Share a link that opens with a question

Add a question to your lens link so it opens already answering, instead of showing visitors an empty box, which gets far more people to start a conversation.

A normal lens link opens to an empty question box, and the visitor has to think of what to ask. A prefilled link solves that. It opens your lens already answering a real question, so the first thing a visitor sees is your lens doing its job. People who land on a link like this are much more likely to keep the conversation going.

How to make one

Take your lens link and add ?ask= to the end, followed by the question you want it to answer.

When someone opens that link, your lens types the question and answers it on its own. Most places you paste a link (a browser, a chat app, a link tool) will tidy up the spaces for you. If a tool leaves the link looking odd, replace each space with %20 and it will still work.

What the visitor sees

  • The lens opens and, a moment later, sends your question and answers it in your voice, with sources.
  • After that, the address bar shows the plain lens link again, so if the visitor copies and shares it, they share the clean version.
  • It only auto-asks the first time someone arrives. A returning visitor keeps the conversation they already had, so you never interrupt them.

Where to use it

  • Direct messages. Instead of “here’s my link,” send a link that answers the exact question someone just asked you.
  • Your bio. Point your Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, or X bio at a link that opens on your most common question.
  • Newsletters and email signatures. “Ask my AI about X” reads better than a bare link.
  • Talks and slides. Put it behind a QR code so a room can open your lens already answering.

Tips

  • Pick a question that shows off what your lens is best at, not a yes or no question.
  • Keep it short and natural, the way a real person would ask.
  • Make a few different links for different places, each opening on the question that fits that audience.
