Turn scattered thoughts into professional posts that start conversations.
Most professionals freeze in front of LinkedIn’s blank post box. You have ideas worth sharing, but translating them into something polished and engaging feels like a separate skill. Take advantage of the tools at hand: write your messy first thoughts, then let AI structure and smooth them into a clear, authentic post.
Capture your core insight without editing.
Write two or three sentences about what you want to share. Focus on substance, not style. Maybe it’s a lesson from a recent project, a trend you’ve noticed, or a contrarian take. Include details or numbers that ground your point. Don’t worry about typos yet. Save this version as your raw material.
