LinkedIn Post

What This Agent Does

This Agent transforms any professional source material into a credible LinkedIn post. It enforces platform norms, trims hashtags, manages mentions responsibly, and always returns valid XML, even if your inputs are blank, contradictory, or malformed.

• It’s tuned for LinkedIn’s professional environment:
• Value-first hooks that open with insight, achievement, news, or a question
• Concise, information-dense posts in the 50–220 word range
• Respectful, disciplined handling of links, hashtags, mentions, and tone
• Smart defaults that avoid over-casual, emoji-heavy styles
• Strict brand control hierarchy (Guidelines > Voice > Tone)

Use it when you want LinkedIn posts that read like thoughtful professionals wrote them — not bots.

When to Use It

Perfect for:

• Thought leadership: Breaking down reports, articles, or Data Streams into usable insights
• Company milestones: Announcing growth, funding, launches, or achievements
• Recruiting: Sharing open roles, hiring goals, or cultural updates
• Events: Promoting upcoming webinars, conferences, or in-person sessions
• Professional conversations: Starting discussions with industry peers

Use it when you need:

• Defensible content that won’t embarrass leadership
• Structured XML outputs for schedulers, CRMs, or analytics pipelines
• Safe, professional defaults that enforce LinkedIn etiquette

When Not to Use It

Avoid this Agent for:

• Other platforms (Facebook, Instagram, X — use their Agents)
• LinkedIn Articles / longform essays — this is optimized for posts, not blogs
• Casual or meme-driven content — tone defaults to professional

Inputs and Configuration

Basic Configuration

Advanced Configuration

Brand Controls (Plain English)

1. If you paste rules in Brand Guidelines, they override everything.
2. If not, Brand Voice controls phrasing.
3. If neither, Desired Tone applies.
4. If nothing is set, the Agent defaults to professional, credible, approachable business style.

Composition Rules

• Structure:
  • 1–3 short paragraphs
  • Hook in line 1, aligned to Professional Angle
  • Concise sentences, information-dense
• Angles:
  • Insight → takeaway or framework first
  • Achievement → quantify milestone, give context, credit team/customers
  • News share → state update, give relevance, suggest next step
  • Conversation starter → pose a thoughtful, practitioner-level question
• Audience shaping:
  • Use Audience Description to adjust jargon and depth
  • Hiring managers = outcomes; Investors = drivers/risks; Policy = implications
• Hashtags:
  • Always at the end
  • Clamp to Hashtag Limit (0–5)
  • Must be professional, industry-relevant
• Mentions:
  • If Mentions Toggle = on → exactly one company mention, normalized
  • If blank → placeholder @CompanyName
  • No people mentions; no guesses
• CTA & Links:
  • Order: Body → CTA → Link → Hashtags
  • If Include Link = true + URL present → place link neatly near the end
  • If goal = traffic but Include Link = false → copy still frames value, but omits link
• Emojis:
  • Avoided by default
  • If Guidelines require → up to 2 subtle emojis allowed
• Hard constraints:
  • Never invent facts
  • No long-dash punctuation (replace with -)
  • Avoid robotic filler

Image Handling

You can either upload an image or generate one with the chosen Image Model.

Modes

Uploaded

• Attach your brand photo or graphic
• No AI image credits used
• The Agent provides a concise caption that ties the visual to the caption

AI-Generated

• The Agent creates a literal, realistic scene description for the selected Image Model
• The Agent always provides a caption
• Uses image credits and takes a little longer

Credits & Usage

• Text-only posts → lowest credit use
• Uploaded images → no extra AI credits
• AI-generated images → image credits consumed + short delay

Tip: Use uploads for milestones and events where you already have visuals; use AI for net-new campaigns or thought leadership.

Example Patterns

• Insight (Thought leadership):
  “Three patterns stand out across 120 SaaS P&Ls: faster cash conversion, narrower GTM focus, and fewer bet-the-company launches. Here’s how that shows up in the data.”
• Achievement (Milestone):
  “We crossed 1M weekly active users and expanded into three new regions. What made the difference: reliability work, clearer packaging, and customer-led roadmaps.”
• News share:
  “New privacy guidance just landed. If you run analytics on EU traffic, here are two steps to reduce risk this month.”
• Conversation starter:
  “What is one metric you wish your board asked about less — and which one should replace it?”

Troubleshooting

• “My link didn’t appear.” → Include Link off, or no valid URL detected.
• “Only one mention?” → By design. One company mention max for safety.
• “Fewer hashtags than I set.” → Irrelevant/duplicate tags trimmed.
• “Tone mismatch.” → Check Brand Guidelines or select Voice/Tone.
• “Weird characters in output.” → The Agent sanitizes dashes/entities.
• “Post too long.” → Switch to Short or Standard length.

FAQs

Q: Can I post without a link while driving traffic?

Q: Can I tag people?
Yes. Mentions their name

Q: Do uploaded images use credits?
No. Only AI images consume credits.

Q: Will it always output XML?
No. Choose the output format

Q: Emojis?
Avoided unless Brand Guidelines explicitly allow (≤2, subtle).
