Track other profiles
Add competitors and creators for Astro to study, and manage your own profiles.
Astro can read more than your own posts. Add a competitor to see how they position themselves, or a creator whose style you admire. Astro studies their posts and uses what works when it drafts for you.
Three kinds of profile
| Kind | What it is for |
|---|---|
| My profile | You post from this profile. Astro drafts in this voice. |
| Competitor | A competitor to track for positioning and content strategy |
| Inspiration | A creator whose style or ideas you want to learn from |
You can only draft as one of your own profiles.
Add a profile
- Open the profile switcher at the top of the Compose sidebar and choose Manage profiles.
- Press Track another profile.

The extension imports the profile's posts in your browser. Keep Chrome open and stay signed in to LinkedIn.
Verify
The profile appears in the list. Its row shows Queued, then Checking…, then the time of its last check.
Ask Astro about it in a chat: "What has Acme been posting about this month?"
Manage a profile
Open the menu on a profile's row.
| Action | What it does |
|---|---|
| Profile type | Changes the kind |
| Re-scan full history | Reads all the posts again. Keep the LinkedIn tab in front while it runs. |
| Remove profile | Stops tracking it |
Every tracked profile is checked about once a day, while Chrome is open and the extension is paired.
