LinkedInScope keeps growing — so we shipped an AI Photo Generator to double down

  Hey IH,

First of all, happy New Year to everyone, I wish you all the best !!!

  Quick update on LinkedInScope — the AI tool that roasts your LinkedIn profile.

  Traffic hasn't stopped. It keeps growing. People share their roasts, tag their friends, and come back to check "if it still hates them."

  So instead of sitting on it, I asked myself: how do I bring even more value and fun to these users?

  Answer: AI Photo Generation.

  What's new ?

  You can now turn your selfie into a stylized profile picture — in 30 seconds.

  Pick a vibe:

  - Professional (clean LinkedIn look)

  - Miami Vibes (pastel paradise)

  - Gatsby Glamour (1920s elegance)

  - Rock Star (leather jacket energy)

  - Content Creator, Entrepreneur, Night Out... 12 styles total.

  Pick a social frame (LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter) and let the AI do its thing.

  First photo is free. No signup.

  Why this made sense

  1. Users were already engaged. They came for the roast, stayed for the insights. Now they have a reason to come back and do something with their profile.

  2. Fun compounds. The roast is shareable. The photo is shareable. Stack them together = more loops.

  3. It's a natural upsell. Roast tells you what's wrong. Photo helps you fix the first thing people see.

  The 2026 mindset:

  AI is everywhere now. The winners won't be the ones with the fanciest models — they'll be the ones who package AI into delightful, useful experiences.

  That's what I'm trying to build here:

  - Roast your profile → awareness

  - Generate a photo → action

  - (Soon) Linkeme integration → full funnel

  Try it

  And yes, the roast is still there if you want the brutal truth first.

  Let's make 2026 fun and profitable.

    Congrats on the growth! Adding an AI Photo Generator is a brilliant move to keep users engaged. From an SEO and marketing standpoint, these kinds of 'shareable' features are gold mines for organic reach.

    Have you thought about creating a dedicated landing page for the photo generator with some optimized keywords around 'AI LinkedIn headshots'? It could really help drive some fresh organic traffic from Google. Keep up the great work!"

    This makes sense. People come for the roast, but eventually they want to improve their profile, not just laugh at it. Adding photos feels like a practical next step instead of forcing monetization too early. How many users actually convert after seeing the roast.

    Great to see LinkedInScope building on the viral roast with something that drives more long‑term value! Turning selfies into professional‑looking headshots lowers the friction for people to update their LinkedIn, which can lead to better engagement. I'm curious how you decided on which "vibes" to include, and whether you've noticed increased sharing or retention from users who try the photo generator. Also, how do you plan to monetize the photo tool without discouraging new users?
