Drafting LinkedIn Posts
Transform selected insights or a topic brief into an engaging LinkedIn post optimized for professional engagement. Produces a ready-to-publish post with a clear hook, structured body, and call to action.
Instructions
-
Identify the single strongest angle. If given multiple insights, select the one that is most surprising, actionable, or debate-worthy. The post should have one clear point — not a summary of everything.
-
Write the hook (first 1-2 lines). This is the only part visible before "see more." It must stop the scroll. Use one of these patterns:
- Bold claim: "Most AI strategies fail because they start with the technology, not the problem."
- Surprising stat: "87% of AI pilots never make it to production. Here's why."
- Contrarian take: "The best AI teams I've worked with don't hire AI engineers first."
- Direct question: "When was the last time you automated something that actually saved you time?"
-
Write the body (3-5 short paragraphs). LinkedIn readers scan — keep paragraphs to 1-3 sentences. Structure options:
- Problem → Insight → Implication: State the problem, share the insight, explain what it means
- Story → Lesson → Application: Brief anecdote, what it taught you, how readers can apply it
- List of points: 3 numbered takeaways with one sentence each
-
Write the CTA (final 1-2 lines). Drive engagement with one of:
- Opinion prompt: "What's your take — does this match what you're seeing?"
- Experience prompt: "Have you tried this? What happened?"
- Share prompt: "If this resonates, share it with someone building their first AI workflow."
-
Formatting rules:
- Use line breaks between paragraphs (LinkedIn compresses text without them)
- Bold sparingly — one or two key phrases per post, not every sentence
- No more than 3 hashtags
- Target 150-250 words total
- Do not use emojis as bullet points or section markers
