evyAI New Features 2026 q1 Demo

In this live demonstration, CEO Joe Apfelbaum walks viewers through the latest version of Evy AI (formerly Evvy/Evii) and its Chrome extension. He explains how to install, update, and manage the extension, and showcases the redesigned web‑app UI, including account, subscription, notifications, and settings navigation. The demo highlights the expanded content‑generation suite—idea generator, post writer, image and meme generators—and the new ability to create custom styles that control length, tone, emojis, headings, and writing techniques. He demonstrates profile management with CSV import, advanced search, tagging, and integration with GoHighLevel. Templates with Alt‑number shortcuts enable rapid actions like birthday wishes. The persona system is simplified, with styles handling formatting preferences. A newsjacking workflow is shown, using the Learning Hub’s prompts, a 3‑2‑1 format, and a backend queue to process LinkedIn news. Community features such as the calendar of daily events, the side‑panel that works across LinkedIn, Facebook, Skool, and other platforms, and multi‑LLM/language selection are presented. Finally, he discusses comment automation, rate‑limit cautions, and the importance of refreshing platforms after updates. The demo emphasizes speed, customization, and integration to boost productivity for marketers and AI‑enabled social media managers.
Chapters
Hello, this is Joe Apfelbaum, CEO of Evi AI, and I'm so excited about today's demonstration. I would love to show you guys how this new technology called Evi AI works, and I'm going to bring it up to you and show it to you in a meaningful way. But first, what I want to tell you is that this AI has now been significantly enhanced. It'll help you be able to do many things on all platforms, including comments, posts, messages, profile optimization. It does a lot. So we're going to cover some of the things that it does live for you so that you can review it. The first thing you want to do is you want to click on the top here that says get signed up for free or log in if you have an account, or you could just click on add Evvy AI to Chrome. When you click on add Evvy AI to Chrome, it takes you to the Chrome Store. And then you'll be able to just add it to Chrome. If for whatever reason you have an old version of it and you want to update it, you could always right-click on the icon here and click on Manage Extension. And it needs to say 231.250 if today's 3/15/2026. Um, you can turn on developer mode if you want to update it. You press developer mode on, on the top right. And then you'll see an update button right here, which says update, and you can go ahead and update the extension. And this should switch from version 1 to version 2, which is our latest version. If not, you could always just remove it and re-add it and you'll have a brand new one. Now keep in mind that if you remove it and re-add it, or you get the new version, you have to refresh platforms like LinkedIn for it to know that you're in. Okay. Let's review the new features of the UI first in the web app. So you're going to see it's going to look a little bit different. In order for you to be able to log in and log out, you need to click on this button over here, and there's a logout button here. There's also my account, and my subscription is here. Subscription used to be on the left here, and now it's under this little menu here. We also have a new notifications option on the bottom here where you can get notified of team members and things that are going on. So look out into those notifications. And if you want to add to Chrome, on the bottom left there's like a little add to Chrome button. If you ever need support, you can always click on the little support icon here and you can chat with support. That feature has always been there, but now it takes it to the next level. If you click on settings, you're going to see a place where you can see all your settings. I do recommend adding your Facebook, your Instagram, your YouTube, your Twitter, and there's your billing. There's your team, your integrations, and your available licenses. If you click on content, you'll be able to go through and see that we added the image generator here, and we're going to add many, many other generators here. So you're going to— when you click on content, you're going to see many different ways of writing content and creating content. We're going to add video generation. There's many more features coming this year, but for now, if you click on image generator, you can upload an image of yourself and put in a prompt You can speak the prompt by clicking on the microphone. You can use a template of the prompt right over here. And it looks like Mindy's calling me. Let me pick up the phone real quick. Hey Mindy, I'm on LinkedIn Live, um, showing people how Evvy AI works. But if you want to hop on Zoom, we can hop on Zoom. Mindy, everything okay? I have to talk to you personally or? Well, you're not on live right now. You're just on my phone. I'm just on live. I will. Thank