Using the Post Generator
The Post Generator follows a simple step-by-step process:
Step 1: Select Content Type
From all of the options that are displayed, choose what type of content it is that you want to convert to a LinkedIn post. The availanle content types are visible in the image above.
Note: Selecting the correct content type helps the tool preserve the most important elements when converting to LinkedIn format.
Step 2: Input Your Content
- After selecting your desired content type, you will be prompted to enter the content
- You can input upto 10k characters
Pro Tip: You can input content of any length-the tool will extract the key points and transform them into LinkedIn-friendly format.
Using Voice Input
For a hands-free content creation experience:
- Select the "Voice Input" option
- In the Voice Input modal that appears, click "Start Recording"
- Speak clearly to record your content
- When finished, the system will transcribe your speech
- Review the transcription and click "Use Transcription" to proceed
Alternative: Click "Upload Audio" to convert an existing audio file to text.
Pro Tip: Voice input is perfect for capturing natural language and tone. Many users find speaking their ideas results in more conversational content than typing.
Generating Post Variations
After inputting your content:
- Click the "Generate Posts" button
- The system will process your content and create multiple variations
- These variations will appear as selectable "angles" in the next step
Step 2: Choose Your Preferred Angle
After processing, you'll see a selection of different approaches to your content:
- Review the 3 different angles presented (typically labeled Angle 1, Angle 2, Angle 3)
- Each angle offers a different hook, tone, or structure for the same content
- Click on the angle that best matches your preferred approach
- The selected angle will be marked as "Selected"
What Are Angles? Angles represent different content approaches:
- Professional/authoritative
- Story-based/personal
- Question/challenging
- Data-driven/analytical
For example, the same content about LinkedIn strategy might be presented as:
- A thought-provoking question ("Think your LinkedIn strategy is data-driven?")
- A bold statement ("I just made $50,000 from a single LinkedIn post")
- A metaphor or analogy ("Your LinkedIn strategy is like my cooking...")
Reviewing Generated Posts
After selecting your preferred angle:
- The complete post appears in the "Generated Post" panel on the right
- Review the content for accuracy and tone
- You can see how the post will appear on LinkedIn, including your profile picture and name
Customizing and Publishing
Once your post is generated:
- Use the editing tools to make any necessary adjustments
- Click "Generate Again" if you want to create different variations
- When satisfied, you can:
- Publish directly to LinkedIn
- Schedule for later posting
- Save to your drafts
Pro Tip: The generated posts are tied to your "memories" (profile details and content themes), so they'll maintain consistency with your professional voice and historical content.
Best Practices for Using Post Generator
Choose the Right Content Types
Different content types work best for different goals:

Content Transformation Tips
- Keep Original Context: Include enough information for the AI to understand the original content's purpose
- Highlight Key Points: Mark important sections you want emphasized in the final post
- Consider Length: While you can input long-form content, focus on the most LinkedIn-relevant portions
- Include Data Points: Numbers and statistics tend to be preserved in the transformation process
Refining Generated Content
The Post Generator is designed to create professional LinkedIn content, but you should:
- Review for factual accuracy
- Adjust any industry-specific terminology
- Ensure the tone matches your professional brand
- Add personal touches where appropriate
Common Questions
How does the Post Generator differ from the Content Ideas feature?
The Content Ideas feature helps you generate new content concepts based on your themes, while the Post Generator transforms existing content into LinkedIn-friendly formats.
Can I generate posts from content in languages other than English?
Yes, the Post Generator supports multiple languages, though English typically produces the most reliable results.
How long can my input content be?
You can input content of almost any length, though very long content (10,000+ words) may result in more generalized outputs. For best results with longer content, focus on the specific sections you want to highlight.
Does the system retain my input content?
Your input content is processed securely and not stored permanently after post generation. However, the generated posts are saved to your account.
Can I customize the tone of generated posts?
The system automatically aligns with your content themes and previous posts. For more specific tone control, select an angle that matches your desired approach or edit the generated post directly.
