So in theory I could hook it up to my LinkedIn account and it would go through people commenting on my posts, run sentiment analysis using a LLM, and identify key supporters or detractors?

Yes exactly if LinkedIn allows me to work with its API like this (its restrictive). This would work with YT, Instragram and X out the box. The key thing is this is AI with human oversight and it learns, gets smarter, the data overtime can turn into sales opp. The agent also adapts based on beacon profiles and optimises when to send comments so it doesnt feel robotic and maximises engagement rate.

I'm a former LI employee so I know some people there in product that may give me a chance but you got it one.

scraping via a browser plugin is not an option? would make you independent from any 3rd party api and the browser already has the users credentials

how would it learn? train/fine tune a custom llm?

That is definitely an option, perhaps not for mvp. Estimated time to learn vary's all depends on the amount of volume coming, the mix of platforms and category, but precedents exist. I estimated about a month from stress testing. Based on this exchange (thank you btw) i might just get this out and see how it goes.
