Dear Alli

Dear Alli for LinkedIn

Visual walkthrough — see exactly what it does

Dear Alli is your DM coach, living in a sidebar right inside LinkedIn. You click one button and Alli hands you a draft, right on the page. It reads only what is on your screen, and only when you click. Here is what that looks like.

Where it lives

A round Dear Alli button sits at the bottom-right of LinkedIn, in your feed and in your messages. Click it and the sidebar slides in.

Your DMs

Guide you through a DM

You are mid-conversation and not sure what to say. Open the thread, click Capture, and Alli reads it and gives you a draft reply, plus the thinking behind it. Ask her to adjust until it sounds right.

New connections

On someone's profile, Alli drafts three opening messages to send with your connection request, in different angles. Copy the one that fits.

Commenting

Comment on a post

On anyone's post, click Comment with Alli. Pick your voice: Dear Alli to warm someone up, or your own voice to show your expertise. You get three grounded comments.

Commenting on posts

Copy the one you like. When you actually post it, tap Mark as posted, so your scoreboard tracks what is really working, not just what you drafted.

Dear Alli AS YOU ADD This is exactly what I see with my clients. The ones who wait to feel ready are usually the ones already doing the work, they just have not given themselves permission to call it that yet. Copy Mark as posted After you post it, one tap turns it green: ✓ Logged so your scoreboard counts real posts, not drafts.
