LinkedLens is a Chrome extension designed to enhance your LinkedIn browsing experience by automatically categorizing and tagging posts as you scroll through your feed. It helps you identify different types of content at a glance, making your LinkedIn experience more organized and efficient.

The extension uses AI to analyze LinkedIn posts and categorize them based on your custom-defined categories. You can choose from three different AI backends: Ollama (local, free, and private), OpenAI API, or Google's Gemini API. This flexibility allows you to use the solution that best fits your privacy and performance requirements.

Motivation

Why did I build this? LinkedIn can be incredibly useful for professional networking and staying updated with industry trends, but the feed often gets cluttered with different types of content - some valuable, some not so much. I wanted a way to quickly identify the type of content I'm looking at without having to read through every post. LinkedLens solves this by providing instant visual categorization, making LinkedIn browsing more efficient and enjoyable.

Key Features

• Automatic Post Categorization: AI-powered analysis of LinkedIn posts with colored tags
• Multiple LLM Backends: Support for Ollama (local), OpenAI API, and Gemini API
• Custom Categories: Define your own categories and descriptions for personalized filtering
• Real-time Tagging: Posts are tagged as you browse with colored indicators
• Privacy-First Option: Use Ollama for completely local processing
• Easy Installation: Simple Chrome extension setup

How It Works

Once installed and configured, LinkedLens runs in the background while you browse LinkedIn. It automatically analyzes each post using your chosen AI backend and applies colored tags to categorize content. You define the categories that matter to you - whether it's "Industry News," "Job Postings," "Thought Leadership," or "Spam" - and LinkedLens will help you quickly identify what type of content you're looking at.

The extension supports three AI backends to suit different needs:

• Ollama: Run everything locally on your machine for complete privacy and no API costs
• OpenAI API: Use GPT models for high-quality categorization
• Gemini API: Google's AI models as an alternative cloud-based option
