HeyReagent / An AI SDR for LinkedIn that asks before it sends
An AI SDR for LinkedIn that asks before it sends
An AI SDR here is an agent on your own LinkedIn account that does the work of a sales development rep. It finds the people worth talking to, writes a first note to each, follows up, and answers when they reply. It asks you before anything goes out, until you tell it which messages it may send alone.
Written on 25 October 2026.
What does an AI SDR do on LinkedIn?
The same day an SDR has, on your own LinkedIn account and in your name. You set one number, how many qualified meetings you want a week, and the agent works toward it.
- Finds new people worth talking to, at most five new conversations a day.
- Writes a first note for each one from their profile, not from a template.
- Follows up with the people who went quiet, and with the ones you never answered.
- Answers replies in your voice, and has the next message ready when someone says yes.
- Turns the people who reacted to your posts into conversations.
Each morning it sends you a short brief on where things stand, and a nudge when something needs you.
How does it find who to talk to?
Tell it who you sell to in plain words: the job, the size of company, the place. It searches Sales Navigator through a shared seat, and it can also start from companies that recently raised money.
- "I sell to heads of operations at logistics companies in Germany with 50 to 500 people."
- "Which companies in that group raised money recently? Find the right person at each."
search_people_sales_navigatorSearch people in Sales Navigator through a shared seat, by names of titles, places, industries and companies.find_decision_makersFind the people at one company by title, seniority and function, through a shared Sales Navigator seat.list_funding_signalsList companies that recently raised funding, through a shared Sales Navigator seat.search_companiesFind companies in Sales Navigator through a shared seat, by industry, place, size and recent signals.
These four searches come with the Agent plan. Each one only reads, so nothing changes on your account.
Does an AI SDR send messages without asking me?
Not at first. Every invitation, note and reply waits as a draft, with why it was written. You send it, change a word, or skip it. Later you can let it send on its own the kinds of messages you trust it with, and take that back at any time.
Some stops stay whatever you allow. Nothing more goes to someone who said no. There is no third follow-up in a row to someone who has not answered.
- "Show me what is waiting for my yes today."
- "Never pitch in the first message."

AI SDR or AI BDR: is there a difference here?
Not in what it does. People search for both names. Here it is one agent, and you say whether it goes after new people, answers the ones who came to you, or both. If you only want help with replies, tell it to leave new outreach alone.
Where to start
The agent and what it does each day are on the LinkedIn AI agent page, and the plans are on the pricing section. To drive the same LinkedIn actions yourself, without the agent, connect your LinkedIn to Claude, ChatGPT or n8n.
Questions
Does the AI SDR send email or make calls?
No. It works on LinkedIn, from the account you connect: invitations, messages, InMail, comments and replies. Where a conversation goes after that is up to you.
Will the messages sound like me?
It learns from every draft you change. What it knows about you and how you write is one page in plain words, which you can open and rewrite whenever you like.
How many people does it reach a day?
On its own it starts at most five new conversations a day. Every kind of action also has a daily limit for each account, listed on the actions page.
Can LinkedIn restrict my account for using it?
LinkedIn's User Agreement does not allow automated activity, and LinkedIn can limit or restrict an account that it decides is automated. Every kind of action here has a daily limit for each account to lower that risk. The limits do not remove it.
Rather have it done for you?
The Agent plan answers your inbox in your voice, follows up, and finds who to talk to today. You approve what it sends.
