What if the one that matters is dying in your inbox right now?
For people whose work runs on messages from strangers - and who can't close the door, because the one that matters is in there somewhere.
Linkhume lets serious strangers show they mean it - before they reach you. Same inbox. Nothing to install.
Free. One minute to set up.
THE PROBLEM
You keep the door open on purpose.
Somewhere in that pile is a deal, a story, a partnership - and you've missed one before.
YOUR MORNING
Picture tomorrow morning.
50 new messages. 4 came through Linkhume. You know where to start. No guessing who's a bot, who sprayed 500 people, and who actually means it.
WHY NOW
AI-generated now looks the same as thoughtfully crafted.
People who chose you on purpose shouldn't be buried under hundreds of those who didn't.
HOW TO USE
Keep your regular inbox. Add a second door.
Email still works the way it does today. What comes through Linkhume lands in the same inbox - as a signal: someone verified who they are, wrote to you by hand, and put a stake on the line.
FIRST MESSAGE ONLY
Linkhume is for the first touch, nothing more.
Once you reply, the conversation moves to regular email. No new messenger, no new inbox.
GET STARTED
Three steps.
1. Get your link - verify via LinkedIn, add your email. 2. Put it where people reach you: your bio, signature, auto-reply - or send it like a Calendly link. 3. Requests land in your inbox. Reply, decline, or let them expire.
You set the bar. They prove it with action, not words.
Free. One minute to set up.
YOU'RE NOT ALONE
"My email app and my texting app are now both amazing at AI-auto-summarizing all of the spam/fraud/phishing attacks they can no longer filter out." - Marc AndreessenX
"In less than 90 days, all channels that we thought were safe from spam & automation will be so flooded that they will no longer be usable in any functional sense." - Nikita BierX
"I got a pointless email from someone. When I asked why he'd emailed me, he apologized and said that OpenClaw had sent it." - Paul GrahamX
FAQ
I have warm intros. Why would I need this?
Keep them. Warm intros show you what your network already sees. Linkhume is for the ones nobody forwarded you.
My AI assistant already sorts my inbox.
Great - keep it. It reads text, and text is free to write now. Linkhume adds something text can't fake.
Do I pay anything?
No. Senders put a stake on the line. You never pay.
What happens to the sender's stake?
You reply - it goes to you. You decline - most of it goes back. No answer by the deadline - it goes back.
Do I have to move to a new inbox?
No. Same inbox, same calendar, nothing to install.
Hot and cold?
Cold by origin: strangers you don't know yet. Hot by signal: they proved they care before you read a word.
The $600 million message
He could have made $600 million. He didn't. Cursor's CEO messaged him in 2022. He never saw it. [link to the original post by @businessbarista]
