Hi, Ben here.

Your social media bio is like your digital handshake. It's often the first thing people see, and you only have a second or two to explain who you are and what you're about. It can be surprisingly hard to squeeze everything into just a few lines!

Staring at that empty bio field can be stressful. How do you sound professional but also personal? How do you make it clear what you do?

Don't worry. You can use AI as your personal branding expert to quickly generate a few great options. This recipe will help you create a clear and effective bio that you can use on any platform.

What You'll Need

Step 1: List Your Key Information

The AI needs some raw material to work with. Just list 3-4 key facts about you or your project. Don't worry about making it sound good yet.

Let's create a bio for you and dixon.ai:

  • Who I am: Ben Dixon, an ordinary guy.
  • What I do: I create simple, practical guides to help beginners use AI in everyday life.
  • My website: dixon.ai
  • My tone: Friendly and helpful.

Step 2: Copy the "Magic" Prompt

This prompt tells the AI to act like a branding expert. It specifically asks for a bio that is short, clear, and includes a call to action (like visiting your website).

Copy this entire block of text:

Act as a social media branding expert. I need to write a new bio for my social media profiles (like Instagram, X, and LinkedIn).

Please write 3 different bio options for me. The tone should be friendly and professional. Each bio should clearly state what I do and include a call to action.

Here is my key information:

Step 3: Use the Prompt in Claude

  1. Go to the Claude.ai website.
  2. Paste the "Magic" Prompt into the chat box.
  3. Replace the [Paste your key information here] part with your own list from Step 1.
  4. Hit Enter.

Step 4: Choose Your Favourite Bio

The AI will give you a few different options to choose from. Based on our example, it would generate something like this:

AI's Bio Options:

Option 1 (Direct & Friendly): Ben Dixon 👋 | Showing you how to use AI in your everyday life. Practical, simple guides for beginners. No jargon allowed! 👇 dixon.ai

Option 2 (Benefit-Focused): Helping you solve real-world problems with AI. I'm Ben, and I create easy-to-follow guides for anyone curious about artificial intelligence. Start learning at dixon.ai.

Option 3 (Short & Punchy): Your friendly guide to AI. I break down powerful tools into simple steps. ✨ Learn more at dixon.ai

Now you can simply pick the one that feels the most like "you" and paste it directly into your social media profiles.

Alternative Tools for This Recipe

  • ChatGPT: Great for generating bios with different levels of creativity and lots of emoji suggestions.
  • Google Gemini: Can be very good at creating bios that are slightly more professional, which might be perfect for a platform like LinkedIn.
