8 Viral Grok prompts every professional should use to improve their LinkedIn, explains expert

unreal intelligence service is more and more defining how professionals pose themselves online, and a recent post by AI expert and X user Chindanand Tripathi highlights how this shift is playing out on LinkedIn. In his post published on Saturday, Tripathi shared a set of practical prompts that users can apply directly within Grok to refine their profiles, messaging, and personal branding.

Rather than offering generic advice, the prompts are structured to guide users through specific improvements, from rewriting headlines to strengthening recommendations. Each prompt places the user in control while using AI as a supporting tool.

1. Writing a Stronger Headline

Tripathi suggests beginning with clarity at the top of the profile. His prompt reads:
“Act as a Personal Branding Specialist. Create 3 compelling LinkedIn headline options for a [your role] in [industry], focused on attracting [ideal audience, e.g., recruiters, clients, collaborators].”

The aim is to help users quickly communicate value and relevance within LinkedIn’s limited headline space.

2. Creating a More Engaging ‘About’ Section

To refine the summary section, he recommends:
“Act as a Professional Profile Copywriter. Write an ‘About’ section that highlights my strengths, career journey, and personality. Tailor it for someone with experience in [field] and goals related to [insert objective].”

This prompt encourages a balance between professionalism and personal narrative.

3. Improving Work Experience Entries

For users whose experience sections read like standard CVs, Tripathi suggests the following:
“Act as a Resume-to-LinkedIn Optimizer. Rewrite my work experience at [Company Name] as a LinkedIn entry. Focus on achievements, impact, and metrics, written in a conversational yet professional tone.”

The goal is to shift from listing responsibilities to showing measurable value.

4. Writing Better Connection Messages

Networking is another area where many users struggle. To address this, the prompt states:
“Act as a Networking Coach. Write a message I can send when connecting with someone new in [industry/role]. Keep it friendly, respectful, and personalized—without sounding like a pitch.”

This helps users initiate conversations more naturally and professionally.

5. Developing Content Ideas

To support consistent posting, Tripathi includes:
“Act as a Content Marketing Strategist. Suggest 5 post ideas that showcase my expertise in [field], spark conversation, and align with my professional brand. Include hooks and content formats.”

This helps users maintain visibility while reinforcing their expertise.

6. Making Profiles More Recruiter-Friendly

Another prompt focuses on visibility in recruiter searches:
“Act as a LinkedIn Recruiter Whisperer. Suggest changes to my profile summary, headline, and skills section that would make me stand out to recruiters hiring for [job type or industry].”

It aims to align profiles with how recruiters actually search and filter candidates.

7. Encouraging Endorsements and Recommendations

To strengthen credibility, Tripathi advises:
“Act as a Social Proof Strategist. Suggest ways I can naturally ask for (and receive) endorsements or recommendations from colleagues, clients, or peers on LinkedIn. Include message templates if possible.”

This helps users gather social proof without sounding forced.

8. Auditing the Entire Profile

Finally, he recommends a full review using this prompt:
“Act as a LinkedIn Profile Auditor. Review this LinkedIn profile summary: [insert text or bullet points], and provide feedback to improve clarity, tone, keyword use, and impact.”

This allows users to refine their profile holistically with targeted feedback.
