I Built DraftAI – An AI-Powered Writing Assistant for LinkedIn Messages

Hacker News

Hey HN, I built DraftAI, a chrome extension to help with LinkedIn messaging. I made it because I found myself overthinking LinkedIn replies, especially for networking, recruiter messages, or connection requests. Sometimes you want to be polite but not robotic, or friendly but not too casual. DraftAI helps by generating quick, context-aware responses so you don’t have to start from scratch. It’s still a work in progress, so I’d love to hear your thoughts. What would make this actually useful for you? Try it out: http://draftai.io/ Cheers!
