LinkedIn Networking Agent
No list to import, no pitch on the connection request. The agent finds people by keyword, earns the connection, watches for a few days, then writes a DM that isn't generic.
Key takeaways
- Add people by keyword search or by pasting a profile link — no CSV/XLSX import required.
- Default flow per person: engage a post → send a no-pitch connection note → engage 1-2 more posts → wait ~2 days after accept → opening DM (a specific observation + an open question, not a pitch) → one soft follow-up if there's no reply.
- Keyword discovery rotates through your saved search phrases and queues new profiles automatically, capped by your license plan's active-people limit.
- Comment and connection-request caps live on Safety Controls, scoped per LinkedIn account; intro DMs have their own separate daily cap.
- Optional Book demo mode hands the reply thread to an LLM agent whose goal is booking a call via your configured demo link, instead of a scripted DM.
- People, Visited, Test, and History tabs mirror the other agents: a queue you can see into, a way to test one step against a single profile, and a friendly activity log.
- Runs in the same LinkedIn Chrome profile as the Comment Agent and shares its daily comment budget — Campaigns runs in a separate profile with its own budget.
Most LinkedIn outreach tools start from a list you already have and a pitch you already wrote. The Networking Agent starts earlier than that: it finds people itself from keywords you care about, earns the connection without pitching anything, and only messages once it has actually watched the person's activity for a few days. It's built for relationship-building, not list-blasting.
How a person moves through the flow
- 1
Discover or add
The agent finds new people by rotating through your saved keyword phrases and queuing matching profiles, or you paste a specific LinkedIn profile link yourself. Either path lands in the same queue.
- 2
Engage, then connect
It engages with a post first (when comment budget remains), then sends a connection request with a no-pitch note — a genuine reason to connect, not an offer.
- 3
Warm up after accept
Once they accept, it engages 1-2 more posts and waits roughly two days before messaging — the observation window an opening DM is built from.
- 4
Opening DM, not a pitch
The DM references something specific the agent actually saw on their profile or posts, plus an open question — never a scripted sales pitch.
- 5
One soft follow-up, then retire
If there's no reply after the wait period, one softer follow-up goes out. Still nothing, and the person is retired from the active list rather than chased further.
Two ways to build the queue
| Source | How it works |
|---|---|
| Keyword discovery | One search phrase per line in Setup — e.g. "founder b2b saas", "demand generation manager". Discovery rotates through them and queues new profiles up to your plan's active-people cap. |
| Manual profile link | Paste a specific LinkedIn profile URL in People to add just that person, without touching keyword discovery at all. |
Style and intent, on top of your writing voice
Comment guidance and message guidance layer on top of your shared writing style — tone words like "sound like a fellow founder" or the actual reason you want to connect ("I run a community for B2B marketers and want genuine peers"). Both feed into the connection note, the warm-up comments, and the opening DM, so the voice stays consistent end to end.
Optional: hand replies to a Book demo agent
Turn on Book demo and, once a thread is live, an LLM agent reads the conversation and decides what to send next — the goal is booking a call through your configured demo link, rather than following a fixed opening-DM-then-follow-up script. It's a per-run toggle, with a Setup default you can leave on or off.
Visibility: People, Visited, Test, and History
- People: everyone currently in the loop, with a status pill — Observing, Ready to message, Messaged, Followed up, Replied, or No reply.
- Visited: profiles the agent has already looked at, so keyword discovery never re-queues someone it's already been through.
- Test: run one step — discover, connect, observe, message, check for a reply, check pending, or Book demo — against a single profile link, without touching the real queue.
- History: a persisted, filtered activity feed of what actually ran, same pattern as the other agents.
Setup checklist
- 1Connect LinkedIn in the desktop app — the Networking Agent shares that account's session with the Comment Agent.
- 2Add search keywords in Setup, or paste specific profile links into People to get started right away.
- 3Set comment guidance and message guidance so notes and DMs sound like you, not a template.
- 4Set the intro-DM daily cap and the wait days before first DM and follow-up in Setup → Limits; comment and connect caps live on Safety Controls.
- 5Run Discover & connect once to see the flow on a real profile, then switch to the full daily loop.
Frequently asked questions
Campaigns work a list you import through a sequence you designed by hand. The Networking Agent discovers its own people from keyword searches, engages with their posts before ever sending a connection request, and writes DMs from what it actually observed rather than a fixed script. They run in separate Chrome profiles with separate budgets.
No. The connection note is intentionally no-pitch — a genuine reason to connect. The opening DM that follows days later leads with a specific observation and an open question, not an offer.
The active-people limit is set by your license plan, same as the queue-size caps on other agents. Comment and connection-request caps are set per LinkedIn account on Safety Controls; intro DMs have their own separate daily cap in Setup → Limits.
One softer follow-up DM goes out after the configured wait period. If there's still no reply, the person is retired from the active list rather than messaged again.
With it on, an LLM agent reads each reply thread and decides what to send next, aiming to book a call through your configured demo link, instead of the standard opening-DM-then-one-follow-up script. It's off by default and toggled per run or set as a Setup default.
Yes — the Test tab runs discover, connect, observe, message, reply-check, pending-check, or Book demo against one profile link at a time, without touching your real queue or the daily caps.
Yes — the Networking Agent runs in the same LinkedIn Chrome profile as the Comment Agent and draws from the same comment budget. When that budget is used up, discovery still observes and connects, it just stops engaging posts first until the connect limit is also hit.
