# Replies on LinkedIn

**In short:** there are two ways to comment on LinkedIn in your voice. With the Chrome extension, audenAI writes the comment straight into LinkedIn's own comment box. On the dashboard's **Replies** page, you draft a comment, copy it, and paste it. Either way, you press **Comment** yourself: VoiceMoat never posts comments on LinkedIn for you.

#### In LinkedIn's comment box (Chrome extension)

1. Open the comment box on any LinkedIn post, or the reply box under any comment.
2. Press the audenAI mark in the box, next to emoji, GIF, and photo.
3. Pick a tone (the list is headed **Comment as you**).
4. audenAI writes the comment straight into LinkedIn's box.
5. Edit it if you like, then press LinkedIn's **Comment** or **Reply** yourself.

A slim audenAI bar under the box shows the tone, the quality line, **Rewrite** (1 credit), and **Undo**, which puts back what was in the box before. When you reply to a comment, audenAI reads the post and the comment you are replying to, and LinkedIn's name tag for the person stays. See Chrome extension for the details and the on/off switch.

#### On the Replies page

Open **Replies** on a LinkedIn profile and you will see the LinkedIn reply grid. (There is no Extension tab here; on LinkedIn, the extension works inside LinkedIn's comment box instead.)

1. VoiceMoat surfaces LinkedIn posts worth replying to.
2. Pick a **tone** and audenAI drafts **one** comment in your LinkedIn voice.
3. **Copy** the draft and **paste** it as your comment on LinkedIn.
4. Confirm you commented, which ticks your reply budget.

{% hint style="warning" %}
LinkedIn does not allow tools to post comments on a member's behalf, so the last step is always yours. audenAI writes the comment; you post it. There is no way around this that stays within LinkedIn's rules.
{% endhint %}

#### How comments are written

The same writer drafts comments on the Replies page and in the extension, and Twitter replies too:

* one to three short lines, never a paragraph,
* in the post's language, including Hinglish when the post is in Hinglish,
* a real reaction (a feeling, your own take, a gentle disagreement, or a real question), not a summary of the post,
* no made-up facts, numbers, or stories: anything said as you comes from your own posts or your claim bank.

See Chrome extension for the full list, including how it handles list posts, brand announcements, and "Comment GUIDE" posts.

#### Tones

* **In the extension:** the same 12 tones as on Twitter, with the suggested tone and the ones you use most on top, or **Let audenAI pick**.
* **On the Replies page:** Thoughtful, Agree and build, Challenge, Contrarian, Witty, Question, Short, and Story, or let audenAI decide. You can also give a per-post custom angle. The more casual Twitter tones (Roast, Chill) are not offered here, since they rarely fit LinkedIn.

#### Where candidates come from

LinkedIn posts to reply to on the Replies page come from:

* the **creators you track**, and
* a shared pool built from your **home feed**, read by the Chrome extension (the **Grow the shared feed** switch in the popup).

So the extension is what keeps your LinkedIn reply grid stocked. Without it, you can still reply to tracked creators, but the home-feed pool will be thin.

#### Limits

LinkedIn replies use the same caps as Twitter (the overall reply limit and the Engage budget). See the table in Replies and Engage. Each draft costs 1 credit, and so does each **Rewrite** in the extension. Free plans cannot reply.

#### Common questions

**Why can't VoiceMoat just post my LinkedIn comment?** LinkedIn's rules do not permit posting comments through a tool. Filling the box (or drafting for you to paste) and leaving the final click to you keeps you compliant and keeps your account safe.

**Do I need the extension to reply on LinkedIn?** No, you can draft on the Replies page and paste. The extension saves the copy and paste by writing straight into LinkedIn's comment box, and it fills the home-feed candidate pool, so it is strongly recommended. See Chrome extension.

**Is the LinkedIn voice different from my Twitter voice?** Yes. Each profile trains its own voice, so LinkedIn replies read like your LinkedIn content, not your Twitter content.

**Can a comment mention my product?** Yes, if you add it to **Your products** in Voice Lab's **Teach audenAI** tab and tick **In comments**. audenAI mentions it only when a post is really about its space.
