In 2020, we launched Beacons Link-in-Bio. Today, we're launching Beacons 2.0: the evolution of our Link-in-Bio product into an AI-powered, all-in-one platform with integrated Store, Email Marketing, and Media Kits - all built for content creators.
Hey everyone—David here, Co-Founder of Beacons.ai.
We first launched Beacons Link in Bio on Product Hunt in December of 2020. A lot has changed since then, both at Beacons and in the creator industry.
Today, I’m excited to announce the launch of Beacons 2.0, an AI-powered platform that not only gives creators the tools they need to run their business, but uses AI to do work for them. 🚀
➡️ From 1.0 to 2.0
While building our Link in Bio for over 3 million creators, we realized a common theme: it’s a lot of work to build a creator business, and a lot of it has nothing to do with making content.
That’s why we’re going beyond Link in Bio. Today on Beacons, creators can find everything they need to build a business starting right now, with AI-powered tools that scale with them into the future.
The new all-in-one platform that we call “Beacons 2.0” consists of our reimagined Link-in-Bio, integrated with native Store, Email Marketing, and Media Kit tools for creators to market themselves and make money. All in one place—with AI features integrated throughout.
🔮 2.0 and beyond: AI for creators
Our co-founders met as PhD students at Stanford in AI and machine learning, and we’ve always believed that there would be more opportunities to use AI to help creators.
With Beacons 2.0, we’re weaving AI into the platform to help creators at every turn: emails and product descriptions are written in the creator’s tone of voice, image generation is at your fingertips wherever and whenever content is needed, and key information is automatically surfaced.
🤝 Creators and their managers
AI is one way for creators to scale themselves, but there are some things that only a human can do.
When a creator wants to expand their team, their first teammate is often a manager. And we want to help managers scale and succeed, too. So we launched [Beacons for Managers](https://beacons.ai/i/for-managers): a set of tools specifically to help managers pitch, report, and organize creator data.
Beacons for Managers is built on the same data layer as all of the Beacons creator tools, so creators and their managers can work together seamlessly.
🚀 **Creators are the business of the future**
We’re already seeing creators and managers succeeding with these new AI-powered tools—we’ve added some of our favorite examples to our new home page, which showcases the entire Beacons 2.0 platform.
We believe creators are the businesses of the future, and with Beacons 2.0, we’re building the next-generation platform that this new class of entrepreneur deserves.
As a Beacons creator, you can use all the tools for free or upgrade to Pro plans (https://beacons.ai/i/pricing) for advanced features.
Get started at http://beacons.ai and let us know what you think. We can’t wait to see what you build!

Much, much needed consolidation for creator tools 👏, it’s such a headache managing all the random software subscriptions and remembering why they were useful 😂 excited about all the new development, what’s the next frontier that the beacons team will tackle?
Join the millions of artists, creators, and makers on Beacons!
We've loved working with big celebrities like Sia, Green Day, Fall Out Boy, Weezer and the newest creators from Day 0 get started.
We're supercharging our product with meaningful, time-saving AI to help creatives focus on what they love most, creating content!
I’m flipping through old Loom videos, and it’s incredible to see how far we’ve come over the years I’ve been at @beaconsai ! When I look at what we’re launching today and the team we have – it’s clear we’re the best we’ve ever been. Amazing work, all ❤️. While just a stepping stone 😉, but it’s a big one - let’s gooooo!
As a long time user of Beacons (since 2021), Im excited to see all of the new changes and improvements that the Beacons team has put together.
The Store is now the cheapest and easiest place to sell digital products online while the Email marketing tool helps creators own their audience which is even more critical in 2023 with platform uncertainty.
The future of Beacons is bright for all creators on Beacons!
If you aren't using Beacons today, why not?
Congratulations to Team Beacons AI 2.0 on your Producthunt launch! The evolution of link-in-bio into an AI-driven platform is a leap forward. As a suggestion, it would be great to see an AI powered analytics tool integrated for content creators to better understand their audience behavior. Keep up the great work!
@manmohit We're working on adding AI analytics right now! Our first stab at it is in our email product, which tries to realtime evaluate the relative quality of members of your audience so that you can find your superfans!
Stellar work on Beacons AI 2.0, team! The evolution into a full-stack platform is a big leap for content creators. As I gear up for my own product launch next Tuesday, your success is truly inspiring. Hoping to achieve similar milestones. Any launch tips or insights you'd be willing to share?
Beacons AI is such an AWESOME product!! I love showing my friends this tool to help them level up their businesses as content creators. Super easy to use and keeps all you info in one place. A true all-in-one platform that you caters to your business needs!!
