How to use DuckyHelper in LinkedIn
LinkedIn fills up with messages that bury the details and posts you never find time to write. Ask about the message on your screen and DuckyHelper pulls out the role and the catch, and circles them. You can also hand it the post, a list of people to look at, or drafted replies (Early access), and it's built to ask before anything is sent or posted.

“What is this recruiter actually offering, and is it remote?”

- 02Ask out loud. DuckyHelper reads the message, including any pay and place it mentions.
- 03It underlines the role and rings the line about where the work happens.
- 04It says it plainly, and tells you what the message leaves out, such as the team or the next step.
You getWhat the role is and where you would work, without reading between the lines.

Questions about LinkedIn.
Do I need to connect my LinkedIn account?
No. There is nothing to connect. It reads what is on your screen while the pill is open. Jobs (Early access) use LinkedIn in your browser, signed in as you, and it's built not to type your passwords or card numbers.
Can it message people for me?
Yes, and it's built to ask first: every message and every post shows with Send or Post, Edit and Deny first. It may not recognize every send or payment, so keep an eye on tasks that involve messages or money.
Does it scrape LinkedIn or message people in bulk?
No. It does what you would do by hand, one search or page at a time, and respects the limits LinkedIn sets.
Does it work in the LinkedIn phone app?
No. DuckyHelper is an app for Mac, Windows and Linux, so it works with LinkedIn in a computer's browser.
