Advisor or Gatekeeper: which twin should I create?

Two kinds of twin, both on every plan. One scales your attention outward; the other protects it.

Advisor twin

An Advisor answers your audience from your point of view, drawn from your own work. It is the right choice when people come to you for guidance: readers who want to keep talking about your book, students with questions at 11 p.m., members of a congregation, clients between coaching sessions.

Gatekeeper twin

A Gatekeeper interviews the people who want your time instead of advising them. It asks the questions you would ask, scores each conversation, and shows you a ranked shortlist with a summary of each conversation in your dashboard, so the most focused, highest-value conversations rise to the top. Typical uses:

  • Investors and mentors screening founder pitches
  • Speaking, podcast and media requests
  • Retail or boutique buyers screening product pitches from artisans and makers

The shortlist waits for you in your dashboard; check it when you want to. A conversation with a Gatekeeper is not a promise of a meeting or a reply, and the twin page says so.

Can I have both?

Yes. Each twin is one kind. On Duo and up you can run more than one twin under one organization, so an author might run an Advisor for readers and a Gatekeeper for speaking requests. See plan limits.
