Scored by a Toolio reviewer after real useOur verdict
LinkedIn Buddy saves profiles you visit, drafts personalized connection messages through OpenAI, and lets you keep notes on each contact, all stored locally rather than on a remote server. Generating messages requires your own OpenAI API key configured in settings first. It's a small, single-developer extension with just seven ratings so far, all five stars.
