Read how publishing worksWhat is Kleo?
Kleo started as a free Chrome extension that lived inside LinkedIn and grew past 70,000 users. In June 2025, LinkedIn required its removal, and the team rebuilt Kleo as a paid web app, now branded Kleo V3.
The current product is a writing workspace: a conversational AI that learns your expertise and writing style, plus a library of templates, hooks and post examples. Three more pieces complete it: a swipe file fed by a Chrome extension that saves content from around the web, a monthly quota of generated visuals, and one-click scheduling to LinkedIn.
Around the software sits the part that makes Kleo different: weekly live coaching calls with the team and a private creator community, both included in the subscription.
How does Kleo work?
Teach Kleo your voice
You start by giving Kleo your context: expertise, audience, products, goals and previous posts. The AI keeps learning from each post you write with it, so the drafts move closer to how you actually write.
Draft from a chat, a template or a swipe
Posts come out of a conversation with the AI, from one of the templates and hook frameworks, or from a post you saved to your swipe file. The Chrome extension now exists for that saving job only: it captures content from the web and does not act inside LinkedIn.
Format, schedule, publish
Drafts get previewed and formatted in the app, then scheduled or published to LinkedIn in one click. Kleo states that it performs no other action on your LinkedIn account, and its FAQ says it uses LinkedIn's official API where appropriate.
Join Kleo's weekly coaching calls
The subscription includes weekly live coaching sessions and a private community; the annual option adds a private kickoff call. Kleo sells the calls and the community as part of the product, and the app is the workspace that comes with them.
What sets MagicPost apart from Kleo
Kleo is a writing app with a coaching layer on top. MagicPost is built to carry a LinkedIn presence end to end, and it runs on LinkedIn's official API as a verified application.
Built on LinkedIn's official API, as a verified application
See how it worksKleo learned the cost of living inside LinkedIn: its original extension was removed at LinkedIn's request, and the rebuilt app shipped a few months later. Its FAQ now says it uses the official API where appropriate.
MagicPost is a LinkedIn-verified application. Publishing, scheduled comments and metrics all go through the official API, with no extension and no session cookie. @mentions in a scheduled post go out as real tags, subject to the person's privacy settings.
Analytics you can act on: benchmarks and audience
See how it worksKleo's feature list stops at "performance insights". MagicPost measures each post against LinkedIn market benchmarks, shows who your audience is (countries, job fields, cities) and what your best posts have in common: theme, hook, format, day and time.
The metrics of any creator's profile are one search away, and reports export with your logo and colors for a client or a manager.
MagicPost keeps working after the post goes out
See how it worksKleo stops at publishing, by design: it does not act on your account. MagicPost keeps going afterwards. A curated feed and AI suggestions help you comment on other people's posts, scheduled comments go out on time, and replies to your own posts are handled from the same screen.
The people who react are detected as leads, scored against your ideal customer profile and exportable to CSV or your CRM. And you can try all of it on your own account before paying, with no card. Kleo offers no trial, only a refund window.

- Its Chrome extension clips posts and articles from anywhere on the web into a swipe file you draft from later. MagicPost's inspiration library is searchable, but it does not save what you read.
