Publishing & Sharing
Make your companion public and share it with the world.
Once your companion is ready, it is time to let people use it. Publishing makes your companion visible to the world, and the share modal gives you everything you need to spread the word.
Choosing Your Companion's Visibility
Every companion starts as None -- not shared with anyone. There are three visibility states:
- Public -- listed on Explore and open to everyone.
- Private -- not publicly listed, but reachable by anyone holding an active private link or email invite you've sent them.
- None -- not shared with anyone at all.
To change visibility:
- Open the companion's Share modal (from the action menu on the companion card, or from within the companion's settings)
- You will see a visibility picker at the top of the modal
- Choose Public, Private, or None
You can also change visibility directly from the companion card's action menu on your Creator Profile page.
Make sure your companion's profile is in good shape before publishing. At minimum, customize the name, description, personality, and greeting. The Profile Completion indicator can help you see what is missing.
The Share Modal
When you open the share modal for a companion, you get all the same sharing tools as your profile share modal. The QR code, social buttons, and link bar below only appear while the companion is Public -- switch to Private to manage links and invites instead.
QR Code

Social Media Sharing
Share directly to five platforms with one click:
| Platform | What Happens |
|---|---|
| Opens a WhatsApp message pre-filled with your companion's link | |
| X (Twitter) | Opens a new tweet with the companion's link |
| Opens the Facebook sharing dialog | |
| Opens LinkedIn's share page | |
| Opens your email client with a pre-filled message |
Link Bar (Public)
When your companion is Public, its public URL is displayed in a bar with two actions:
- Open in new tab -- preview the companion's public chat page
- Copy link -- copy the URL to your clipboard
Private Links & Email Invites (Private)
When your companion is Private, the QR code and social buttons are hidden. Instead you get two management sections:
- Private Links -- generate one or more shareable links. Each link has its own expiry date, and can be copied, extended, temporarily revoked and reactivated, or permanently deleted.
- Email Invites -- invite specific people by email. Each invite can be resent, revoked, re-invited after being revoked, or deleted. Select multiple invites to resend them all at once.
Visibility Picker
The picker at the top of the modal lets you switch between Public, Private, and None without leaving the share screen.
Switching a companion to None revokes every active private link and email invite at once -- visitors using them will lose access immediately. The revoked links and invites aren't deleted, though: switch back to Private to see them again and reactivate the ones you still want to use.
