New evyAI Feature: Look Anyone Up on LinkedIn From Anywhere
If you network, sell, recruit, or create content on the internet, this is a game-changer.
Today, we’re rolling out a new evyAI feature that lets you highlight any name on any website—Facebook, email, Twitter/X, Skool, a news article, you name it—then look that person up on LinkedIn instantly. From there, you can save them to evyAI and deploy an AI research agent to pull insights in seconds.
Boom.
What it does (in 10 seconds)
Right-click a name → “Find this person on LinkedIn.”
No copy/paste. No tab juggling. Just results.
Prefer the keyboard? Select a name and press Alt + Shift + K (Option + Shift + K on Mac) to auto-search LinkedIn.
Save to evyAI from the side panel and tag them (e.g., Facebook Friend, Podcast Lead, Prospect).
Launch AI Research to get a fast brief: role, company, public links, conversation starters, and strategic context.
Why this matters
Most opportunities are born in the flow—inside a Facebook thread, a comment on X, a community post, or an email CC. Until now, turning that spark into action meant breaking your rhythm: copying a name, opening LinkedIn, searching, saving, organizing… then maybe researching later.
Now you can do the whole loop—find → save → segment → research—without leaving the page you’re on.
How it works (step-by-step)
Highlight any name on any website.
Right-click → “Find this person on LinkedIn.”
Or press Alt + Shift + K (Option + Shift + K on Mac).
Open the evyAI side panel on the LinkedIn profile you just found.
Save the profile to evyAI and apply tags/lists (e.g., Facebook Friends, Event Leads, Warm Intros).
Deploy an AI Research agent for a concise, ready-to-use briefing.
Act immediately: draft a tailored comment, DM, or connection note—all within your workflow.
Real-world use cases
Social cross-pollination: On Facebook and see a sharp commenter? Look them up on LinkedIn instantly, save as Facebook Friend, and start a business conversation with context.
Inbox to network: Get an intro by email? Highlight the name inside Gmail/Outlook and jump straight to LinkedIn.
Community to client: In Skool/Slack/Discord? Turn active members into researched leads without leaving the thread.
Research at speed: Reading an article or a podcast transcript? Highlight every guest or executive you want to meet, rapid-fire.
Pro tips for power users
Create smart lists: Podcast Guests, Event RSVPs, Tier-1 Prospects, Warm Referrals. Sorting later becomes painless.
Standardize tags: Use consistent tag names (e.g., Facebook, X/Twitter, Email Intro) to see at a glance where relationships originate.
Batch research: Save first, then run AI research in batches to build a pipeline of conversation-ready contacts.
Next-step templates: Pair research with evyAI templates for connection notes, first messages, and thoughtful comments.
Privacy & etiquette
Only save people you intend to build a relationship with.
Personalize your outreach. Use AI research as a head start, then add genuine interest.
Respect platform and community rules. evyAI accelerates human networking—it doesn’t replace it.
Frequently asked
Does this work outside of Facebook?
Yes. If there’s selectable text on a webpage or in your webmail, you can use the feature.
What if multiple people have the same name?
LinkedIn will show candidates. Use company, headline, or location to confirm before saving.
Keyboard shortcut not firing?
Make sure the evyAI extension is enabled and the page focus is on highlighted text. On Mac, try Option + Shift + K.
Can I customize tags/lists?
Absolutely. Create any tagging system that matches your workflow, then filter in evyAI later.
