About.me

What About.me is
About.me is a web service for building a personal page that explains who you are and what you do, with tools to bring your online presence together. Its free plan provides an about.me page and link, plus an email signature. Standard and Pro add a Virtual Twin that can chat with page visitors, answer their questions, share your story, and respond in your voice. You can train the Twin using text, documents, or web pages. It also records visitor contacts and chat history in a built-in CRM. Lead capture connects with a Google account to create a spreadsheet, and appointment scheduling integrates with Google Calendar. The email signature can be added automatically to Gmail or pasted into other email clients; weekly click counts are reported by email. Pro adds a portfolio for up to 30 captioned photos, video embeds, testimonials, a custom domain, branding removal, and Google Analytics. An existing domain can be mapped with Pro; new domains start at $10 per year. About.me describes its audience as freelancers, entrepreneurs, and side hustlers. Its terms require users to be at least 16.
