Message Generation in the New Surfe Side Panel

Message Generation helps you create personalised LinkedIn intro messages directly from the Surfe extension using AI-powered prospect research.

For now, this feature is available only on recommended prospect profiles synced to your CRM.

What does Message Generation do?

From a recommended profile in the Surfe side panel, you can generate personalised outreach messages in one click.

Surfe automatically combines:

  • prospect data

  • company information

  • buying signals

  • recent company news

and uses AI to generate ready-to-send LinkedIn intro messages based on relevant context and recent activity.

The goal is to remove the manual workflow of researching prospects and copying data into ChatGPT or Claude.


How to use it

  1. Open a recommended prospect profile in LinkedIn

  2. Open the Surfe side panel

  3. Click Generate Message

  4. Surfe assembles the available context and generates 2 message variants

  5. Review, edit, copy, or regenerate the message

Each generated message includes:

  • a different outreach angle

  • a signal-based opener

  • contextual reasoning behind the message


Research Pack

After generating a message, you can also access the Research Pack.

This is a structured summary of all available prospect and company context that you can copy directly into your own LLM such as:

The Research Pack does not generate a message itself — it simply prepares the research for you.


What kind of signals are used?

Message Generation may use:

  • recent promotions

  • hiring activity

  • funding announcements

  • partnerships

  • office expansions

  • product launches

  • company growth signals

Messages are designed to feel contextual and personalised rather than generic AI outreach.


Show Thinking

Each generated message can include a Show Thinking section explaining:

  • which signal was selected

  • why it was relevant

  • the outreach angle used

This helps you understand and adjust the generated message before sending it.


Availability and limits

Currently available:

  • Recommended profiles only

  • Profiles already synced to your CRM

  • Essential and Pro plans

Not currently available:

  • Arbitrary LinkedIn profiles

  • Manual searches outside Recommendations

  • Free plan usage

Free plan users can see the feature but cannot generate messages.


Usage limits

Message Generation and Research Pack usage share the same quota:

  • 50 generations per user per week

Regenerating a message counts toward the limit. Failed system generations do not.


Privacy and AI handling

To protect user privacy:

  • only the prospect’s first name is sent to the AI model

  • personal identifiers such as full name, email, and LinkedIn URL are replaced before generation and restored afterward


Coming next

Phase 2 will expand Message Generation to all prospect profiles and additional workflows beyond Recommendations.
