Hi,
I believe you made a mistake by asking AI to generate an in-depth analysis by looking at "- LinkedIn discussions – Analyze high-engagement posts, thought leader commentary, and recurring themes in buyer sentiment."
LinkedIn is a closed system. Unless you upload what you scrape off of LinkedIn and feed it to AI, it can't directly access LinkedIn Discussions.
video AI models: do you know anyone who has used and can recommend any that are pre-trained and can be customized to recognize fashion and accessories? i am testing a couple but looking for ones you have called with an API or used a test demo environment for. thanks in advance!
