LinkedIn, the professional social networking platform, has introduced a new artificial intelligence (AI) feature designed to generate a first draft for users when they share at least 30 words describing their thoughts. Keren Baruch, Director of Product at LinkedIn, announced the feature in a LinkedIn post, acknowledging the challenge of transforming a great idea into a full-fledged post. The new feature allows members to utilize generative AI directly within the LinkedIn share box.
To begin using the feature, users must provide a minimum of 30 words outlining their intended message, which serves as the core of their post. They can then leverage generative AI to create an initial draft, providing a solid foundation for further review, editing, and personalization before clicking the post button. LinkedIn aims to carefully test this experience before making it available to all members, emphasizing a thoughtful approach to its rollout.
