About Linkd
The Linkd site presents its product under the name sema. A single sentence describing your work and your target audience is enough, for example clients, investors, hiring managers or collaborators, and it searches sources that general chat tools cannot reach to return real people with verified email addresses. A memory profile built during your first chat records what you offer, whom you serve, your tone and your links, and you can edit it in settings.
Each email is drafted around the person reading it, in your voice and with your links. You approve or edit the drafts, and messages go out from your own connected email account rather than a separate sending domain. It tracks opens and clicks and follows up automatically on people who went quiet, stopping when they reply.
Plans are credit-like limits. Free allows 6 chat messages a day, 10 emails a week and drafting 3 emails at a time. Plus costs $49.99 per month with 30 chat messages a day, 50 emails a week, scheduled sends and automatic follow-ups. Pro costs $79.99 per month with 100 messages a day, 100 emails a week and drafting up to 25 at once.
