🏆 2025 Zapier Automation Hero of the Year — Project Phoenix: A 95-step AI sales pipeline cutting development time by 50%. Read more →

Automate your LinkedIn engagement to generate qualified inbound leads through strategic commenting and creator targeting. Similar to ConnectSafely.ai but with more flexibility and BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) AI integration.

Features

1. Keyword Engagement

Find posts containing your target keywords and automatically engage with thoughtful, AI-generated comments.

• Search LinkedIn for posts with specific keywords
• Filter by decision-maker titles (CEO, VP, Director, etc.)
• Generate personalized comments using your voice profile
• Rate-limited to stay safe on LinkedIn

2. Creator Engagement

Position yourself in influential creators' comment sections to reach their audience.

• Target specific LinkedIn creators/influencers
• Automatically comment on their new posts
• Build relationships with industry thought leaders
• Get exposure to their followers

3. Post Boosting

Amplify your own content to reach more decision-makers.

• Share your post URL for engagement
• Get authentic engagement from real LinkedIn users
• Boost visibility beyond your immediate network

4. AI-Powered Comments

Generate thoughtful, on-brand comments using your choice of AI provider.

• Claude (Anthropic) - Best for nuanced, professional comments
• OpenAI (GPT-4) - Versatile and reliable
• Gemini (Google) - Cost-effective option

Why This Works

Traditional cold outreach has a 1.7% conversion rate. Strategic engagement that positions you as an expert has a 14.6% conversion rate (ConnectSafely.ai data).

By consistently showing up in relevant conversations with valuable insights, you:

• Build authority in your niche
• Attract prospects who already see you as an expert
• Generate warm inbound leads instead of cold outreach
