Who wrote last, everywhere
The agent lists conversations on every connected account, reads the recent ones and reports the threads where the last message is not yours. That is the only accurate definition of waiting on you, and it is the one no app computes — they all show unread, which is a different and less useful fact.
“What is waiting on me this week, across every account?”
“Anything unanswered older than three days?”
Unread is not unanswered
A notification opened on your phone marks a thread read without you replying. Conversely a thread you answered can still show unread if the other person wrote again. Both mistakes produce the same outcome: the important conversation stays invisible, and the list you trust is wrong in the direction that costs you.
Age is the axis that matters
Sorting by oldest rather than newest is almost always right. The recent ones are still in your head; the three-week-old one is the one that quietly became a problem. Asking for the oldest first is what turns a list into a decision.
Rank before you read everything
Reads count against the LinkedIn budget, and reading two hundred conversations produces a summary of noise. Narrow by period or by keyword first — what is waiting that mentions a price, a date, a contract — and the answer is short enough to act on.
Triage does not answer
The output is a list with a reason for each. Drafting comes next, per conversation, and sending after that, each explicitly requested. An agent that answers the whole backlog automatically sends twelve generic replies, which is worse than the backlog.
Make it the Monday question
This is the one people keep running: every Monday, what is waiting on me across everything. Reading sends nothing, so it is safe on a schedule, and it replaces the five separate app checks that each cost a detour through a feed.
Common questions
Which accounts does it cover?
All the ones you connected: LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Instagram, Telegram and your mailboxes, in a single answer.
Why not use each app’s unread filter?
Because unread is unreliable in both directions. Reading who wrote last is the only accurate test of what is waiting on you.
Can it draft the replies?
Yes, one conversation at a time, and sending remains an explicit step you request.
Is it safe to schedule?
Yes. Reading marks nothing and sends nothing; every visible action is separate.
How LinkedIn works with Nilyo
Connection. Secure hosted sign-in (your LinkedIn credentials go to LinkedIn, never to the agent). Sales Navigator and Recruiter are detected automatically when your account has them.
What your agent can do. People and company search, profile lookup from a name or URL, your network and invitations, private conversations (classic, Sales Navigator, Recruiter inboxes), posts, comments and reactions, job postings and applicants, Recruiter projects.
Pacing and safety. About 100 actions per day per account, profile views and searches included; calls are serialized so an agent can never run LinkedIn requests in parallel.
- Profile URLs are resolved to stable profile IDs before any action.
- Invitations carry an optional note of up to 300 characters.
- Private or restricted profiles return an explicit “not accessible” result instead of a retry loop.
