Write a bio for [PERSON OR BRAND] for [PLATFORM]. The audience is [TARGET AUDIENCE], and the bio’s purpose is [BIO GOAL]. Use only these verified facts: [VERIFIED FACTS]. The voice should feel: [VOICE AND BOUNDARIES]. The available space and required elements are: [FORMAT LIMITS AND REQUIRED LINKS OR CTA]. First, identify the platform constraint that matters most, such as character count, first-person versus third-person convention, search keywords, link placement, or the amount visible before truncation. Then write 5 distinct bio options, each within the stated limit. Label each option by its angle: credibility-first, audience-benefit, niche-focus, conversational, or minimal. Each bio must include a concrete role, subject area, or outcome supported by my facts. Use a claim only if the supplied facts support it. Do not invent titles, client names, follower counts, awards, locations, credentials, revenue, or personal details. Avoid vague descriptors such as “passionate,” “thought leader,” “expert,” and “helping people thrive.” Do not stack more than two roles unless the platform purpose requires it. After the options, provide a comparison table with character count, strongest signal, possible ambiguity, and any fact that needs confirmation. Recommend one option for the stated audience and give two exact edits: one for stronger searchability and one for a warmer tone. Ask up to 3 clarifying questions only if a required input is missing. Before answering, self-check every factual claim against [VERIFIED FACTS] and verify that each bio meets [FORMAT LIMITS AND REQUIRED LINKS OR CTA].

Variations
Speaker bio

Team directory
Use when employees need consistent internal profile copy.

Avoid performance claims, private information, and jargon outsiders would not understand. Provide one formal and one friendly version. Ask up to 3 questions only if a required input is missing.
Tips
- Lead with the role or subject area a visitor needs to recognize in the first few words, especially on profiles that truncate text.
- Treat a bio as a selection of facts for one audience, not a compressed resume with every past role included.
- Use titles and outcomes that can be verified; replace inflated labels with the actual work you do.
- Refresh the bio when your role, offering, location, or primary audience changes, rather than adding another clause.
FAQ
Should a bio be written in first person or third person?
Follow the platform and context. Social profiles often work in first person; conference programs, websites, and press materials commonly use third person.
Can AI write a bio from my resume?
Yes, but paste only the facts you want used and name the target audience. A resume contains more detail than most bios need.
How many versions should I keep?
Keep a short, medium, and long version based on the same verified fact set. Adapt the emphasis for each platform rather than copying one version everywhere.
