Linktree sends them somewhere. A fad answers them right there.
Linktree is a simple page that holds your links: Instagram, YouTube, WhatsApp, your shop. You put one Linktree link in your bio and people pick where to go. It does not answer anything. A fad is a chatbot at fad.fyi/yourname. A visitor asks about your prices, courses or availability and gets an answer, in English, Hindi or Hinglish, with a WhatsApp button when they want you.

- You only need people to pick from a few links, like YouTube, Instagram and your shop, and nobody has questions.
- Your bio link is purely about sending traffic to other platforms, not about answering or selling.
- You want a quick visual landing page with many link buttons and no content to prepare.
If your followers just need your links, Linktree does that well and quickly. If they ask you the same questions every day in DMs, a fad answers them for you and still shows your links in its contact details. A creator can simply put the fad link in the bio. Or keep Linktree and add your fad as the first button: Ask me anything.

Can a fad replace my Linktree completely?
For many people, yes. A fad can show your website, booking link, WhatsApp, phone, email, hours and address in its contact details, and it answers questions on top. If you need a long list of ten or more links with custom buttons, Linktree is still the simpler tool for that.
How do I use a fad as a creator or freelancer?
Feed it your rates, your services, your portfolio links and your FAQs as pasted text or a PDF. Pick the personal purpose during setup. Put fad.fyi/yourname in your bio. Followers ask about collaborations, prices or availability and get instant answers, and serious enquiries reach your WhatsApp.
Can I keep Linktree and add a fad?
Yes. Add your fad as a button on your Linktree, named something like Ask me anything or Prices and availability. Visitors who want a link take a link, and visitors with a question get an answer. Nothing about your current setup has to change.
