In today’s digital world, your bio is a great first impression, what ever your profession. But writing about yourself can be surprisingly tricky. That’s where AI comes in.

With the right prompts, AI tools can help you craft a bio that’s clear, authentic, and tailored to your audience. Whether you want something warm and welcoming, professional and concise, or creatively expressive, AI can generate multiple versions to choose from and save you hours of writing time.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to use AI effectively to create a bio that reflects your voice and values. You’ll learn what information to include, how to structure your prompts, and how to refine the results to make them truly yours.

I like to use ChatGPT and Microsoft CoPilot (which is great if you already have a Microsoft business account).

Where to start ….

Before you begin, make sure you know your purpose. 

  • Why are your writing this bio, where is it going, how long does it need to be 
  • Who is your audience – age, demographic, relationship 
  • What tone you want to use – is it warm, professional, approachable, humorous 
  • What you want to highlight – such as your qualification, approach and experience. 

Make sure your prompt is strong.

Firstly, what’s a prompt? A prompt is basically what you type in to tell the AI what you want. It’s your way of giving the AI a task like “Write a fun bio for a fitness coach” or “Summarise this in two sentences.” The better your prompt, the better the AI’s response. When it comes to creating bios, prompts help the AI understand exactly what kind of tone, details, or style you’re going for, making the whole process super smooth.

What is a strong prompt? Once you are in ChatGPT or Microsoft CoPilot, the prompt needs to be specific to you, include key information, such as:

  • Your profession,
  • therapeutic approach,
  • Audience/client focus,
  • Specialisms,
  • Qualification,
  • Background and
  • Style/tone.

An example could be:

Please create a warm, friendly and professional bio for a counsellor named **. She uses an integrative approach combined with CBT and mindfulness, works with adults experiencing anxiety and grief, and has a background in social work. Please include language around empowerment, resilience and healing. The bio is needed for a therapy directory and should be around 200 words long.

You can also include prompts such as:

  • Please make it humorous and professional
  • Please include metaphors that make me approachable.
  • Please provide multiple versions where the tone changes so I can compare, such as motivational, humorous, nurturing.

What if you already have a BIO? If you already have a BIO, then you can also use AI to update/refresh this. Copy it into the chat alongside a prompt such as:

Please update and refresh the following bio of myself, I want it to sound warm and nurturing, and include a metaphor to make me more approachable.

Lastly, don’t take the first version, time to refine

Once you have a draft make sure you refine it. Check for accuracy, add some personal touches and values, and adjust the length if needed. You can always run this back through the AI, along with adjustments you want it to make. You can use follow-up prompts such as:

  • Make this more conversational
  • Add a sentence about why I became a therapist that includes …
  • Include a quote that reflects my philosophy.

Have some fun with it!

Writing a bio doesn’t have to be a daunting task. With the help of AI, you can create a profile that’s not only accurate and engaging but also aligned with your professional identity and values. By using thoughtful prompts and refining the output, you can turn a blank page into a confident introduction that resonates with your audience.
