# More reliable LinkedIn outreach and a Personality builder that holds

> LinkedIn messages no longer fail or get stuck on "Outreach needs attention" for technical reasons, and the Personality builder now shapes every message the way you set it.

Version: v1.602

## What this solves

- Some first messages and follow-ups failed with an error, and a few targets stayed on "Outreach needs attention" even after retries.
- Choosing Short in the Personality did not reliably keep messages short.
- Clicking Regenerate on an active Personality switched it back to a draft, which paused that rep's automated outreach until it was approved again.
- The Knowledge files card kept growing down the Brain page.

## What changed

- **Messages that no longer fail.** Longer messages are written in full, and a retry after a failed or cancelled draft now continues instead of stopping. Targets that were stuck recover on their next automatic retry.
- **Your settings are binding.** Length, formality, directness, tone, approach and what to avoid now apply to every comment and message. Length becomes a word target for each message type; your own confirmed rules about length still win.
- **Your voice, in your words.** Add short notes such as "I always use first names". Each is saved at once and applies to the very next message.
- **Regenerate without pausing outreach.** A new version waits beside your active Personality. Review it, then use it or keep the current one. A clear progress state shows while it is built.
- **Build it from a file.** Upload conversations or notes and the next version learns from them.
- **Favourites by type.** A comment now learns from favourite comments first, a message from favourite messages.
- **Compact Knowledge files.** At most three files show as one-line titles, with See all for the full list.

## Where to find it

Outreach → a rep → Brain: Personality on the right, Knowledge files on the left.

## Useful for

- Reps who want every automated message to sound like them.
- Managers who need outreach to keep running without manual fixes.