you. Okay, so, um, this is where the image generation happens. If I click on content over here and I click on idea generator, this is where you can come up with ideas for what to post about. So for example, I'm going to type in business networking. And I'm going to press generate ideas. It's going to generate a bunch of ideas for you. And if you click on post writer and you want to write a post, you can click in here. You can tell it what you want to write a post about. Create a post about the benefits of networking. And when you press generate, it goes ahead and generates a post for you. The post will have a hook, main points, call to action, and hashtags. If you click on profiles, now you're going to see you're going to have all your profiles here. On the bottom, you can select how many you want. So these are all my LinkedIn profiles. So for example, if I want to pull up Christian Ryan, I have all the different things. I can leave notes about her right here inside Evvy AI. I can do AI research on her. So for example, if I want to use Perplexity, I just click on that button and it finds everything there is to know about this person. You see the agent is going out and looking for everything there is to know about this person right here. This is with the pro version of Evy AI. Anything that has a little purple icon means that it's the pro version. Okay, so we have content where you write posts, generate ideas, and generate images. Profiles is where you can add profiles. You can upload a CSV with all your profiles and you can add a single CSV and you can search. Now the search functionality works like never before. So I'm going to pull up Rick's information. I just search Rick. It'll show anything that has the word Rick in it. For example, I have Rick Clody here. I can leave notes. I can add them to tags. I can add them to lists. It's very powerful. I can integrate it with GoHighLevel and then send all this information to GoHighLevel with one click of a button. Okay, so we got profiles. We got search. We covered that. We have templates. Templates is extremely powerful because you can create a new template that you could use anywhere. So for example, you put in the name, the description, the tag, and you can even have a shortcut Where you do like Alt+1, Alt+2, Alt+3, Alt+4, Alt+5, Alt+6, Alt+7, Alt+8, Alt+9. And this allows you to be able to, with the extension, to be able to pull up any of those templates quickly. So for example, if I search birthday, I have a birthday template, birthdays on LinkedIn, and this is Alt+2. So if I want to be able to wish people a happy birthday on LinkedIn, I simply need to update this template. I could just go to LinkedIn by going to Learning Hub, Quick Links, and then clicking on Birthdays on LinkedIn, link number 2. If I open up the extension, see, I'm going to open up the extension right here, and then I'm able to click on Wishing You a Happy Birthday. And then if I just go in here, I already wish this person a happy birthday, but on the, on the 15th. But if I press Alt+2, you're going to see I just wished him a happy birthday in 2026. Very powerful. Okay, I can do that across all the people, all their birthdays. Hey Rosie, what's going on? Everything okay, sweetie? Yep. I don't think so because they're having a marathon and everything is closed. However, um, I could arrange for you to go to Ruthie's house. So you can play with her daughter. Okay, if she leaves, you'll go to Ruthie's house, okay? Okay, bye. All right, so as you can see, I'm going off wishing people a happy birthday, and it's really easy because I could have 10 templates that I use to do different things across the internet, and boom, there we go. So I'm going to go wish everybody a happy birthday while I'm at it. As you can see, I'm just wishing them a happy birthday. It goes really, really quick. And this helps me be able to stay top of mind with people without having to remember, you know, like some, there are some tools that allow you to do, you know, templates based on shorthand words. I can't remember words. I can remember numbers. So I remember this is Alt+2 gives me the happy birthday. Alt+1 might be thanks for connecting on LinkedIn. Alt+3 might be join my next webinar. So I can have, I can remember a bunch of different shortcuts, but I don't want to have to remember like words to like, you know, to use, 'cause then I just remember only 1 or 2 words. But here I can remember 9 different templates to use constantly. Okay, I'm going to go here and grab my recent posts. And you'll be able to see all my different things that I have going on. If I want to leave comments on posts, Evvii AI has a great comment generator, and now it's a bit faster than ever. So as you can see, you go into here and the comment just appears. Focusing on segmentation really makes a difference. It's impressive how tools like ActiveCampaign's Active Intelligence can identify. It's a smart way to get results. I'm going to go here, press send, and I just left a a powerful tool. And we use ActiveCampaign, fortunately. So I am going to