If you’ve been building a network on LinkedIn for a while, you know the pain.

You’re connected to hundreds, maybe thousands of people…

But figuring out *who* they are, *what industries they’re in*, *how many are founders, execs, marketers, investors*?

Damn near impossible.

LinkedIn gives you the Rolodex.

But not the readout.

Yesterday, I saw [this post from ](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/laniassaf%5Ffind-out-what-your-linkedin-network-reveals-activity-7346206428090494976-D-EM?utm%5Fsource=share&utm%5Fmedium=member%5Fdesktop&rcm=ACoAAAA1Z6YBwlOIMKJ7oOyXPMbn0YVJx3E0dX0)[**Lani Assaf**](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/laniassaf%5Ffind-out-what-your-linkedin-network-reveals-activity-7346206428090494976-D-EM?utm%5Fsource=share&utm%5Fmedium=member%5Fdesktop&rcm=ACoAAAA1Z6YBwlOIMKJ7oOyXPMbn0YVJx3E0dX0), who leads brand and comms at **Anthropic** (the folks behind Claude).

She exported a CSV of her LinkedIn connections and asked Claude:

> “What patterns do you see in my professional network?”

Boom. Just like that, she got a detailed breakdown of her people.

Who they were. What they did. Where the clusters were.

Simple prompt. Big insight.

### **Why this is such a powerful move:**

We’re living in a time where **AI can make our invisible networks visible.**

We just need to start asking better questions.

Upload your LinkedIn connections CSV to Claude (or ChatGPT if you prefer), and try prompts like:

- “What professional roles show up most often in this list?”
- “Which industries are most common across my connections?”
- “Do you see any interesting clusters or gaps I should explore?”
- “How might I segment this network into useful categories?”

This is a killer way to:

- Spot opportunities
- Refine your ICP
- Build smarter content
- Engage more intentionally

And the best part?

It’s YOUR data. You’ve already earned these connections.

Now it’s time to actually *learn* from them.

For example:
