The Connections section is a beta feature that provides a personalized paragraph describing what you share in common with the person you are looking up. It’s designed to give you meaningful context at a glance—whether you're preparing for a meeting, revisiting an old connection, or exploring potential collaborations.
What You’ll See
In the For You section, you’ll find a short, tailored summary that highlights relevant touchpoints between you and the person. This could include shared experiences, overlapping work history, mutual interests, or parallel roles—all aimed at answering the simple but important question: What do I share in common with this person?
How It Works
The summary is generated by analyzing a blend of professional signals and publicly available information, such as:
- Shared companies, roles, or projects
- Overlapping industries or career stages
- Similar responsibilities, focus areas, or achievements
- Participation in common communities, events, or initiatives
- Newsworthy moments involving you both (e.g., acquisitions, product launches)
By pulling from these sources, the feature constructs a relationship snapshot that’s rich in context and genuinely useful for making connections.
Why Use It
Instead of scanning LinkedIn profiles or digging through old emails, For You surfaces key insights in seconds. It helps you start conversations with clarity, understand your professional network more deeply, and build on shared experiences with confidence.
