“Write a LinkedIn message to connect with someone”
Too vague—AI has to guess what you want
“Write a LinkedIn connection request message to a Head of Marketing at a D2C food brand. Context: we met briefly at a conference last week. Goal: connect without pitching. Tone: genuine and human, not networky. Max 300 chars (LinkedIn's limit). Reference something specific from our conversation: they mentioned expanding into the US market.”
Specific, clear, ready to use
What makes the strong prompt better?
Character limit matches LinkedIn's actual constraint so it's ready to use
Specific conference context makes it feel genuine not templated
Referencing the US expansion detail shows real listening, which gets replies
