LinkedIn cold DM · 1 line vs. 3 paragraphs
If I cut my LinkedIn cold DM from 3 paragraphs to a single line, then reply rate will rise from a 7% control to 15% or higher within 40 sends.
An experiment OS for product teams. Define the hypothesis, attach the metric, set a kill threshold, then ship a verdict, not a debate.
The work doesn’t get harder. It gets explicit.
A passing thought, a screenshot from someone else’s launch, a hunch in the shower. None of them is wrong. None of them is enough.
The problem is not ideas. The problem is what happens next: they stay vague, with no structure, and no clear way to evaluate.
What’s missing isn’t the idea, it’s the contract behind it.
Xi exposes a remote MCP server. Your agent connects once and drives the same lifecycle you would: commit a contract, log values on cadence, confirm ship or kill, capture the learning.
OAuth via Clerk. 30 seconds to connect. Tokens are scoped to your workspace; nothing leaks past the experiments you authorize.
Same rigor whether a human commits the experiment, an agent does it for you, or a cron job lets the contract decide. One discipline.
Use the same MCP URL in your client’s MCP or connector settings.
Older clients without remote-connector support: bridge via npx mcp-remote https://xiexperiments.com/api/mcp/mcp.
Three steps. The shape doesn’t change between a marketing test, a pricing change, an outreach push, or a habit. The contract is the same.
You commit, up front, to what a win looks like, what kills the idea, and how long you’ll run it. Once it starts, you don’t change the rules when the numbers come in.
Your agent can monitor it through MCP: check thresholds as data updates, flag when a kill condition is hit, and log the right data for you.
The outcome is already defined: ship, kill, or review. Each result is saved with the evidence behind it. Wins and failures both become something you can reuse.
If I cut my LinkedIn cold DM from 3 paragraphs to a single line, then reply rate will rise from a 7% control to 15% or higher within 40 sends.
If the landing page leads with one clear promise instead of five features, then signup rate will rise from a 10% control to 12% or higher across 1,000 visits.
If I post 2 high-quality threads weekly instead of posting daily, then engagement rate will rise from a 3.9% control to 5% or higher per post.
