AI keyboard for LinkedIn messages on Android

You can polish and correct LinkedIn messages today. Write the message however it comes out, tap polish, and FlickReply fixes the spelling, grammar and punctuation and returns 3 to 4 rewritten versions to pick from — that works in every Android app, LinkedIn included. What does not work in LinkedIn yet is the AI reply assistant, which drafts a reply from the conversation; that currently works in WhatsApp and Instagram and LinkedIn support is in development.

Reply drafting is not available here yet. Polish and correct works in LinkedIn today, like every other app. The AI reply assistant — which reads a conversation and drafts a reply from it — works in WhatsApp and Instagram today, and LinkedIn support is in development.

Why LinkedIn in particular

LinkedIn is the surface where people most often stall on the first sentence, because the stakes feel higher and the conventions are stricter. It is also the place where a message that reads as a template gets ignored, which is the trap most AI writing tools fall into — and the reason tone control matters more there than raw generation.

Three things reply drafting in LinkedIn is being built for

These describe reply drafting, which is not in LinkedIn yet — it works in WhatsApp and Instagram today. Polishing and correcting a message you have written already works here.

Replying to a recruiter without overthinking it

The intended workflow: write the honest answer in your own words — interested, not interested, interested but not now — and refine it into a professional tone. Faster than drafting diplomatically from scratch, and it sounds less like a template. This works in WhatsApp and Instagram today.

Connection notes that are not the default text

A short personal note has a much better acceptance rate than the blank default. Removing the friction that makes people skip it is the main thing LinkedIn support is being built for.

Commenting without a blank-field pause

Drafting a comment from the post you are replying to, then editing it so it carries your actual opinion. The draft is scaffolding, not the final text.

What it actually returns

Real messages, typed the way people actually type them, and the versions that come back.

Declining something without sounding blunt

What you typed

cant do friday, got too much on. maybe next week idk

What comes back
  1. Friday is not going to work for me — I have too much on. Could we look at some time next week instead?
  2. I can't manage Friday, unfortunately. Would next week be easier?
  3. Can't do Friday. Next week work?

The original is not rude, it just reads as though you could not be bothered. This is the most common reason people reach for polish.

Replying to a colleague you have left waiting

What you typed

hey sorry i didnt get bak to u yesterday was swamped, can we push the call to thurs? also i still need those numbers from ur team before we can finalise anythign

What comes back
  1. Apologies for the slow reply yesterday — it was a busy one. Could we move the call to Thursday? I also still need those figures from your team before we can finalise anything.
  2. Sorry for not getting back to you yesterday, things were hectic. Can we push the call to Thursday? I'll also need those numbers from your team before we can wrap this up.
  3. Sorry for the delay. Can we move the call to Thursday? Still waiting on your team for the numbers before we finalise.

Four spelling errors, two missing apostrophes and a run-on sentence, fixed in the same pass as the rewrite. The third version is what the short tone produces.

When it will not help

Worth knowing before you install rather than after.

It cannot know what you meant

If the original message is ambiguous, the rewrites will be confidently ambiguous in 3 to 4 different ways. Polish improves how a message reads, not whether the underlying thought was clear.

It will flatten a deliberate voice

If you write in a distinctive way on purpose — clipped, blunt, very informal — the rewrites will smooth that out. Some people polish everything; others only use it for work messages for exactly this reason.

It is not an as-you-type corrector

Nothing changes until you tap. If you want mistakes fixed silently while you write, that is autocorrect, and FlickReply does not replace it.

What already works in LinkedIn today

  • Polish and correct: fixes spelling, grammar and punctuation in a message you have written, with several rewritten versions to choose from
  • Works as a full Android keyboard in LinkedIn
  • Clipboard history for links and details you send repeatedly
  • Text editing and share tools in the keyboard panel
  • Resize, one-handed mode and floating keyboard
  • Privacy mode

Not in LinkedIn yet

  • AI reply assistant that drafts from a LinkedIn conversation
  • Re-toning a generated draft between professional, friendly and short

FlickReply is an Android input method, so the system hands it every text field on the device — the keyboard itself, the whole tools panel, and polishing a message you have written all work in LinkedIn, your browser, your notes app and anything you install next month. Only reply drafting is per-app, because it reads the conversation on screen, and that works in WhatsApp and Instagram today.

Setting it up takes about two minutes

  1. Install FlickReply from Google Play. It is free, and the AI allowance on the free tier is 10 requests a day.
  2. Enable it in Android keyboard settings. Android walks you through enabling a new input method and then selecting it — the prompt appears on first launch.
  3. Tap polish on anything you write. In LinkedIn that already corrects the spelling and grammar and gives you several rewritten versions, plus the full keyboard and tools panel. For a reply drafted from the conversation, open WhatsApp and InstagramLinkedIn will work the same way once support ships, with nothing to reinstall.
FAQ

LinkedIn and FlickReply: common questions

Partly, today. FlickReply can correct and rewrite a LinkedIn message you have written: tap polish and it fixes the spelling, grammar and punctuation and returns 3 to 4 rewritten versions. That works in every Android app. What it cannot do yet is read a LinkedIn conversation and draft a reply from it — reply drafting works in WhatsApp and Instagram and LinkedIn support is in development with no confirmed date.

There is no announced date. LinkedIn and Gmail are the next two apps planned for AI support. Rather than publish a date and miss it, we will say when it is close — the contact page is the fastest way to ask to be notified.

Once LinkedIn support ships, it will draft and re-tone messages one at a time in the field you are typing in — so it suits replying and personalising rather than bulk sending. There is no template library, no mail merge and no scheduling, and none are planned. Today the AI works in WhatsApp and Instagram, so for LinkedIn outreach specifically it is not yet the right tool.

LinkedIn has no way to see which keyboard you typed with — a keyboard delivers text to the field exactly as manual typing does. What people can notice is a message that reads as generic, which is a writing problem rather than a detection one. Editing the draft so it carries something specific to the person you are messaging is what makes the difference.
