How the inspirations feed works
Instead of scrolling LinkedIn at random hoping to stumble on a good idea, you open a curated feed of viral posts. The base is calibrated on 1 million analyzed LinkedIn posts, which gives you a broad sample of what actually performs, not just what your personal feed pushes at you.
The point isn't to copy-paste: it's to study the winning patterns (hooks, structures, formats) and then write in your own voice. An inspiration is a starting point, not a finished post.
Filters to target your niche
You filter by format (storytelling, list, opinion, carousel), by author, by date, by engagement level, by language and by virality rules. You stop settling for a generic feed: you go find precisely the posts that look like what you want to publish.
Each post's metrics
Every inspiration shows its metrics (likes, comments, engagement level) and the pattern analysis explaining why it broke through. You don't just find a viral post: you understand what made it viral.
Collections for your idea bank
When an inspiration resonates, you save it into a collection. You build your own bank of posts that work, organized by theme or format, to dip into whenever the blank page is staring back at you.
From an inspiration to a scored post in 1 click
Finding a good idea is useless if you lose it between the inspiration tab and your editor. With LinkPost, you send an inspiration to the generator in 1 click: it returns 25 variants built on different angles, calibrated on 1 million analyzed LinkedIn posts and personalized via 27 factors learned from your style.
Each variant gets a virality score from the algorithm (33 criteria, 300+ factors) before you publish. So you go from a post that works for someone else to a post calibrated for you, without starting from scratch and without copying anyone.
Inspirations vs Spy mode: what each is for
Both tools serve discovery, but differently. Inspirations are a broad, curated feed: many creators, many formats, with filters to explore what's working right now across your wider niche.
Spy mode does the opposite: it monitors a single creator continuously (profitable topics, controversy level, best days, viral tactics). You use Inspirations to open up angles, and Spy mode to dissect one specific competitor. The two complement each other.
An inspiration is still a starting point
Let's be honest: no inspirations feed will publish for you or guarantee a viral post. What you find there are patterns that correlate with engagement, not a magic recipe. Performance also depends on your audience, timing and current events.
There's no free trial of the full product: the Post Analyzer is the free tool to test the scoring logic, and LinkPost is the next step when you want to explore, save, generate and measure over time.
Inspirations vs Spy mode vs manual scrolling
| Criterion | Manual scroll / Spy mode | LinkPost |
|---|---|---|
| Scope | A personal feed or a single profile | Curated feed of many viral posts |
| Filters | None or very limited | Format, author, date, engagement, language, viral rules |
| Saving | Scattered screenshots | Collections organized by theme |
| Understanding | You guess why it works | Metrics + pattern analysis per post |
| Taking action | Manual copy-paste | 1 click to 25 scored variants |
You stop hunting for inspiration at random: you filter what actually works, save it, and turn it into a scored post in your own voice.