copy this, copy this, and send it to our marketing team. Let me go ahead and send it to our marketing. Fernando. I guess I'll send it to Fernando and we'll deal with it later. Okay. If you want to write a post inside LinkedIn, you can click on start a post. You can click on content and you can choose your goal. Like for example, common myths, your tone, for example, authoritative, your persona, for example, Evie CEO. And then you have a style feature. Now I don't have any styles here. But styles allow you to choose how long or short or how you want it formatted. So now we have the ability to add styles to Evie AI. So I'm going to show you how you can add styles. So we're going to go back into the Evie AI here and we're going to click on style. So this is a new feature of Evie AI that we've never had before. I'm going to go ahead and click on new style. I'm going to call the style name and I'm going to call it elegant. Style. Okay. And the case uses is when posting on LinkedIn, have an elegant style. Now I want to be able to choose the level of detail. I can select summary, I can select moderate, or I can select in-depth. So this is guidelines for the AI to understand how you want the style to be for that type of content, whether it's a comment, a post, a message, an email, a tweet, a Facebook, any type of content that you want to create, you now have the ability to have a guided style that you create and you can use this style. So we're going to hit and do a summary. You can also decide how long you want it to be, so you can have it to be really long, or you could say, you know what, I want a really short post. So you go here, you do 850, 1,000 words. You can decide if you want emojis in the post or no emojis. You see, don't include, include emojis. And then you can decide if you want headings, if you want bullet points, you can select more than one, you can do text highlights, pull quotes, pro tip, you can insert clickable links, you can tell it to include resources. You see that? You could also decide what tools to use. You want to use real examples and be data-driven? Do you want to use metaphors? Do you want to tell a story? You want to ask questions? You can kind of give it— tell it what writing tools to use. And then you could describe what cases to use with the style. You see that? So you have a lot of different ways to customize your style. And if I press Create a Style, now I have this elegant style that'll write words up to 250, uses emojis, creates summaries, adds headlines, add headings, and uses metaphors. So this helps me be able to include specific styles. So if I click Select Style here now, I'm going to click on the little refresh button on the top left, and it's going to be able to pull the style from Evy AI that I just created. So if I want to write a post over here, now I can just select this particular style. So I have my goal, my tone, my persona, and my style. Now I can give it the topic that I want. So for the topic that I want, I'm going to go to newsjackingdaily.com. This is a website that we built that allows you to be able to take news. So friendship apps surge as loneliness economy goes. So I'm going to go here and I have 10 ready-to-use tweets, research prompts, LinkedIn post prompts, write a LinkedIn post reacting to TechCrunch's. So I'm going to press copy this one here. I'm going to put it in here and I'm going to hit generate. And what this is going to do is it's going to create a LinkedIn post. Do you see how quickly it created this post here? Now I want to insert this post into LinkedIn. I could just press insert, and now it just wrote the post like this. Okay, the hidden opportunity in friendship apps. While TechCrunch highlights the booming popularity in apps, many of us come to the surface. These friendships aren't just add-ons; they're catalysts. So here's my question: How can friendship apps? I would love to hear your thoughts. Okay, so this was very, very high speed creating content that is likely to get seen. Now, if I go in here, I have TikTok prompts, I have newsletter section prompts, meme generation prompts, and I have a meme that I can create. Create a meme image of a group chat, new friends meetup with 12 people typing, then a follow-up screen showing meetup starts in 10 minutes, then a chat goes silent. Caption, the flakiness problem is undefeated. Or generate a meme of a dating app interfacing parody that's looking for someone to go for a Trader Joe's with. Include a swipe button labeled flake. and actually shows up, and then a small footer. So if I want this, I could just click on here. I can press copy, pop this in here, and press generate. And now I have the ability to generate an image that I can drop right here into this post right from Evie AI. You see that? The hidden economy in friend— well, TechCrunch highlights the booming popularity of friendships apps. Many see only the surface. Okay, I'm going to do this. More connections, more engagement, but here's the contrarian insight. Real value lies in transforming these insights into meaningful experiences