The author tried using OpenAI's Agent Mode to send LinkedIn connect invites through browser automation and shared a video of the attempt.
Done withChatGPT Agent
- What they did
- The author tested OpenAI Agent Mode by having it open a browser, access LinkedIn after the author handled the login, and attempt to send connection invites through browser automation. In the post and comments, they say the agent could navigate the site and other web apps, but invite-sending still required manual approval from the person, and they shared a Loom video of that attempt in the thread.
- How it went
- It worked only partially: the author called the LinkedIn invite automation a limited success and said it was not efficient enough for now. They also said an account ban seemed possible, although it had not happened to them yet.
- Worth knowing
- Main catch: you must log in yourself and stay available to approve actions like LinkedIn connection requests.
Try it yourself with ChatGPT Agent
Using my logged-in LinkedIn in the browser, find people who match [job titles, industry, location] and prepare connection invites with this note: [short personalized message]. Before sending anything, show me the first [5] profiles and the exact message and wait for my approval. After I approve, send up to [number] invites at a human pace and stop, then give me a list of who you contacted.
