Training Allen to sound like you
What to put in Train Allen: your bio, example comments, style tags, rules, comment goal and length. Plus how ratings and edits keep teaching it.

Train Allen is where you teach Allen how you write. Everything here feeds every comment and every DM it drafts.
Bio and tone description
A few sentences about who you are and how you come across. "I'm a B2B sales coach. Direct, no fluff, occasionally witty. I don't use buzzwords." Allen reads this before it writes anything.
Your website
Paste your website and Allen reads it to understand what you do, who you serve, and the words you use for it. That stops comments that sound like a stranger wrote them.
Example comments
This is the single most useful thing you can give Allen. Paste three to five comments you have actually written on LinkedIn, the ones you were happy with. Allen studies your sentence length, how you open, whether you ask questions, how you close.
Style preferences
Tick the tags that fit you: short and punchy, storytelling, data-driven, and so on. Set your usual comment length and whether comments should end with an invite to connect.
Comment goal
Tell Allen what a comment is for: start a conversation, show expertise, support the author. It changes how comments end.
Rules
Anything Allen should always or never do. "Never use exclamation points." "Never start with Great post." "Always write in British English." "Never mention competitors by name." Rules are followed on every comment.
Keep teaching it
Training is not one and done. Every edit you make on Today is saved, and every thumbs up or thumbs down tells Allen what landed. Most people say the comments sound like them within the first week, and better again by week three.
Test it
At the bottom of Train Allen you can paste any LinkedIn post and see the comment Allen would write right now.
