LinkedIn Post

Engaging posts with hooks, structure, and calls-to-action

Best for: Thought leadership posts and professional insights

You say:

"I want to share something I learned from a hiring mistake I made, basically I hired for skills over culture fit and it backfired, the person was technically great but didn't mesh with the team, lesson learned is that skills can be taught but values alignment is harder to change, now I always prioritize culture fit first"

Contextli outputs:

I made a hiring mistake that taught me everything.

I hired for skills over culture fit.

The candidate was technically brilliant:
→ Perfect resume
→ Aced the technical interview
→ Great references

But 3 months in, it wasn't working.

The problem? Values misalignment.

Here's what I learned:

Skills can be taught.
Culture fit can't.

Now I always ask:
"Would I want to work with this person daily?"

That question has never steered me wrong.

Engaging Comment

Thoughtful comments that add value and visibility

Best for: Building visibility through thoughtful engagement

You say:

"Great point about async communication, I've found that it works best when you also have clear documentation and a single source of truth otherwise things get lost, we use Notion for this at my company"

Contextli outputs:

Great insight on async communication.

One thing I'd add: it only works with clear documentation.

Without a single source of truth, important context gets lost in message threads.

At my company, we use Notion as our async backbone. Game changer.

What tools do you use to support async work?

Connection Message

Personalized connection requests that get accepted

Best for: Networking and expanding connections

You say:

"Connecting with someone I met at a conference, we talked about product led growth and I thought their take was interesting, want to stay in touch"

Contextli outputs:

Hi [Name],

Great meeting you at [Conference]! Really enjoyed our conversation about product-led growth—your perspective on freemium conversion was insightful.

Would love to stay connected and continue the discussion.

Story Post

Personal stories with professional lessons

Best for: Personal brand building and storytelling

You say:

"I want to share about how I got rejected from my dream job 5 years ago and how it was actually the best thing that happened because it forced me to start my own company which ended up being way more fulfilling"

Contextli outputs:

5 years ago I got rejected from my dream job.

I was devastated.

"How could they not see my potential?"

I spent a week questioning everything.

Then something shifted.

That rejection forced me to ask:
"What do I actually want?"

The answer surprised me.

I didn't want that job.
I wanted to build something of my own.

6 months later, I started my company.

Best decision I ever made.

The lesson?

Rejection isn't redirection.
It's information.

Pay attention to it.

How to Use Contextli in LinkedIn

Step-by-step workflows for common LinkedIn tasks.

  4. 4

    Review and schedule

    Polish if needed, add hashtags, post or schedule

Example Output:

Had a customer call that changed how I think about onboarding.

They said something unexpected:

"I didn't need more features.
I needed to understand the ones you have."

This hit hard.

We'd been building, building, building.

What they needed was clarity.

Voice to LinkedIn: Real Examples

What you say versus what Contextli produces for LinkedIn.

Sharing a professional lesson
micYou Say

"I used to think working more hours meant more success but I burned out after my first startup and realized that sustainable pace is actually more productive in the long run, now I strictly protect my evenings and weekends and my work quality has actually improved"

auto_awesomeContextli Outputs
I used to believe more hours = more success.

Then I burned out.

My first startup nearly broke me. 80-hour weeks. No boundaries. "Hustle culture."

The result? Diminishing returns and exhaustion.

Here's what changed:

I started protecting my time ruthlessly.
→ Evenings off
→ Weekends sacred
→ Strict boundaries

The surprising part?

My output improved.

Turns out, a rested mind is a productive mind.

Sustainable pace > burnout heroics.

Every time.

#productivity #burnout #worklifebalance

micYou Say

"Totally agree, I've seen this exact pattern with remote teams, the key is over communicating not under communicating, and having async-first documentation"

auto_awesomeContextli Outputs
This is spot on.

I've seen the same pattern with remote teams.

The key insight: over-communicate, don't under-communicate.

And make async-first documentation non-negotiable.

When in doubt, write it down. Your future self (and teammates) will thank you.

Post generators create content from prompts. Contextli transforms YOUR spoken ideas into formatted posts—keeping your authentic voice while saving time.

Why Use Contextli for LinkedIn?

LinkedIn has specific content conventions: engaging hooks, scannable formatting, professional-yet-personal tone. Raw dictation misses these nuances. Contextli's LinkedIn modes structure your posts with attention-grabbing openers, clear line breaks for readability, and appropriate hashtags—maximizing engagement without extra editing.

LinkedIn + Contextli: Common Questions

Will my posts sound like everyone else's?

Contextli formats YOUR ideas—it doesn't generate content. The thoughts, stories, and insights are yours. Contextli just structures them for LinkedIn's format (hooks, line breaks, CTAs). Your voice stays authentic.

How do I add hashtags via voice?

You can say "hashtag leadership" and Contextli will format it as #leadership. Or speak your post and add hashtags at the end manually. The LinkedIn Post mode often suggests relevant hashtags based on your content.

Can I schedule posts after dictating?

Contextli inserts the formatted text—scheduling is done through LinkedIn's native scheduler or third-party tools like Buffer or Hootsuite. A common workflow: dictate with Contextli, then schedule using your preferred tool.

Does Contextli help with LinkedIn articles?

Yes! While the modes are optimized for posts, they work in LinkedIn's article editor too. For longer articles, you might dictate section by section using the LinkedIn Post mode for each, then arrange them in the article.

How do I maintain my writing style?

Create a custom mode with examples of your writing style. For instance, if you always end posts with a question, include that in your mode's instructions. Contextli will learn to match your patterns.