rather than strategic partnerships. Imagine blending friendship apps with local events. Think exclusive meetups, exclusive LinkedIn Local meetups. I'm gonna write LinkedIn local meetups. Or community gatherings to deepen fond loyalty. Or integrating wellness subscriptions, offering mental health support and mindfulness on the journey of well-being. Lastly, travel. I'm gonna say, or maybe think about travel partnerships that could turn virtual friendships into real-world memories. These partnerships are in place. They aren't add-ons. They are catalysts for creating a holistic experience. It's about turning digital friendships into tangible, enriching moments. So here's a question: how can you turn it on? I'd love to hear your thoughts. Okay, so I'm going to go ahead and post this now, and you'll see this come up. And what ends up happening is, because this is a newsjacking strategy, this will help me be able to be able to get out there in a meaningful way in front of people. I love this. I love this because this can also get me in here into the LinkedIn News. So I'm going to go ahead and grab the LinkedIn News from here, and then I'm going to feed it to my AI right now. So in here we have something called the Learning Hub. We also have Join the Community. So if you click on Join the Community in the extension, you can click on the classroom Click on the library, and then on the left side, we have tons of prompts you can use. We have templates, we have hundreds of templates, personas, but we also have something called special Evvii AI links. And if you go down, we created a newsjacking link that allows you to be able to jack the news. So if you click in here and you paste this and you hit generate newsjacking prompt, it says you're an expert LinkedIn strategist specializing in AEO, answer engine optimization, newsjacking, and thought leadership for Joe Apfelbaum at Evvii AI. Your job is to help me dominate LinkedIn trending conversations by creating content that positions me as the authority on AI entrepreneurship and LinkedIn strategy. So this is like an example prompt. You can modify this prompt for yourself, but it has all the stories to consider and it has a 3-step process. Step number 1 is pick the right 3 stories. Step number 2 is create a post using the 3-2-1 format. Then this explains the 3-2-1 format to the AI. And then step number 3 is rank the 3 posts. So you can create a persona that explains how to do this, and then a style that teaches a 3-2-1 format to Evie AI. And then you just feed it the news that came from the LinkedIn News, and boom, there you go. Just like that, you have all the news. So I love this. I love that we can do this. I'm going to go into my newsjacking section here and then make all these news stories available right now. I'm going to go to newsjackingdaily.com. I'm going to go ahead and log in. And then once I log in, I created a backend for myself that allows me to be able to generate based on— I paste anything in here. I'll just quickly show you how that works in the backend. I'm gonna click in here, I'm gonna paste this in here, hit add to queue. It's gonna go ahead and add all these to the queue, you see. And then if I want, I'm gonna process them all. I'm gonna go to the bottom here. I'm gonna start processing these 10 new items from LinkedIn, and it's gonna generate stuff. It's gonna generate stuff that I can then go ahead and approve and make available on newsjacking.com. That, my friend, is powerful. I'm going to go ahead and move— add tabs to new group, move tabs to another window. New window. Boom. I just add these 2 tabs to another window and I'm going to pull it in here. Okay. Back to Evie AI. Okay. So we taught you, we taught you a bunch of things. You got on the— so we taught you the backend of Evie AI. We talked about Templates. Personas is very, very much the same as it always was. You can create a new persona, put a name, a person, and a prompt. It used to be background and history and category and tone. We removed all that. It's just very, very simple. If you need personas, we have all the personas that are available in our community. Okay, so we moved a lot of the features from persona into styles so that you can create a clean persona, which is a prompt. And then styles is like how you want to style the actual format of it. It kind of separated the two. Okay, so we have personas and we have styles. Our learning hub changed a little bit. We have courses, we have resources, we have quick links, and then we have a demo of Evie AI. And then we have the community, which is— we have the Evie AI community. You just click on community, and if you want to see our calendar of events, we now have a tremendous calendar. We meet every single day, twice a day. So you can check out everything that's going on. Um, for example, on today we have a TikTok webinar at 2:00 PM, and then we have office hours at 12:00 at evviai.com/success. On Monday, we have a mindful commenting party at 1:00. We have the AI Business Development Circle at 2:00. We have office hours at 7:00. I