What GoLinks does

GoLinks allows you to create internal links for your company that are so easy to remember and share, you don't have to bookmark or copy and paste them in emails. For example, teams use GoLinks to keep track of their dashboard at go/metrics or an employee directory at go/directory - powered by AI. These internal link systems have been a standard for productivity boost within companies like Google, Yahoo, Linkedin, Twitter, and Airbnb for years. GoLinks is the first company building this as a service for everyone else. 75% of all employees at all of our customers use GoLinks every single month. In 2023, GoLinks, launched two new productivity solutions to build off of their vision of building a Gen AI productivity suite: - GoSearch ( An enterprise workplace search solution powered by AI. - GoProfiles ( A hub for your team to find shared connections, celebrate wins, and boost company culture - powered by gen AI!

We make GoLinks, a system for companies to create short internal links employees can easily remember and share, like go/metrics or go/directory. It replaces bookmarks and search inside companies and powers productivity. We've also launched GoSearch for AI-powered workplace search and GoProfiles, a team hub for connections and culture, both using generative AI.

We have team members in San Francisco, San Jose, and remote. After YC, we will remain based in the Bay Area, continuing to operate across these locations.
