LinkedIn is actively pilot-testing the incorporation of Microsoft Designer, a new feature for crafting visually appealing posts directly on the platform.
Since its establishment in 2002, LinkedIn has emerged as a hub for career growth and networking. The platform is a go-to for professionals sharing achievements, discussing sector trends, and marketing themselves to prospective recruiters.
However, standing out on LinkedIn can be challenging due to the sheer volume of daily posts. To truly capture attention, users need to elevate their content. With the help of AI, there’s now a novel approach.
Rivaling Canva, Microsoft Designer is an AI-assisted graphic design web tool designed to facilitate the creation of personalized visuals for posts, graphics, and beyond, all through text-driven instructions. It’s adept at formulating entirely new concepts or tailoring suggestions to your original ideas.
Leaks from various X users (formerly Twitter users) indicate that LinkedIn is experimenting with the seamless addition of Microsoft Designer. This integration means users will be able to craft customized content directly within LinkedIn’s ecosystem.
With the help of generative AI from Microsoft Designer, users are empowered to craft brand-centric designs by simply providing descriptive prompts. Imagine replacing a bland text-based job availability post with a vibrant and eye-catching graphic to magnetize potential employers.
Text-heavy LinkedIn updates have swamped users of late. The potential diversification through Microsoft Designer’s integration could revitalize the platform’s appeal and interactivity. Naturally, we might soon be debating over the influx of overly simplistic graphic designs, but that’s a conversation for the future.
Currently, LinkedIn’s embrace of Microsoft Designer is in a selective beta phase. Depending on the success of this trial, the full-scale launch of this innovative tool could be anticipated towards the end of 2023.
