Could you build this?
Partial Building the UI and CRM features is trivial, but LinkedIn automation relies on complex stealth browser automation or private API emulation that actively evades LinkedIn's bot detection.
What it would actually take: The tool requires a Chrome extension or headless browser (Playwright/Puppeteer) with stealth patches, proxy rotation, and human-like interaction curves to extract data and automate DMs. The core challenge is avoiding LinkedIn's sophisticated anti-scraping and behavioral anomaly detection, requiring deep knowledge of browser automation security and reverse engineering.
