For all the individuals and creators who spend a significant amount of time thinking about and crafting their LinkedIn posts (myself included), we know how valuable AI tools can be to streamline this process.
In recent years, numerous tools have emerged to help content creators make their LinkedIn post writing more efficient.
And one standout tool that entered the market last year is RedactAi.
Let’s take a closer look at how this innovative tool can save you time and effort, allowing you to focus on what truly matters: engaging with your audience and building your LinkedIn presence.
TL;DR RedactAi simplifies LinkedIn content creation with its focus on generating content and brainstorming ideas. However, it lacks features such as content scheduling, analytics, and in-app editing capabilities.
What is RedactAi?
RedactAi is a tool designed to help content creators craft LinkedIn posts with ease. It streamlines the writing process, making content creation faster and simpler.I've used similar tools like MagicPost and Taplio, but I wanted to see what makes RedactAi stand out.
I tested RedactAi, exploring its features and pricing, and now I'm excited to share my experience.
Read on for an overview of RedactAi's performance and how tools like this can be transformative for content creators.
The Pros and Cons
Here are the pros and cons I discovered:
✅ RedactAi Pros:
Customizable writing styles, including creating your own or using others.
Idea generation support for writer's block.
Three different results to choose from.
7-day trial without needing credit card details.
❌ RedactAI Cons:
No in-platform editing or content modification.
No post sharing or scheduling features.
Pricing starts at €15.80 for 8 posts/month, which is high.
Lacks intuitive usability.
RedactAi Features
RedactAI focuses on two essential functions to streamline your LinkedIn content creation: content generation and post idea discovery.
Now, let's delve into each one of them in more detail.
Create a post
One of the standout features of this platform is its promise to streamline LinkedIn content creation, saving you valuable time. Whether you're drafting a quick update or crafting a detailed article, RedactAI aims to simplify the process and boost productivity. Let's explore how it works!
The steps for its AI to develop your content are straightforward, although initially, I found it challenging to figure out what additional details were needed to make the generator function properly. RedactAI asks you to specify the exact topic you want to discuss.
Unlike other tools that typically prompt you to enter a broad topic or keyword, leaving much of the content's specifics up to the Ai, RedactAI allows for more refinement, you can input not only the main topic, but also provide detailed bullet points to guide the content generation process.
Before launching the generator, you can choose from a variety of tones of voice offered by RedactAI, ranging from informal to authoritative, or the commonly used sales style.
Alternatively, you can select a content creator whose style resonates with you, replicate a successful post they've written, and let the AI generate a post on your chosen topic, adhering to the creator's guidelines and style.
This last option is particularly beneficial for beginners who are still exploring their preferred writing style. However, I advise evaluating what style and tone works best for you and your audience as you develop your content strategy.
Putting RedactAI to the Test
In my experience, I tested RedactAI by requesting content generation on the topic "how to start writing LinkedIn posts for beginners." .
It provided me with three options, but unlike other platforms like MagicPost, you cannot regenerate or directly modify them within the app. Instead, you have to copy and paste them into your LinkedIn account.
While the style is somewhat informal, the message remains clear, effectively establishing the three key points of this article.
However, I find it limiting that you can't edit the generated content directly in the app or schedule posts, features which are available in other tools like MagicPost.
Find an Idea
Like many people aiming to maintain a consistent posting schedule, there inevitably comes a point where ideas run dry 🤷♀️.
This is where features such as “find an idea” are very handy. Making the process of generating and jotting down ideas quick and effortless, all within seconds.
Their idea generator is quite similar to other AI tools, allowing you to define a topic and the language you want to develop it in. It then generates three distinct options.
From these three ideas, you can decide to develop them further or transform them into posts.
In my case, I tested it by choosing the theme “how to write a newsletter” and these were the options I obtained:
Bonus tip: And if you're looking for more ideas on what to post on LinkedIn, exploring blogs can be incredibly helpful and can guide you in creating engaging content for your LinkedIn audience.
Summing Up RedactAI
For all the individuals and creators who invest time in crafting impactful LinkedIn posts, leveraging AI tools can significantly enhance productivity.
RedactAI offers potential benefits for small content creators aiming to refine their LinkedIn writing or save valuable time.
However, I believe there are areas where the platform could enhance its intuitiveness and expand its features, such as scheduling posts and providing comprehensive metrics.
When using AI to assist in content creation, our goal remains consistent: to deliver value and quality while maintaining our unique voice. Finding the right AI tool, like RedactAI, that aligns with your needs and yields effective results is key.
