Something a lot of people want from LinkedIn is the ability to access their own data, connections, messages, and more, in their own systems. Unfortunately, LinkedIn has never made this possible and doesn’t seem to plan to. But we did, here is how to get set up:

Some useful use cases

Find leads in your network

Your next opportunities may already be in your LinkedIn network. Chances are, at least 10–20 people in your existing network already fit your ICP. The best part is that you can message them right now without having to send a connection request first, as they are already connected to you. Run this prompt to do so:

Using the TalkToHumans MCP and a tool like Parallel Search, you can prompt your favorite AI tool to find relevant leads for you every day:

Score leads by ICP score

One of the most used TalkToHumans features is tagging. It works well when you work through up-to-date conversations or contacts But sometimes, you want to backfill a lot of contacts or conversations, and it would be annoying to do manually You can use your favorite AI tool to do it for you:

Draft messages for your leads

Writing a good first message isn’t always easy. Sometimes, a little help from AI is useful to get past the blank page and give you ideas. TalkToHumans MCP lets your favorite AI tools draft messages for your leads, but you still have to review every message in the app before sending it.

Our take on AI usage

You might have seen that we don’t support certain actions like letting AI send messages or connection requests, and it’s completely on purpose: We believe AI is great at researching, analyzing, scoring, and organizing information. That’s why TalkToHumans lets you use it to find leads, score contacts, analyze performance, organize your data, and more. But when it comes to actually talking to people, we keep you in control. AI-written outreach is easy to recognize, rarely feels personal, and contributes to the growing amount of low-quality content on LinkedIn. LinkedIn itself is increasingly fighting this kind of behavior, and automating it can put your account reputation at risk. It’s one of the deliberate tradeoffs we make to keep TalkToHumans probably be the safest LinkedIn tool.
