Write a new post

Compose a LinkedIn post from scratch — with AI on tap for topics, rewrites, and quick fixes.

Write New Post is the blank-canvas option in the Post Generator. You get a rich-text editor on the left, a live LinkedIn preview on the right, and the AI Assistant sitting under the editor for whenever you want help — generate from a topic, rephrase a line, fix grammar, expand a paragraph, or anything else you can describe in a sentence.

Open the writer

In the left sidebar, go to Post Generator › New Post and click Write New Post on the templates gallery.

You land on the Write Post page with an empty editor, an empty preview, and the AI Assistant panel ready below.

Generate from a topic with /

The fastest way to a first draft is the slash command.

1. Click into the empty editor

   The placeholder reads Press / to get AI suggestions or start typing to create your post…

2. Press /

   A small input box opens with the prompt What topic should I write about?

   
3. Type a topic, description, or angle

   Anything from a one-liner (Local SEO tips for restaurants) to a longer brief (A post about why review velocity matters more than review count for local rankings, with one specific example).

4. Press ↵

   Carousify generates a full post into the editor. Edit any line directly — AI output is a starting point, not a final draft.

The more specific the prompt, the closer the draft lands to what you want. “Write about local SEO” gets you a generic post. “Why review velocity matters more than review count, with one example from a multi-location restaurant” gets you something usable.

Write manually

If you’d rather draft yourself, just start typing. The formatting toolbar above the editor handles the basics:

• Bold, Italic, Underline, Strikethrough
• Insert Emoji
• Add Image, Add Video, Add Carousel — single-image, video, or attach a carousel deck you’ve already built. The image picker also has an AI tab — generate an image from a prompt instead of uploading one. See AI Image Generator.

For LinkedIn-specific formatting tricks (bullet styles, line breaks, special characters) see Formatting and preview.

The bottom of the editor shows a live character and word counter — LinkedIn allows up to 3,000 characters per post.

The AI Assistant panel

The AI Assistant sits under the editor at all times. It runs whether the editor is empty, half-written, or finished — pick a quick action, write a custom instruction, or select text first to scope AI to just that part.

Action	What it does
Rephrase	Rewrites the selection (or full post) keeping the meaning.
Improve Writing	Tightens the prose — clarity, flow, word choice.
Fix Grammar	Fixes punctuation, tense, and grammar issues only.
Make Shorter	Cuts length while keeping the point.
Make Longer	Expands with context, examples, or a stronger hook.
Generate Hashtags	Suggests hashtags based on the post body and appends them.

Free-form prompt

Below the buttons, Describe what else you want to do… is a text input for anything outside the six presets. Type the instruction and press ↵:

• Rewrite as a personal story instead of an opinion piece
• Turn this into a question to my audience
• Add a one-line hook at the top
• Translate to Hindi and keep the tone

Scope AI to a selection

Select a sentence or paragraph in the editor before clicking an AI button (or running a free-form prompt), and AI acts only on that selection — the rest of the post stays untouched. The panel shows a hint: Tip: Select text to apply AI to just that part.

This is the cleanest way to fix one weak line without AI rewriting the whole post.

Live LinkedIn preview

The right pane is a Post Preview — exactly how the post will render on LinkedIn, including line breaks, bold styles (LinkedIn renders these as Unicode lookalikes, not real bold), and any media you’ve attached.

The Devices toggle at the top of the preview switches between:

• Mobile — what most LinkedIn users will see
• Tablet
• Desktop

Always check the Mobile preview before publishing. Most LinkedIn traffic is on phones, and a post that looks great on desktop can break mid-hook on a small screen if line breaks land badly.

Analyzer

The Analyzer button in the top-right runs the current draft through an AI scoring pass and returns an Overall Score plus suggestions across nine dimensions.

What it checks:

• Call To Action — is there a question, prompt, or ask?
• Completeness — does the post stand on its own, or feel like a fragment?
• In-Depth Knowledge — is there signal beyond a generic statement?
• Word Length — is the post long enough to land, short enough to read?
• Clarity and Connectivity — does it flow from sentence to sentence?
• Grammatical Accuracy — punctuation, tense, sentence structure
• Authenticity — does it sound personal, or could it have been written by anyone?
• Readability — sentence rhythm and pacing
• Media Attached — is there an image, video, or carousel to back it up?

Each dimension gets a one-paragraph suggestion you can act on. Treat the score as a sanity check — not a target to game.

Save Draft and Publish

Bottom-right of the editor:

• Save Draft — keeps the post in Post Generator › Drafts for later. You can come back, run AI on it, and publish whenever. Drafts auto-save on every keystroke, so you’ll never lose work to a closed tab.
• Publish — opens the Publish Post dialog where you can post immediately, schedule it for a future date and time, or attach an auto-plug follow-up comment.

What’s next
