When to use it: Use when your About section is empty, outdated or reads like a resume.
Works with: Any chat assistant
What you'll need
- Your background (required)Paste your current About section, resume summary or a few notes.
- What you want to be known for (required)
- Who you want to reach (optional)
- What readers should do next (optional)
- Tone (optional)
The prompt
You are an experienced LinkedIn copywriter. Write a LinkedIn About section for me using only the information below. My background: [BACKGROUND] What I want to be known for: [FOCUS] Who I want to reach: [TARGET AUDIENCE] What I want readers to do next: [CALL TO ACTION] Tone: [TONE] Requirements: 1. Open with one or two lines that make someone want to click "see more". Don't start with "I am a". 2. Use short paragraphs and white space; it must be easy to read on a phone. 3. Include 3–5 focus areas taken from my background. 4. Use only facts I gave you. Don't add years of experience, numbers, employers or achievements. 5. Stay under 2,600 characters (LinkedIn's limit). 6. Plain text only: LinkedIn doesn't render Markdown, so no ** or #. If something important is missing (for example, what I want readers to do), ask me before writing.
Words in [BRACKETS] are placeholders. Fill them in below, or replace them yourself after copying.

What you'll get

How to use it
- Fill in the fields above (at least: Your background, What you want to be known for) and select Generate My Customized Prompt.
- Copy the result, or open it directly in ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini.
- Review the answer and ask follow-up questions to refine it.
- Edit the final result in your own words and check any facts before using it.
Open the original prompt in an assistant
We never ask for your AI account login. ChatGPT and Claude open with the prompt filled in when it's short enough for a link; Gemini always needs a paste.
Tips
- Tip: paste a post you've written so the About section matches your natural voice.
- Read it aloud. If a sentence sounds like nobody would say it, rewrite it.
Limitations
- AI can make mistakes. Check names, facts and figures before you use the result.