believe we have a special posting party. for our top community members. So that's happening on Monday, which is very exciting. I'm gonna go double-check to see if that's happening at 10:00 AM on Monday. Oh, yep. 23 people are coming to the 100 Party, every AI, the first meeting of the 100 Party. Let's talk about the idea of having 100 people that you know, like, and trust to be active on LinkedIn. And let's see who's coming. It looks like our top people are coming to that. Very, very exciting. Our 100 party is happening on Monday. Oh yeah, it's gonna be fun. All right, so that's our calendar. Um, you're not gonna see the control panel because that's for admins only, but that's how this works. We also have a little home page. In the home page, you can generate ideas, you You can see everything that's going on. If you click on Content, under Content, that's where you see your recent activities. You used to have to go to the dashboard to see your recent activities. Now it's under Content, and you can see all your recent activities. You can order by recent, created, last modified. You can also split it by all these different types of options like post, post idea, comment, article, article comment, repost. Image generation and so on. So we added all these new features like being able to filter for all your images, something we never had before. And now you can see every image you've ever generated. Okay, so for example, this image is the image that I used to celebrate. I said this man holding a sign that says, we are live, Evie AI refactor, wearing an animal print suit, holding loafers, 3 women standing around them with blonde hair dressed in green dresses holding bags of money. I included this photo of myself and boom, there you go. That's what I have. Go back to recent activities. You can see all the different things. This one over here, this is a, again, high detail prompt of me. Now what I can do is I can take this and post it inside our community. So for example, sometimes I'll go into the community, click on write a new post, and then I'll use the side panel. So you see I have images here on the side. I'll use the side panel where I'll just press copy here, paste here. And then I will copy and paste the image prompt. I'm going to say, try this image prompt with Evie AI along with your headshot. Okay, so I'm going to go here. I'm going to say how I use Evie AI and I'm going to press post. Okay, so I just posted this, which is really, really nice and really cute. And now you can go to the communities, click on how I use Evie AI and see that particular one. As you can see, people are talking. Congratulations. Congratulations. Good luck. Thank you. Good news. Evie has already saved me time, helping me look smarter when I talk to prospects. And very exciting that we have this rolling. All right, well, that is a background on Evie AI. Now I'm going to show you the side panel just to kind of show you how that works. So we have the little home, little picture of the house on the right corner of Evie AI. You see a little tiny picture of a house on the top right corner. On top of that, there's an arrow that opens up the web app. So if you click on that, it takes you right into the web app that I just showed you. Then under it, there's content, there's profiles, there's templates, and there's image generation. Okay, so if you click on the homepage over here, content, and you click on content, you'll be able to see it says AI Writer on top. Depending on where you are on LinkedIn, it might change. So for example, if I go into Justin Welsh's post here, it'll automatically change to comment here. So it knows I want to leave a comment. And if I put a keyboard shortcut in here, the comment just appears instantly. So there's no waiting anymore. On the bottom here, we have languages. You can choose any language you want. You can choose any LLM you want. I'm using ChatGPT-5 Nano, but you can use Gemini, Grok, Claude, whatever you want. You could also choose your goal, tone, and persona for each type of generation. So over here I might say informational, here the tone might be whimsical, and the persona might be Twitter, you know, for Twitter, for CEO, 20 words, whatever. Okay, so I go in here and I'm going to go here for George Jensen and I'm going to just drop a comment for George. Do you see how quickly it did this and it ended with the word boom because that's what the persona says to do, it says end with the word Boom. This helps me be able to leave comments very, very quickly. You gotta be careful because now you can leave comments so quickly. So you gotta make sure that you're not leaving too many comments too fast on LinkedIn. LinkedIn gets upset if you leave too many comments too fast. So you wanna slow down your comment generation, even though we let you leave many, many, many comments very, very fast. You wanna be able to do it naturally like a normal human, 'cause if you leave too many comments, you're gonna get in trouble with the AI. With LinkedIn's algorithm. Thanks for sending positive energy. Boom, people are