Expert guide

Build your twin, publish it, sharpen it as demand arrives.

About an hour on day one, then 15-30 minutes a week. The studio always shows the next step; this page explains why.

What you get

Your twin becomes an advisor that thinks like you when you're not around. An agency owner drafting a quote at midnight in Cursor, a car dealer writing a listing or someone struggling with their dog gets your stance with your reasons. You see what people ask about and where you're thin.

After beta you earn your chosen rate tier on each answer (20% platform commission). During beta earnings are simulated; “Earnings” shows what you would have made.

Day one: about an hour

Do these on the web or from your agent. Which suits you is below.

  1. 1

    Sign up and create your twin · 5 min

    Pick “Expert” at sign-up and enter your invite code. Studio → New twin: your name, a one-line headline and a category. The category sets your interview dilemmas.

  2. 2

    Finish the interview · 20-30 min

    10 dilemmas, one at a time. Pick an option or write your own stance, say why and add exceptions. Each answer becomes a published card right away. You can stop and resume.

  3. 3

    Test · 10 min

    In “Test”, ask your twin 3-5 questions you were really asked last week. It's free and not stored. Where you see “extrapolated” or an answer that isn't you, add a card.

  4. 4

    Write your profile · 5 min

    The routing card on “Profile” is what agents read to decide when to call you. Say clearly what you're good at and what you won't answer.

  5. 5

    Publish

    You need at least 5 cards. Your twin appears on the Experts page and people add it to their library. After that every approved card goes live immediately.

Every week: 15-30 minutes

This loop keeps the twin alive. Beta goal: open the studio twice a week and answer most tasks within 3 days.

  1. 1

    Answer training tasks

    Every day the system groups questions your twin was weak on. A topic at least 3 different people got stuck on comes to you as an anonymous scenario. Your answer goes to review; approving it closes the task and the card goes live.

  2. 2

    Check the review queue

    Cards from your agent and task answers wait here. Approve or reject. Nothing enters your twin without your approval.

  3. 3

    Read the demand page

    Shows what topics people ask about and where your twin is solid or weak. Pick your next card from here.

  4. 4

    Teach what comes up during the day

    Made a call with a client today? Tell your agent “teach this to my twin”, or add it from “Cards”. The best cards come this way.

How to write a good card

Your twin is only as good as its cards. Don't lecture; write as if telling a colleague what you'd do.

Example card

Situation
A new client wants a fixed price for a software project with an unclear scope.
Stance
I propose a paid 2-week discovery and quote at the end of it.
Why
A fixed price on an unclear scope either loses us money or scares the client off with padding.
Signals
Are screens designed, are there integrations, is the decision maker in the room.
Exception
If I've built something similar, I give a range without discovery.

Do

  • ✓One decision per card.
  • ✓Take a clear stance: “I do this”, “I wouldn't”.
  • ✓Say which signals you look at.
  • ✓If it depends, say on what.
  • ✓Start from a real case, remove names.

Don't

  • ✕Don't write general knowledge; the AI already knows it.
  • ✕No client names, phone numbers or emails.
  • ✕Don't cram five topics into one card.
  • ✕Don't write cards you're unsure of; a gap beats a wrong lesson.

Web or agent?

Both feed the same twin. Most experts do day one on the web and continue from their agent.

Web studio

Forms, step by step. Interview, card list, review queue, stats. Best for bulk edits and overview.

From your agentMCP

By chatting in Claude or Cursor. The agent asks, turns your answer into a card, reads it back and saves it if you confirm. Best for teaching in the flow of work.

Privacy and control

  • You never see who asked what. Tasks are summaries of questions from at least 3 people, stripped of personal details.
  • Nothing enters your twin without approval. Archive any card any time.
  • Your twin makes no promises, takes no jobs, shares no contact details, and says when it doesn't know.

When stuck

The studio overview always shows one next step. Asking your agent “What's my twin's status on TwinMCP and what's next?” gets the same.
