Reach simulates your personal LinkedIn audience. Use it to write, test, and improve your content before posting. Simulations used to be sci-fi, now they’re for everyone.
Hello Product Hunters, I’m James, co-founder of Artificial Societies! 👋
I couldn’t be more excited to bring you Reach, an AI simulation of your actual LinkedIn audience - yes, your very own LinkedIn!
What’s the story?
At Artificial Societies, we found ourselves posting a lot on LinkedIn, trying to hack the formula for successful content. So we built Reach to help us, and both my co-founder Patrick and I doubled our LinkedIn followers in 6 weeks.
That’s when our friends and YC batch mates started asking for it, so we’ve decided to make it available to everyone.
What makes Reach unique?
Reach isn’t a writing assistant. It lets you take your authentic thoughts and opinions and test them before you post. Not only does this help you write content that your followers engage with, it takes away the risk of your posts falling totally flat and getting ignored - if you know, you know. 🤦♂️
Because Reach simulates exactly what happens on LinkedIn, it understands exactly how your LinkedIn audience will respond to your posts. This is how we are able to predict how your post will perform 2x as accurate as predictions made by ChatGPT.
The really crazy part is that, when you test a post, we spin up 100 variants using your tone of voice and everything else we know about you, and automatically test these alongside your original. You can take the best ideas, incorporate them, and keep iterating until you get it right.
@james_k_he@masump every audience is made bespoke to the user based on who interacts with their posts. We’ve baked in a whole bunch of the LinkedIn algorithm’s features into the design of the simulation and we’ll continue to evolve it over time
@james_k_he Woah this is so cool! I was recently looking for A/B testing tools for posts on Linkedin and X, this can totally deliver the value I wanted. Will try it out.
@andrew_white_13 absolutely, ads / comms / products are all in scope for the future. Let us know if you have something specific in mind

@patrick_sharpe i was more thinking about linkedin ads. a/b testing there is always super expensive. even getting the right creative takes time and lots of ad spent.
@konrad_sx thanks Konrad, we analyse your own LinkedIn profile as well as your activity (who you engage with and who engages with you in return). This allows us to build both the individual personas and the network. So, you're exactly right, we look at your activity and the activity of those in your audience
Your journey with Reach sounds both innovative and practical, particularly in addressing the challenge of generating engaging LinkedIn content. It's fascinating how you've leveraged AI to simulate real audience interactions, effectively iterating content creation to boost engagement. The ability to test varied content versions using personal tone is a powerful tool for personalization and strategy.
Congrats on the launch! Best wishes and sending lots of wins :) @james_k_he
@james_k_he@masump Hi Guys, the product looks promising! However, when i went to have a go at the LinkedIn community, a message pop up "We can only build your audience if you have posted to LinkedIn at least 3 times. If you believe this is in error, please contact us at support@societies.io" - which isn't the case.

That sounds quite fascinating!
Could you explain how it knows how to simulate the audience? Does it analyze the activity of my followers?

@ohansemmanuel honestly, scarily accurate. best way to prove it is just by writing a post and seeing how close the prediction is to reality

This is awesome. I just signed up. Cannot wait to give this a try. Are you considering X as well?

@owenoktay absolutely - started with LinkedIn but other socials are on the roadmap
