6 reasons why LinkedIn professionals choose Instation over ChatGPT
While ChatGPT is great for general AI assistance, Instation offers specialized LinkedIn tools and features
While ChatGPT is a general AI assistant, Instation is purpose-built for LinkedIn with specialized templates, formatting, and optimization specifically for the platform.
Create images, GIFs, carousels, and banners directly in the platform. ChatGPT can only help with text content - you need separate tools for visuals.
Track post performance, get growth insights, and optimize your LinkedIn strategy. ChatGPT has no analytics or performance tracking capabilities.
Access viral LinkedIn posts database, trending influencers, and current news trends. ChatGPT relies on training data and can't access real-time LinkedIn trends.
Schedule posts, manage content calendar, and collaborate with teams. ChatGPT is just a chat interface without workflow management features.
One-click publishing, profile optimization, and LinkedIn-specific features. ChatGPT requires manual copy-pasting and external tools for LinkedIn integration.
