LinkGenie is a lightweight, privacy-focused Chrome Extension that drafts context-aware replies inline directly inside your LinkedIn feed. Fully serverless—no tracking, no intermediate databases.
✅ Published on the Chrome Web Store · 🔓 Open Source · View source on GitHub ↗
Unlike other AI assistants, LinkGenie is completely serverless and fully open source under the MIT license — communicating directly with your LLM endpoints securely from your browser. No black boxes.
Your API Keys, configuration, and custom personas stay secure on your device. We use no intermediate servers, trackers, or databases.
LinkGenie crawls the parent LinkedIn post content to construct contextually relevant replies instead of repeating generic phrases.
Directly connect to Google Gemini, OpenAI GPT, or Anthropic Claude APIs using your own personal access tokens.
Add a custom description of your professional background, role, or preferred style to generate drafts that naturally sound like you.
The full extension source code is publicly available on GitHub. Inspect, audit, or contribute — no black boxes, ever.
Select a mock LinkedIn post and tone configuration to see how LinkGenie generates contextual draft responses in real-time.

Need help or have questions about LinkGenie? We are committed to providing a great user experience. Because LinkGenie is completely serverless and runs locally inside your browser, most issues are related to configuration or browser permissions.
For technical support, bug reports, feature requests, or developer questions, please open an issue directly on our repository to track bugs and requests:
A: Please make sure the extension is successfully loaded and enabled in chrome://extensions/.
If it is enabled and the button still doesn't appear, try hard refreshing the LinkedIn tab. LinkedIn updates
its UI structure occasionally, and we recommend checking for the latest LinkGenie release package to resolve
any structural issues.
A: Click the extension's icon in the browser toolbar or go to its options page. From there, select your
preferred provider (Gemini, OpenAI, or Claude), enter your API Key, and save. All keys are stored safely on
your own machine in chrome.storage.sync.
A: No. We do not run any backend servers and have zero tracking scripts. All data processing (such as extracting the post context) happens entirely in the extension's local service worker and is sent directly and securely via HTTPS to your selected AI provider's API endpoint.

We value your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how LinkGenie handles user data. By using the LinkGenie Chrome extension, you agree to the practices outlined below.
LinkGenie is designed as a serverless utility. We do not operate any backend servers and do not collect, monitor, or store your data on our own infrastructure.
All configurations, keys, and settings are stored locally on your device using the
chrome.storage.sync API. If you have Chrome sync enabled, these settings may sync across your
own authenticated devices via Google's official synchronization servers. We have no access to this data.
When you use LinkGenie, requests are sent directly to the AI provider you select in the settings. These third-party services have their own privacy policies governing how they handle input data:
We do not sell, rent, trade, or share any user data with third parties. Data is only sent to the specific AI provider API configured by you, solely to fulfill content generation requests.
You can view, update, or delete your API Keys and configurations at any time through the LinkGenie settings page. Uninstalling the extension will automatically purge all associated data from your browser's local storage.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding this Privacy Policy, please open an issue in the project repository: GitHub Issues.
