PowerIn Reviews

I've been using poweIn for the past 24 hours and gosh am I cringing. a colleague messaged me this morning, asking if I'm using a bot to reply. I rushed to check linkedin and gosh- the comments posted by powerIn are beyond appalling.
Here is an example:

*The original post:*
"🚀 Transforming Transport Technology with Firstco’s Remote Operations Platform! 🚀

For 25 years, hashtag#Firstco has been a trusted partner for transport operators, helping them manage their technology and data systems. In this video they introduce their latest innovation: a Remote Vertiport O&M platform that enables vertiport owners to manage multiple sites from a single command and control application.

Key Highlights:

🚀Situational Awareness: Seamless integration of digital systems for enhanced monitoring.
🚀Software Assisted Operations: Automating routine tasks to improve efficiency.
🚀Teleoperations: Minimizing the need for on-site staff, enhancing operational flexibility.

Their Vertiport Management System (VMS) integrates various vertiport systems into a unified platform, supporting real-time, remote control and monitoring of eVTOL infrastructure. Leveraging WinCC OA, they address the challenges of distributed site management, ensuring accurate data presentation and situational awareness.

Join in exploring how Firstco is setting new standards in transport technology management".

*The powerIn comment:*
"uniting operations through ingenious software solutions".

That's it. that was the comment.
To be clear, I selected the setting that makes the comments be all lowercase. I agree it's potentially a clever way to hide the fact that it's a bot- but regardless of the case of the letters, the comment is trash. If a blind monkey grabbed random words out of a plastic bag it would make about as much sense.

I can post all comments powerIn commented on my behalf to linkedin but let me just say, they all are (extremely-AI-sounding) summary's of the post, rather than a comment or reaction to it.

Here is one more example:

Post:
"With hashtag#SPS24 just around the corner, I'm excited to share a sneak peek regarding hashtag#SIAMTICAX!

This year, SIMATIC AX will be featured across several areas and use cases, giving us the chance to show how we're shaping the future of automation.

AX will be part of a greater story on hashtag#SoftwareDefinedAutomation - where we expand hardware-defined automation with software-defined functionalities. Together with the hashtag#VirtualPLC, hashtag#IndustrialEdge & hashtag#SIMATICWinCCUnified for Industrial Edge we’re showing our latest innovations in regards to collaborative workflows to optimize production lines, reduce downtime, and boost operational efficiency."

PowerIn comment:
"innovating industrial automation excitingly. collaborative workflows, software-defined advantages compelling."

What an absolute bucket of mumbo-jumbo hogwash. I am not upset at powerIn only because it actually made me laugh out loud.

I think this is a great concept and it works fairly well however:
1. The settings I put in are not reflected in the actual posts.
2. When I submitted a question in the chat about this, I did not receive a response so customer service is a bit lacking.
3. I removed my account and re-added it to see if it would fix the issue and it didn't fix it.
4. The comments it produces are a good start but they all need editing so I would never recommend just setting it to automatic without reviewing them first.
Also, I would like to see the ability to add a few different keywords rather than just 1. It is a bit limiting.

I typically don’t write reviews unless I’m truly impressed, and trust me, this app has blown me away! If you're looking to elevate your authority, expand your connections, and boost engagement on LinkedIn, this is an absolute MUST-HAVE. I can’t comment on its performance on X since I haven’t activated it there, but on LinkedIn, it’s nothing short of a game-changer.

In just three days of using this app, I've noticed a remarkable surge in followers, engagement, profile views, and impressions. The automatic keyword tracking and auto-posting features have sparked genuine, valuable conversations with people I never would have connected with otherwise. This tool is powerful, and if you harness it correctly, it can truly become a wealth-maker for you.

I’m excited to upgrade my tier as my budget allows because I know the potential is limitless! I highly encourage you to give it a try; I promise it will become an essential part of your social media growth toolkit. Don’t miss out!

The tool automated my comments on Twitter (X) and LinkedIn, significantly improving my social media engagement, especially on LinkedIn. While PowerIn has been overwhelmingly positive for me, it's worth noting that, as with any AI tool, there's always a small chance of generating a comment that might not perfectly fit the context. Or asking questions in the comments and not generating hashtags so far on the comments. However, in my experience, these instances have been rare and far outweighed by the benefits, and I believe Tom and his team are trying to solve those issues.

I have used many auto-commenters, but nothing like PowerIn. It personalizes every single comment, and almost every time, the comment creates a high engagement rate.

It's still new, but there's a lot of potential in the product. I hope one day it will expand its service to other social media like Instagram and Threads.
