How to Use ChatGPT to Write Your Professional Bio

Writing about oneself can be one of the WORST things to do. Here is a way to create a professional bio for yourself that is accurate and reflective of who you are, while using AI. This way is much easier than starting from scratch and can still reflect your authentic self.

You can use ChatGPT to draft a strong, professional bio, as long as you give it the right inputs. The quality of what you get back depends entirely on what you put in.

STEP 1: Gather This Information First

Before you open ChatGPT, write short bullet answers to the following:

1. Basics

  • Full name

  • Current role or how you describe what you do

  • Years of experience (approximate is fine)

2. What You Actually Do

  • Who you help

  • What problems you help solve

  • How your work makes things easier, better, or more effective

3. Key Experience

  • Industries you’ve worked in

  • Notable roles, organizations, or projects

  • 2–4 core strengths or skills you’re known for

4. Your “Why”

  • What motivates your work

  • What you care most about in your field

  • What people often thank you for

5. Tone & Use Case

  • Where you will use this bio (LinkedIn, website, speaker intro, proposal, etc.)

  • one you want (warm, confident, conversational, formal, approachable, bold, etc.)

  • Any words or phrases you want to avoid

6. Optional Personal Touch

  • One human detail (location, fun fact, values, interests) if appropriate

  • Anything that helps you sound like a real person, not a résumé

 

STEP 2: Copy and Paste this Prompt into ChatGPT; input the copy that is in Green text from the above exercise

Act as a professional copywriter and career brand strategist.

Using the information below, write a professional bio that is clear, confident, and human—never stiff or overly corporate.

 Guidelines:

  • Use natural, conversational language

  • Avoid clichés and buzzwords

  • Do not sound like AI

  • Write in first person (unless specified otherwise)

  • Focus on impact, not just titles

  • Keep it warm, grounded, and professional

Audience: [who will read this]

Primary use: [LinkedIn / website / speaker intro / proposal]

Tone: [e.g., warm and confident, conversational, polished but approachable]

Here is my information:

  • Name:

  • Current role / how I describe my work:

  • Years of experience:

  • Who I help:

  • Problems I help solve:

  • Key industries or roles:

  • Core strengths or skills:

  • What motivates my work:

  • What people come to me for:

  • Optional personal detail:

  • Words or phrases to avoid:

Length: About [short paragraph / 2 short paragraphs / 150–200 words]

 

STEP 3: Refine

Once ChatGPT gives you a draft, give it even more prompts to get it to a place you’re confident in:

  • Make this sound warmer and more conversational.

  • Cut anything that feels generic or résumé-like.

  • Rewrite this to sound more confident, less formal.

  • Give me a shorter version for LinkedIn and a longer one for my website.

  • Rewrite this so it sounds like a real person speaking.

STEP 4: Final Gut Check

Before you use it, ask:

  • Does this sound like me?

  • Would I actually say this out loud?

  • Does it reflect how I want to show up?
