Built to Solve a Problem We Knew Firsthand
It Started With One Repetitive Task
While looking for developers for another startup, Alexander Erin kept sending LinkedIn messages in which only a few details changed. As a developer, he saw that the repetitive work could be automated and built a simple script for himself. There was no interface or product roadmap—just a practical solution to a task he knew firsthand.
Other People Needed It Too
When friends asked for a version they could use, Alexander added an interface and published it in the Chrome Web Store. That became Linked Helper 1. Within about two months, people were already using and paying for it. What began as a personal tool had become a real product.
Rebuilt for More Complex Automation
As workflows became more complex, the browser extension reached its limits. In 2019, the team began rebuilding Linked Helper from the ground up. Linked Helper 2 became a standalone desktop application designed for deeper automation, greater flexibility, and more user control. Today, more than 30 developers continue to evolve the platform, with Alexander still closely involved in its architecture and code.

Linked Helper evolves through dialogue with its users: they share real challenges, support identifies recurring needs, and our product team turns them into useful capabilities. We focus on flexibility, control, and integration—not the longest feature list. When users see real value, they recommend Linked Helper to others, making word of mouth our strongest growth channel.

Alexander ErinFounder and owner, CEO at Linked Helper LLC
“We consider not only the feature a user asks for, but also the business task behind it — because understanding the real need is what should guide what we build next.”
The Principles Behind Linked Helper
Years of building Linked Helper have shaped three principles that continue to guide the platform.
Architecture
Engineer for Long-Term Flexibility
Linked Helper runs as a standalone desktop application, giving the platform a strong foundation for complex workflows, granular settings, and deeper automation. As users’ needs evolve, the product has room to evolve with them instead of forcing every process into the same rigid structure.
Account Safety
Put LinkedIn Account Safety First
Smart daily limits, working hours, randomized timing, and activity warnings help reduce account risk. Based on years of product data, these safeguards support gradual, human-like automation and give users control over how each LinkedIn account operates.
User Control
Keep Control With the User
Users decide how workflows branch, which contacts to exclude, when messages need approval, and how much to delegate to AI. The same principle applies to scaling: validate the process first, automate it in small volumes, and expand only what works.
Milestones We Are Proud Of
From user trust to industry recognition, these achievements reflect the work and product decisions
behind Linked Helper.
More Than 99% Moved to Linked Helper 2
When we rebuilt Linked Helper as a standalone desktop application, more than 99% of first-version users switched to the new platform.

Linked Helper was featured as a recommended tool for LinkedIn outreach.
We Use What We Build
Linked Helper remains part of our own hiring process. Much of the company's core team was sourced through the same kind of LinkedIn workflow the product was originally created to automate.
One Product, Around 90 Code Projects Behind It
Linked Helper may look like one application, but behind it are around 90 separate code projects. This structure allows our team to develop, test, and improve different parts of the platform independently — resulting in faster updates and less risk of disrupting the workflows our users already rely on.
