Try: "Find the CEO of Stripe" or "Search for investors at Andreessen Horowitz"

Look up a profile

Get a full profile for any person or company from a LinkedIn URL, Twitter URL, or website. Includes work history, education, recent news, and key highlights.

Try: "Tell me about linkedin.com/in/elonmusk" or "What do you know about Figma?"

Look up multiple people at once

Get a quick overview of up to 10 people or companies in a single request.

Try: "Give me a snapshot of these three founders: [URLs]"

Who is this person? (from an email address)

Resolve an email address to a LinkedIn profile. Great for identifying contacts before a call or email.

Try: "Who is [email protected]?"

Who am I meeting with today?

Pull your upcoming calendar and see attendee details. Claude can then automatically look up everyone's background so you walk in prepared.

Try: "Prep me for my next meeting" — Claude will list attendees and pull their profiles automatically.
