LinkedIn profiles and recommendation letters
Feed AI real facts about your work, and it can draft a profile summary or a recommendation that sounds like a real person wrote it.
01 · The idea
Profile summaries and recommendations often read like they came from the same template: "hardworking, passionate, team player". Readers skip them.
Specific beats general. For a profile, give the AI your field, two or three results you are proud of and the kind of work you want next. Ask for a short summary in the first person.
For a recommendation letter, the writer should give AI one or two real stories about the person, with results. "She cut our invoice errors by half in three months" is worth more than ten adjectives.
Edit until it sounds like you. If you are writing a recommendation for someone, sign only what you truly believe. Your name is on it.
