User DNA
Teach LinkAssist AI your personal story, voice cadence, contrarian takes, credibility proof, and strict boundaries to generate authentic LinkedIn posts.
User DNA is the personalization brain of LinkAssist. While standard AI models produce generic, cliché-ridden LinkedIn content, User DNA anchors every generated post, hook, and strategy in your authentic lived experience, industry credentials, unique tone, and strict boundaries.
Just four quick sections are enough to make your AI write like you—never like a bot.
AI Readiness Score
At the top of User DNA, LinkAssist tracks your AI Readiness Score to evaluate how effectively the AI understands your personal brand.

1. You: Identity & Content Pillars
This section establishes your core identity and sets your content focus.
Fields to Configure
- About You: A concise 1-paragraph summary explaining what you do, who you help, your technical/domain expertise, and what you are actively building.
- Topics (Max 3): Narrow down your primary content pillars (e.g., Generative AI in real-world products, Web development at scale, Building AI SaaS). Fewer topics mean a sharper, more recognizable authority.
- Your Goal: The primary business outcome you want LinkedIn to drive (e.g., Inbound client leads, hiring top engineers, investor relations, personal brand authority).
- Post Types (Pick up to 2): The format you want to be known for (e.g.,
📖 Personal stories & experiences,🎓 Tips & how-tos,🔍 Teardowns & case studies).
2. Your Voice & Credibility Assets
The second layer defines how your posts sound and equips the AI with verifiable proof points to eliminate generic fluff.
A. Your Voice (Tone & Style)
- Tone: Automatically sets authority level and sentence rhythm (e.g., Insightful & professional, Bold & contrarian, Casual & conversational).
- Voice Nuances & Quirks: Detail your specific speaking habits, sentence pacing, emoji usage, favorite hooks, and formatting style (e.g., punchy hooks, digestible lists, candid industry opinions, and real-world experiments).
B. What Makes You Credible
Generic posts make claims; authoritative posts provide takes and proof.
| Credibility Pillar | Description & Examples |
|---|---|
| Your Takes (Contrarian Beliefs) | One-line opinions you strongly believe that others in your industry often debate. Example: "Most AI content online is shallow. Real edge comes from building, not prompting. AI SaaS winners will be distribution-first, not model-first." |
| Your Proof (Wins & Evidence) | Specific achievements, metrics, shipped products, or client milestones that back up your expertise. Example: "Built LinkAssist (AI LinkedIn growth platform), scaled app to 10k users, 1M+ impressions generated." |
3. Hard Boundaries & Visual Assets
Guardrails ensure the AI never misrepresents your brand, while reference photos power personalized AI media creation.
A. Never Do This (Hard Limits)
- Avoid Topics & Cliches: List buzzwords, corporate jargon, or overused tropes you never want in your posts (e.g., "thrilled to announce", "game-changer", "delve").
- Hard Rules: Absolute constraints the AI model must never violate (e.g., never criticize specific competitors by name, never use more than 2 emojis per post).
B. Images & Visual Identity
- Reference Photos (Up to 5): Upload professional headshots, casual work photos, or speaking snapshots. The AI leverages these to generate custom Media Studio avatars that match your real likeness.
- Visual Identity: Customize brand palettes, accent colors, and custom layout preferences.
