How it works

Four steps.
One outcome.
Every time.

You build a link once — choosing a template or designing it from scratch. When someone clicks it, they have a real conversation. When it ends, a brief lands in your dashboard — who they are, how they fit, and what to say next.

i.
Step one

Create your link.
Your way.

Start from one of our pre-built templates — designed for recruiters, consultants, coaches, and more — or have a conversation with Thayne's link creation AI. Tell it what you do, who you're talking to, and what you want to know. It builds your link configuration from that conversation. Either way, you're live in under ten minutes.

Start from a template

Pick a template built for your use case — recruiter intake, consultant qualification, coaching discovery, and more. Each one comes pre-configured with sensible probe questions, fit tiers, and an opening message. Edit what you want, delete what you don't, go live.

Or design from scratch with AI

Have a conversation with Thayne's link creation assistant. Tell it what you do, what a good prospect looks like, and what you'd want to know. It builds your link configuration from the conversation — opening message, probe questions, tiers, everything. You review, tweak, and publish.

23 templates in the library

Every template is built around a real use case — from filtering inbound enquiries to replacing a discovery call to screening job applicants. Each one comes with a full configuration ready to personalise. Pick one, make it yours, go live.

You're live in ten minutes

Both paths get you to a live, configured link faster than you'd expect. The AI path in particular removes the blank-page problem entirely. You talk, it builds.

Test it before anyone sees it

Every link has a built-in test tab. Run as many conversations as you want before sharing it with anyone. You'll know exactly how it behaves — because you built it. Nothing goes live until you're comfortable with it.

ii.
Step two

Configure it.
Make it yours.

The link editor is where you write exactly what your link says and does. The opening message, the probe questions, the fit tiers, how it closes. Every field is yours to write. On Pro, an AI assistant sits alongside you in the editor — reviewing your configuration and suggesting improvements as you build.

Where your link lives

Your link is a URL — share it anywhere someone might want to get in touch. Your LinkedIn bio, your email signature, a cold outreach message, your website contact page, or sent directly in reply to an enquiry. Wherever someone reaches out to you, your link can be there first.

The opening message

Written by you, word for word. The first thing anyone sees when they click your link. Your voice, from the very first line.

Probe questions

The exact things you'd want to know before deciding if someone is worth your time. Your link asks them naturally, follows up on the answers, and builds a picture. The questions you always forget to ask, asked every time.

Fit tiers

Your labels, your criteria. Every conversation gets placed. You open your dashboard and immediately know what you're looking at — no interpretation required.

AI assistant in the editor (Pro)

On Pro, an AI panel reads your configuration as you write it — flagging weak probe questions, suggesting sharper phrasing for your opening, reviewing your tier criteria. A second pair of eyes before you go live.

iii.
Step three

Your link has the conversation.
Every time, to your standard.

Someone clicks your link — from your email signature, LinkedIn, a cold message, your website. A real conversation starts immediately. Your link listens to what they say, follows up on it, asks your probe questions in the right place, and builds a genuine picture of who this person is and whether they fit. Not a bot running a script. A conversation built entirely around what you've written.

Hey — I'm James's intake assistant. James works with founders and scale-up leaders who want to fix their hiring process. Tell me what's going on with your hiring right now and I'll work out if James can help.
You
We're about 40 people, Series A. Been trying to hire a Head of Product for four months. Three offers fallen through — mostly comp expectations.
James's assistant
Four months and three fallen offers is significant. When the offers fall through at comp — is that because your ranges are misaligned with the market, or are candidates getting counter-offered once they're deep in your process?
You
Bit of both honestly. But we're also losing them at the final stage — something's happening in the process too.
James's assistant
Type your message…

It opens with your words

The first message is exactly what you wrote. Your framing, your angle, your voice. The person on the other end feels like they're talking to you — because in every meaningful sense, they are.

It listens and follows up

Your link doesn't run through a checklist. It listens to what someone says and responds to what they actually mean — probing in the right direction, at the right moment. Not a form. A conversation.

It applies your criteria

Throughout the conversation, your link is assessing. It knows what a strong fit looks like for your work — because you defined it. By the end, it has a clear read. Not a guess.

It runs without you

Your link doesn't have office hours. Whether someone reaches out at 9am on a Tuesday or 11pm on a Sunday, they get the same quality of first conversation.

iv.
Step four

Read the brief.
Walk in already knowing.

Every conversation lands in your dashboard as a brief — an AI-generated read of what just happened. Not a raw transcript. A real assessment: who they are, how well they fit, what came up that matters, and the one thing worth knowing before you reach out. Two minutes to read. Everything you need to follow up with confidence.

Briefing
Series A SaaS founder, 40 people, four months into a Head of Product search with three fallen offers. The problem is late-stage — candidates are losing conviction in the final phase, not at the top of the funnel. Both comp misalignment and something happening in the final-stage process are at play; she acknowledges both but suspects the process is the more fixable problem. She hasn't worked with an external hiring consultant before, so James would be the first outside perspective on her process. High urgency, clear brief, motivated buyer.
The board is pushing for this to be resolved before their Series B conversation in Q4. There's a hard deadline — this isn't open-ended. Lead with the timeline when you reach out.

A tier verdict, immediately

Every conversation is placed against your criteria the moment it ends. Open the dashboard and see instantly — your labels, your language, no interpretation needed.

An AI-written brief

Not a summary of what was said — a read of what it means. Written fresh by AI for every conversation. It varies because conversations vary.

Intelligence Chat (Pro)

Ask questions across your conversations — patterns, what your strongest fits have in common. A layer of understanding across your whole pipeline.

What makes it different

Not a form. Not a chatbot.
A real first conversation.

01

It listens, not just asks

A form asks the same questions to everyone. A chatbot runs a script. Your Thayne link listens to what someone actually says and responds to it — following up on the interesting bit, not mechanically moving to the next field.

02

It sounds like you

Because you wrote it. The voice, the framing, the specific way you ask questions — all yours. The person on the other end isn't talking to a generic AI. They're talking to a version of you — configured by you, in your voice, running your questions. Every word in that conversation started with something you wrote.

03

It never has a bad day

Your energy varies. Your link doesn't. The same quality of first conversation whether someone reaches out Monday morning or Friday evening after three back-to-back calls.

04

It knows your standards

You defined what good looks like. Your link assesses against your specific criteria — not a generic scoring system. The verdict reflects your judgment, not an algorithm's.

05

It runs without you

Your link doesn't have office hours. Every opportunity gets the same quality of intake, regardless of when it arrives. You wake up to a dashboard, not a missed message.

06

The brief is the product

The conversation isn't the goal — the brief is. Every exchange is designed to surface what you need and produce a read you can act on. Two minutes to read. Everything you need.

See it for yourself.
