LinkedLens is a simple LinkedIn browsing companion designed to enhance your LinkedIn experience by helping you categorize and tag posts as you browse.
You define the categories and describe them.
Once the extension is running, it will automatically categorize LinkedIn posts and place a colored tag in the top right corner of each post, showing which category it belongs to.
Note: LinkedLens is a Chrome extension.
LinkedIn can be useful, but I find some categories of posts really annoying and spammy, and thought of making my LinkedIn experience better. So I built this extension and decided to share it.
LinkedLens helps you categorize and tag LinkedIn posts as you browse. You can use three possible LLM backends:
- Ollama - Your local, 100% free, self-hosted solution
- OpenAI API - Using OpenAI's language models
- Gemini API - Using Google's Gemini language models
More features coming soon!
