The LiGo Chrome extension allows you to create personalized comment style packs that help you maintain a consistent voice when engaging on LinkedIn. This guide shows you how to set up custom comment styles that sound authentically like you.
What You'll Learn
- How to access the Style Preferences section
- Creating and naming custom comment styles
- Adding example comments to train the AI
- Setting preferred style features
- Managing multiple comment styles
- Setting a default style for daily use
Accessing Style Preferences
To begin creating custom comment styles:
- Click the LiGo extension icon in your browser
- When the sidebar opens, click on the "Style Preferences" button at the top
- The Style Preferences page will open in a new tab
- Ensure "Comment Styles" is selected in the tab menu
Alternative Access: You can also find Style Preferences in the web app by going to Settings and selecting the Styles section.
Creating a New Comment Style
To create a custom comment style:
- Click the "+ Add New Comment Style" button in the top right
- In the popup dialog, enter a descriptive style name (e.g., "Professional Updates" or "Casual Engagement")
- Click "Create Style"
Your new style will appear in the list of available comment styles.
Pro Tip: Create different styles for different engagement contexts. For example, you might want a more formal style when engaging with industry thought leaders and a more conversational style when interacting with your regular network.
Customizing Style Features
For each style, you can toggle specific features:
Include Emojis
- Toggle ON to allow the AI to include appropriate emojis in generated comments
- Toggle OFF for a more formal, text-only approach
Include Hashtags
- Toggle ON to incorporate relevant hashtags in your comments
- Toggle OFF for cleaner comments without hashtags
Note: These toggles help shape the overall feel of your generated comments while maintaining your voice and style.
Adding Example Comments
The key to creating an effective style is providing good examples. There are two ways to add examples:
Method 1: Add Your Own Examples
- Click "+ Add Example" within your style card
- In the dialog box, enter your example comment or paste one from your LinkedIn history
- Click "Add" to save the example
Method 2: Choose from LiGo's Library
- Click "+ Add Example"
- In the "Help us learn your preferred style" dialog, scroll down to "Or Choose from Our Examples"
- Browse examples by category using the dropdown filter
- When you find a suitable example, click the "+" button to add it to your style
What Makes a Good Example?
- Examples that reflect your authentic voice and tone
- Comments showcasing your typical sentence structure and vocabulary
- Different engagement types (questions, praise, thoughtful additions, etc.)
- Variety in length and complexity
Pro Tip: Add at least 3-5 examples for each style to give the AI enough context to understand your preferred approach.
Managing Example Comments
After adding examples, you can:
- Edit any example by clicking the pencil icon
- Delete examples by clicking the trash icon
- Add more examples as needed
- Click "Show More Examples" to view all examples in your style
Note: The AI improves its understanding of your style with each example, so consider adding more examples over time, especially if you find the generated comments aren't quite matching your voice.
Setting a Default Style
To make a particular style your go-to option:
- Click "Make it default" on the style card you want to use most often
- The selected style will be used automatically when generating comments
You can change your default style at any time by selecting "Make it default" on a different style card.
Using Multiple Styles
You can create multiple comment styles for different contexts:
- Professional style for industry discussions
- Casual style for connections and peers
- Humorous style for lighter interactions
- Inquisitive style focused on asking thoughtful questions
Switch between styles when generating comments by selecting the appropriate style in the extension interface.
Style Organization Tips
For effective style management:
- Name styles clearly: Use descriptive names that remind you of the style's purpose
- Limit the number of styles: Focus on 2-3 core styles for different contexts
- Refine over time: Add new examples to styles as you create comments you're particularly satisfied with
- Review periodically: Occasionally check if your styles still match your current voice and preferences
Comment Style in Action
When using the LiGo Chrome extension to engage with LinkedIn posts:
- Navigate to any LinkedIn post
- Click the LiGo extension icon to open the sidebar
- Ensure you're on the "Engage" tab
- The extension will use your default comment style to generate comments
- Generated comments will appear in your personalized voice and style
- You can edit any generated comment before posting
Style Performance Tips
To get the most authentic comments:
- Include diverse examples: Add examples showing different tones, lengths, and purposes
- Be authentic: Use your actual past comments rather than aspirational ones
- Update periodically: As your professional voice evolves, update your style examples
- Test and refine: Try different combinations of examples to find what generates the most authentic results
Common Questions
How many examples should I include in each style?
Start with 3-5 examples per style. You can add more over time to refine the AI's understanding of your voice. The minimum is 1, but more examples lead to better results.
Can I use comments I've made on other platforms as examples?
Yes, but LinkedIn comments often have a specific professional tone. For best results, use actual comments you've made on LinkedIn.
How do I know if my style is working well?
Generated comments should sound like you wrote them. If they feel off or use phrases you wouldn't, add more examples or modify existing ones.
Can I share my style with team members?
Currently, styles are user-specific. For teams managing multiple LinkedIn accounts, each user should create their own styles.
What's the difference between comment styles and post styles?
Comment styles focus on shorter-form engagement with others' content, while post styles shape your original posts. Managing both ensures consistency across all your LinkedIn activity.
