API Key Setup (Free & Easy)

LinkedIn Copilot uses Groq's free AI API, which offers generous limits for personal use:

   • Copy your key

2. Add to Extension

🔒 Privacy & Compliance

Responsible Usage

LinkedIn Copilot is designed as a writing assistant tool that helps you create content - it never takes actions on your behalf. Here's what it does and doesn't do:

What it DOES:

• Generates text suggestions for your review
• Fills in input fields with AI-generated content
• Provides template-based quick responses
• Analyzes LinkedIn content for context (locally processed)

What it DOESN'T do:

• Automatically send messages or comments
• Post content without your approval
• Store your LinkedIn data externally
• Take any actions without your explicit click

User Control

• You're always in control: All generated content appears in input fields for your review
• You decide what to send: The extension never clicks "Send" or "Post" for you
• Local processing: Your templates and settings are stored locally in your browser
• No data collection: Your LinkedIn activity and content are not stored or transmitted

Platform Compliance

This extension operates similarly to writing tools like Grammarly - it assists with content creation but leaves all posting decisions to you. Since it doesn't automate actions or violate LinkedIn's user experience, it maintains compliance with platform policies.

Use responsibly: While the tool helps with efficiency, always ensure your interactions remain genuine and authentic to maintain trust in your professional network.
