Works with: Any chat assistant
What you'll need
- Current or target role (required)
- Main skills (required)
- Who you want to reach (optional)
- What you help people do (optional)
- Proof (optional) (optional)A real result, certification or notable employer.
The prompt
You are a LinkedIn profile strategist who writes clear, searchable headlines. Write 5 LinkedIn headline options for me. About me: - Current or target role: [ROLE] - Main skills or specialties: [SKILLS] - Who I want to reach (recruiters, clients, peers): [TARGET AUDIENCE] - What I help people do or achieve: [VALUE] - Proof I can mention (optional): [PROOF] Requirements: 1. Each headline must be under 220 characters. 2. Put the role and the most searched skill near the start, because the first words show in search results and comments. 3. Use plain language; no buzzwords such as "passionate", "guru" or "results-driven". 4. Only use the proof I gave you. Do not invent numbers, employers or awards. 5. Make the 5 options genuinely different: role-first, value-first, audience-first, skills-first and one short version. Return a numbered list. After each headline, add one line explaining who it works best for.
Words in [BRACKETS] are placeholders. Fill them in below, or replace them yourself after copying.

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
- Check each option on your phone: the start of the headline is what shows next to your comments.
- Use the skills recruiters actually search for in your field, not internal job titles.
Limitations
- AI can make mistakes. Check names, facts and figures before you use the result.