already responding. Thank you for the messages that I sent them. Wow. All right, what else can I tell you? You can leave comments with your company page as well if you want. You can set up a persona that is your company page and leave a comment with your company page. As you can see, I'm leaving comments. If I switch to posts, it'll, you see AI writer switches, removes the goal tone persona. If I go in here, it'll remember the last goal tone and persona that I had for posts. You see? Same thing for comments, same thing for messages, same thing for everything. It'll remember your goal tone persona based on whatever activity you're doing. Okay? Let's see what else I have going on over here. Oh, so if I go to Facebook, and I want to leave comments on Facebook. Let me quickly show you how to do that. So I want to leave a comment on Ty's post. I'm going to go ahead and select this all. I can right-click on this and I can click Send to Evii Side Panel. You see it sent this information here. Then I'm going to select a Facebook persona. Facebook, just like that. Facebook post response. I can also select my goal for the Facebook post response, provide value. And then I'm going to do Educational. Actually, you know, I don't want to be educational. I'm just going to be conversational. I'm going to hit generate. It's going to read what I sent to Evie AI, and then I can just drop a comment by pressing the insert button here, just like that. You see? I see you're dropping some serious truth bombs here. It's like peeling back the curtain on a magic trick. Sometimes the real answer is knowing what you don't want— what they don't want us to see. Keep shining the light, my friend. Boom. Okay, so I just left him a thoughtful comment on that. You can go ahead and leave comments on anything inside groups, inside anywhere. All you gotta do is select the post that you want to comment about, right-click on it, send it to Evie AI, and then press generate. And then all of a sudden, boom, you can press comment and then press insert, and then boom. I'm just going to delete this. Okay, I modify it a little bit, I press comment, and boom, there you go. And yeah, that's it. That's, that's what I got going on for you. Same thing in school. If you go into school, you go into any community, you want to leave a comment in school, I'm going to find a post like Fernando posted this here. I can right-click on here, send to Evie AI. I can choose a school persona. So I have Joe Apfelbaum School right here. You see that? Joe Apfelbaum School. I press generate and I'm going to go ahead and like this and I'm going to generate a post. Hey Fernando, love the vibe. Building personas, a process like crafting an AI avatar, makes your content more authentic. Okay, I'm gonna go and delete. Okay, and I'm gonna hit post. I just deleted half that, and I'm gonna want to modify that persona. The way that I do this is press home, I click on personas, and then I'm gonna— I can go in here, click on personas, and I can go to that school persona. I press school, and I see all the different school personas that I have. So here's the The school post reply or the Joe Apfelbaum school community. Act as Joe Apfelbaum, leave a comment that's under 30 words, make it relevant to the topic, invite them to join our community. You can also mention that we have tutorials, blah, blah, blah. You see that? If I want, I can go back here. This one's a different one. Respond as a supportive community member named Joe Apfelbaum in a school community. Post a comment that Joe's the author of the comment. For the context, Joe's the CEO of Evvii. Use a witty sense of humor, often make people laugh. Be casual, show you really care, show you read the post. blah, blah, blah. So maybe I want to use this one called School Post Reply. You see that? So I can go in school and I can find another one. Like for example, Lance LaFort. I'm not going to comment on that one here. Good morning, all hosts. Live now. Get hired in process. Um, I'm gonna go here. I'm back. Okay, so Lisa's back. I'm gonna select Lisa here. Go to content, school post reply, right-click here, and then click on send to side panel, hit generate, and then press insert. You see that? Hey Lisa, great to see you back. After refreshing button, recommendations are high fives, blah blah blah. Okay, so I'm gonna go here. I just sent her a very nice little message here on Skool. All right, well, I hope you will use Evie AI in good health. This is a new version. You're going to see many, many new features coming out very soon. We have over 200 new features that we're planning. So thank you so much for being in my life. Thank you for using our technology. Thank you for using our strategies. Thank you for being a member of our community. And we'll see you in the next one. Hope you enjoy. Boom. Oh, by the way, don't forget to refresh LinkedIn. So if you install the new version of Evvy AI, make sure that you refresh LinkedIn before you start, or close your browser and reopen it, or restart your computer. Try that. All right, thank you very much.
