Last updated: 4 months ago

Important to know

This feature is currently available only in English and only available for LinkedIn Premium subscribers.

You can now create a draft post with an AI-powered writing tool that will take your ideas on a topic and quickly transform them into a first draft. The more details you provide, the better your draft will be. You will have ultimate control and ownership over the final post, so you should review and revise the generated content before sharing your post. As always, it is recommended that you create content on topics you have expertise or personal knowledge about.

Here's a tip

The feature is now available from the See your Premium features tab as well as the Start a post pop-up window.

To create posts with our AI-powered writing tool:

  1. Click Start a post at the top of your LinkedIn homepage.

  2. In the share box, enter the main points that you want to highlight in your post. You have to be detailed and specific to generate a better draft.

    Important to know

    You must enter a minimum of 20 words before you can generate a draft. The Rewrite with AI button is enabled after you’ve met this requirement.

  3. Click Rewrite with AI.

  4. Review and edit the content created by the AI-powered writing tool based on your input.

  5. Click Post.

    Here's a tip

    If you haven’t made any edits to the generated draft, the Add your thoughts dialog reminds you to review and add more of your own thoughts before posting. We strongly recommend editing and adding your own thoughts to ensure the post reflects your point of view.

  6. Click Keep editing to edit your post, and after you’ve made your final reviews and edits, click Post.

This tool should be used to help take your initial thoughts for a LinkedIn post to a first draft quickly. Use this as a place to jot down your notes and ideas, and the AI-powered tool will help bring it all together.

Some things to keep in mind when writing your input:

  • Provide specific and detailed information on what you want to write about. Don't give high level talking points or topics.
  • Don’t ask the tool to come up with ideas for you or help you brainstorm.
  • Don’t use the tool to do anything other than write a LinkedIn post.

Examples of good input

  • “I want to write about the potential of remote work, highlighting how the right tools and mindset can lead to a productive and engaging work environment, despite the lack of physical presence. I'll reiterate the importance of technology for communication, collaboration, and virtual meetings, and end by challenging the audience to explore the future of remote work.”
  • "I want to write about ways to go about building a strong product strategy and roadmap. Specifically mentioning the importance of understanding member needs, business needs in a specific time horizon, and having some sort of prioritization framework. Important to dream big and have vision, but also outline concrete steps to realizing it."

Examples of bad input

  • “Write a post explaining the differences between deep learning, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. Explain how all three relate to generative AI. Provide long and detailed explanations with specific examples.”
  • “Write about the latest trends in technology that my network would find interesting. List 3 resources for people to learn from. Ask them a question about how they use this trend in their daily lives.”
  • “Write something insightful about the economy. Make it thought-provoking and engaging. Provide a strong opinion about the future of the economy and make predictions for what will happen in the next few years.”

Important to know

If the input you provide lacks sufficient detail, validity, or appropriateness, an error message appears asking you to share relevant, detailed information on what you want to post about, so the tool can help you create a first draft.

Best practices

Here are some best practices to create a post using the AI-powered writing tool:

  • Write about topics of which you have personal knowledge, expertise, or experience.
  • Be detailed and specific when providing your input so that the generated draft can be more personalized and less generic.
  • Use this tool to create a LinkedIn post, not to perform another task.
  • Be sure to review the generated content and make edits. Generative AI may provide incorrect information so it is important to actively review and refine the content before sharing your post.
