Main features
We will take a look at each feature Taplio has to offer, and it has a bunch of features – so buckle up, and let’s dive in!
My Stats

This feature lets you check the high-level statistics of your LinkedIn profile. You can filter them by periods and share these numbers to your network if you are especially proud of them.

It also has a module that allows you to track your follower growth through a line or bar chart. This enables you to monitor where your growth has spiked, and what could have been the trigger behind that. Keep in mind that followers and connections are not the same on LinkedIn, which we have explained in great detail.

You can also see the performance of each LinkedIn post based on different metrics. A button in the final column lets you repurpose the same post using AI, which comes in handy when repurposing content.
My Queue

With this feature, you can create and schedule LinkedIn posts in a queue. This is a feature that LinkedIn already has (not with such eye candy, though), so what does Taplio add up to the scheduling feature to justify its price tag?
It adds re-queue, and shuffle sub-features, as well as the possibility to edit your post schedule.
Re-queue, as its name suggests, re-queues each post you create according to your new post schedule, which eliminates manual work.
Shuffle shuffles all of your content and pushes it to the top of the queue, which is a cool feature if you are unsure of what posts you want to prioritize.

You can edit your post schedule to different times of day, which makes it more automated and convenient than manual scheduling on LinkedIn. These are all useful features that can save time if you are willing to invest at least 39$/month for them.
AI Content Generation

Most people who invest money in Taplio are interested in its AI content generation features, that can help you create LinkedIn posts and overcome writer’s block, like in the screenshot above.
This feature uses GPT-4 and GPT-3.5 models. Presumably, the pricing of this tool is a bit hefty since Taplio gives you a set amount of GPT-4 credits each month, rather than forcing you to connect to OpenAI API and use your credits, which some tools do.

You can also switch between these two AI models, with GPT-3.5 being faster but less witty, and GPT-4 slower, but more witty. Sometimes, you will need to wait for 30-60 seconds for the output to complete with GPT-4. Additionally, you can use a slider to adjust the AI content generation to be more conservative or creative with ideas. Something similar to Bing Chat.

This feature has an integrated AI chat designed to give you more suggestions. There is also an action library that showcases all the handmade prompts that you can use.

This is a very cool sub-feature, as it can help you fine-tune the LinkedIn post further. With all that in place, don’t expect your LinkedIn posts will magically be human-written pieces of content from the get-go. You will still need to fine-tune your posts on your own if you want to sound like yourself – or your brand. Still, AI content generation is very useful for ideation, especially during those days when you lack ideas.
All of this is great for the convenience factor, but honestly, you could easily make these prompts on your own in ChatGPT for a smaller monthly subscription as well. Taplio just packages it very well in a gorgeous UI as well.
Content Inspiration
Taplio also has a different AI content generation module that helps inspire your content pieces. All of this content is based on the topics and descriptions you specified when creating the Taplio account.
This feature is divided into 9 sub-features:
- Generated For You
- Post Generator
- Hook Generator
- Carousel Generator
- Repurpose Content
- Viral Content
- Search-mode
- Industry News
- My Saved Content
Let’s check out how each of them works!
Generated For You

This sub-feature generates post ideas based on your account topics and description. In this case, it is SEO and link building. Taplio generates 6 ideas and you can immediately add them to your queue or choose to edit them. If you want to edit these posts, you can use the AI prompt library to make it easier. You can also export these ideas in a CSV file, which is handy.
Post Generator

Now this is a sub-feature we like. You give your custom instructions on what the post should be about, and then you fine-tune the format, tone, angle, and structure of it, based on the available tags. This can be a huge time-saver.
Let’s see its output:

If you use the GPT-3.5 model, it will make some factual mistakes, so it is a given that you still need to edit the post on your own.
Let’s see if using the GPT-4 model will make the post factually correct:

Disappointingly, even the more powerful GPT-4 model cannot get its facts straight. With this in mind, edit your posts even after AI generation to avoid such mistakes.
In this case – SGE means “Search Generative Experience”.
Taplio’s AI generation can struggle if you delve into some technical topics that require specific terms. Honestly, this isn’t the fault of the tool, that all goes on the limitations of the GPT generative model. This means as this model improves, Taplio will as well.
Hook Generator

One study on LinkedIn ads found that having an effective hook can increase CTR by 50%, so this feature can be a possible winner.
You input what the post should be about and Taplio outputs 6 hook ideas for you. Writing hooks for your LinkedIn posts can be exhausting, so having this is a welcome addition to the strong tool stack that Taplio offers.
You can also add these hooks to the post composer and then tell AI to input the post after that on its own, which is a time-saver.
Still, nothing stops you from doing this on your own with some custom prompts in ChatGPT, even with a free version.
Carousel Generator

The carousel generator sounds like a very promising feature. Allegedly, it can use YouTube videos and other links to create LinkedIn carousels. You also have a range of options to customize your carousel, such as:
- Setting fonts
- Adding your headshot and name
- Choosing the colors for the carousel

Let’s see if this feature works as intended. I will use this SEO prediction video to create a carousel from YouTube first:

Honestly, the output is pretty barebones from the actual value perspective. It just condenses facts from the video or web page and does its best job to give a summary, with mixed results.
All in all, the carousel generator feature is still new, and it shows. We believe it can be a great place for ideation, but not for generating actual full-scale carousels. Custom ones are still more useful to do.
Repurpose Content

This is a handy sub-feature that helps you water down long-form content pieces into a LinkedIn post format. It works fairly well, mainly because it doesn’t rely 100% on AI to get facts.
As the facts are already on the page itself, the AI’s job here is to crawl the page and generate the LinkedIn post based on what it thinks is the most im
