# Create a Roleplay Agent from a LinkedIn Profile

Create a roleplay agent from a LinkedIn profile so your team can practice with a buyer modelled on a real prospect.

Outdoo AI can build a roleplay agent persona directly from a prospect's public LinkedIn profile, reflecting that person's job title, seniority, company background, and likely priorities.

## When to use this method

Use a LinkedIn profile when you want a persona built around a specific person you are preparing to talk to, rather than a generic buyer type. This is useful for:

-   Outbound prospecting into a named account
-   Account-based selling where you already know the stakeholder
-   Executive conversations where seniority and communication style matter
-   Multi-threading prep, building a separate agent for each stakeholder in a buying committee

## Steps to create from a LinkedIn profile

### Step 1: Open the creation page

Go to **Practice > Roleplay Agents**, click **Create Roleplay Agent** and choose **Create Single Agent**.

*Start a new agent from the Create Roleplay Agent menu.*

### Step 2: Choose the roleplay type and scenario

Above the prompt box, pick the **Roleplay Type** (for example, cold call or discovery) and the **Scenario** the persona should be built for. Both are required.

### Step 3: Provide the profile

Click **Create from > LinkedIn**, paste the URL into **LinkedIn Profile URL** and click **Submit**. The profile must be public. Then submit the prompt.

### Step 4: Outdoo AI builds the persona

Outdoo AI reads the profile and generates a persona reflecting job title, responsibilities, company background, seniority level, and likely priorities. A VP of Operations at a manufacturing company will come through with a different tone, pace, and set of concerns than a first-line individual contributor.

### Step 5: Add a resource for more specificity

Before you submit, you can also use **Add Context > From Resources** to attach a playbook or product document alongside the LinkedIn profile. Combining a real stakeholder's profile with your own materials produces a more specific simulation, for example a persona based on a named economic buyer who also raises the objections your team hears in real deals with similar companies.

### Step 6: Customize the agent

The agent opens in the editor. Review the generated profile and adjust emotional tone, objections, preferences, and scenario details as needed.

### Step 7: Add a scorecard

Attach a scorecard in the **Scorecard** section and add **Roleplay Instructions** so the roleplay produces scored, structured feedback.

### Step 8: Publish and share

Click **Publish** and share the agent with the team members who need to prepare for this stakeholder or role.
