I’ve spent years connecting with people on LinkedIn, only to have their accounts vanish once we connect. It’s frustrating, right? So, I decided to take matters into my own hands and create an AI agent that turns my LinkedIn into a searchable CRM and bulk direct message engine.
The idea was simple: build an agent that can search my connections by role, company, keywords, bio, and recent activity, and then send personalized direct messages to them in bulk. And it’s been a game-changer.
Here’s what my AI agent can do:
– Search my connections by role, company, keywords, bio, and recent activity
– Create a base template for direct messages, and then personalize each one using the contact’s name, company, role, and recent posts
– Send direct messages in batches with randomized timing and quiet hours
The results have been amazing. I’ve been able to target the right people with the right message, and it’s saved me so much time. I’ve even used it to blast personalized direct messages to over 60 angel investors at once.
If you’re like me and tired of wasting time on LinkedIn, I’d love to share more about my progress as I continue to build and refine this agent. Stay tuned for updates!
## The Power of Personalization
One of the most surprising things about this experiment has been how well the personalization works. By using the contact’s name, company, role, and recent posts, I’ve been able to create direct messages that feel genuinely tailored to each person. And the response rate has been much higher than I expected.
## The Future of LinkedIn
I think this project shows just how much potential LinkedIn has as a platform. With a little creativity and some AI magic, we can turn it into a powerful tool for networking and outreach. I’m excited to see where this project takes me, and I hope it inspires others to think outside the box when it comes to LinkedIn.
