RedactAI Main Features

RedactAI Onboarding Process

The first thing you’ll encounter when logging into RedactAI is its comprehensive onboarding process.

This is designed to help the platform get to know your personal content style.

It’s thorough, perhaps a bit lengthy, and completing it fully can take around 30 minutes.

However, that time investment is definitely worth it.

The goal here is to train the AI to understand your tone, preferences, and overall approach to content creation.

As a result, post suggestions in the future will feel more in sync with your voice and style, leading to more relevant content.

Once the onboarding is finished, RedactAI will automatically suggest post drafts it thinks are aligned with your style.

In my case, the suggestions were surprisingly accurate.

The real question, though, is whether these suggestions will actually work as high-performing LinkedIn posts, but we’ll dive into that more in the post creation section.

Model Your Content After a Creator

One of the most notable features is the option to align your writing style with that of an established LinkedIn creator.

RedactAI gives you three options:

1. Choose from a curated list of established content styles.

2. Upload your own content to model after.

3. Start from scratch and let RedactAI evolve with your tone over time.

This is especially helpful if you're just starting to post on LinkedIn and don’t yet have a consistent voice.

Choosing a proven creator helps you fast-track the structure, hooks, and tone of LinkedIn posts, but still gives you room to make it your own.

A Lot of Hooks, But Are They Good?

RedactAI generates a lot of hooks for your posts, which is great for sparking ideas.

The majority of these hooks are pretty interesting, but here's the thing: they don't always align with the actual post idea.

Instead, many of them could be used in various situations, not necessarily tied to a specific topic.

What would be really useful here is having 3 to 6 hooks generated around the same topic.

That way, you can test multiple hooks per topic and quickly see which one drives the best results.

Putting RedactAI Generator To The Test

Now, let’s get to the main thing we’re all here for: can RedactAI generate posts that go viral on LinkedIn?

The content creation flow in RedactAI is fairly simple, but figuring out exactly what the AI needs to deliver strong results can be a bit unclear at first.

I gave it a detailed prompt, and it responded with a range of hooks to choose from.

While the variety was decent, most of them seemed to follow the same formula.

That’s where things fall short; the hooks often feel templated and miss the nuance of the original idea, which makes some of them feel slightly off.

Once you’ve picked a hook, RedactAI generates three different post drafts based on it.

Each version follows a typical LinkedIn-style format, clean, structured, and easy to read, which makes it simple to scan and evaluate.

It also shows you the word and character count for each post, and automatically saves your progress once it's generated.

Overall, the posts were solid, but they definitely lacked a personal touch.

For instance, the CTA didn’t quite align with my style; it felt a little too generic.

This is an area where more personalization could make a big difference, helping the post feel more authentic and less like a template-based draft.

Edit and Preview the Post

Once you’ve chosen one of the three suggested ideas, you can easily edit it to match your style.

You can also preview your LinkedIn post and see how it will appear on different devices, whether mobile, desktop, or tablet, giving you a clear view of the final result before hitting "post."

Additionally, you have the option to enrich your content by adding various media types, such as images, carousels, videos, and more.

This allows you to create visually engaging posts all in one place.

When it comes to formatting, the editor provides a variety of helpful tools.

You can easily incorporate bold, italic, bullet points, and other text enhancements to improve the post’s visual appeal and readability.

Find New Content Ideas

We’ve all been there, trying to stick to a consistent posting schedule, and suddenly, you hit a wall and run out of ideas.

That’s where the “Find an Idea” feature comes in handy. It makes generating and jotting down content ideas quick and easy, all in just a few seconds.

The idea generator works similarly to other AI tools. You simply define a topic, and it gives you three distinct options.

You can either take these three ideas and develop them further or turn them directly into posts.

For example, I tested it with the topic “how to write an SEO article” and these were the ideas I got:

The ideas were interesting, but I would have liked to see more variety around the same topic to give me a wider range of options.

While you can generate multiple ideas, the downside is that they can sometimes feel repetitive. More diversity in the suggestions would have made a big difference.

🎁 Bonus Tip: If you’re looking for even more content ideas for LinkedIn, diving into blogs can be super helpful. They offer a wealth of fresh inspiration to help you craft posts that resonate with your LinkedIn audience.

LinkedIn Content Calendar

Creating content is great, but being able to schedule it all in one place is even better.

One feature RedactAI offers is the Post Calendar, which gives you a clear view of what’s scheduled for the month, week, and day.

However, there’s a catch: you can only schedule content that you’ve generated using the post generator.

So, if you want to add something else to your calendar, like a post you created manually or elsewhere, you’d need to go through the generator again to create it.

It’s a useful feature if you’re looking for a one-stop shop to plan your LinkedIn posts, but it could use some more flexibility for users who want to integrate external content into their calendar.

Premium Features

Finally, RedactAI offers a couple of standout premium features that really caught my eye: finding inspiration from other creators’ posts and repurposing content.

Both of these features are included in the higher-tier paid plans, which means you’ll need to enter payment information to give them a try.

These features can be useful for content creators looking to get inspired or revamp old content for new posts.

But, just keep in mind that to access them, you’ll need to upgrade to one of the higher plans.
