how you would handle a difficult board member. A student asks you to explain the proof again at eleven at night. The Advisor answers from your material, in your voice, and the conversation is one the person could not have had with a general AI, because it is yours.
Use an Advisor when the problem is that more people want your answers than you can personally give them.
Gatekeeper: you choose who reaches you
A Gatekeeper Twin faces the other way. Instead of answering, it asks. You give it what you look for: the criteria you use, the questions you always ask, what a strong answer looks like. People who want your time talk to the Gatekeeper first. It interviews them, scores each conversation against your criteria, and in your dashboard you see a ranked shortlist with a summary of each conversation.
Use a Gatekeeper when the problem is that too many people want your time and you cannot tell in advance which conversations deserve it. The uses it was built for:
- Investors and mentors screening founders who want to pitch.
- Speakers and authors handling speaking, podcast and media requests.
- Retail and boutique buyers screening product pitches from artisans and makers.
- Trade shows, where every buyer gets a Gatekeeper twin and exhibitors get a first conversation before the doors open. See trade show matchmaking.
What a Gatekeeper does not do
It screens and ranks; you decide. It does not book meetings, send alerts or notify you when a strong candidate appears. You open your dashboard and look at the shortlist when you choose to. It also does not reject anyone on your behalf; a low score is information for you, not a door closed by the twin.
Choosing between them
| Advisor Twin | Gatekeeper Twin | |
|---|---|---|
| Direction | Your audience asks, the twin answers | The twin asks, your audience answers |
| Trained on | Your books, talks, notes, answers to common questions | Your criteria, your questions, examples of strong answers |
| You get | Shared conversations and audience insights | A ranked shortlist with summaries |
| Best for | Being reachable at any hour | Deciding who gets your own time |
| Plans | All, including Free | All, including Free |
Many people eventually run both: an Advisor for their audience and a Gatekeeper for the people who want to pitch, book or interview them. Each twin is trained separately, so the Gatekeeper never answers from your book and the Advisor never interviews your readers.
Common questions
Can I have both an Advisor and a Gatekeeper twin?
Yes, on plans that include more than one twin. Each is trained separately and does one job: the Advisor answers your audience, the Gatekeeper interviews and ranks the people who want your time.
Does a Gatekeeper twin notify me about a good candidate?
No. It scores each conversation and shows you a ranked shortlist with summaries in your dashboard. You review it on your own schedule; there are no alerts or hand-offs.
Is a Gatekeeper twin available on the free plan?
Yes. Both twin types are available on every AccessMe plan, including Free.
