Update my bio
Bios age quietly - the residency from three years ago is still the headline, and the thing you’re proudest of isn’t mentioned. On a bernard-hosted site, updating it is a conversation, not a rewrite session in a page editor.
The prompt
“Update my bio on the About page: [what’s changed - new achievements, residencies, awards, where you’re based now]. Keep the rest as it is.”
Signed in, Get my prompt fills in your site for you. Otherwise press Copy and fill in the [bracketed] parts. First time? Connect your AI to bernard once: Use your own AI (opens in a new tab).
How it works
- Connect bernard to your AI (once). Log in to bernard, open your site, go to Use your own AI, and paste the setup prompt into your AI to connect it - a one-time setup.
- Paste it into your AI - ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, whichever you already use - then tell it what’s changed in your own words, or use the prompt below.
- Approve. The AI sends back a preview link. Read the new bio as a visitor would, press Approve, and it’s live.
Just list the facts - the AI does the writing. And if the draft doesn’t sound like you, say so in the chat: “less formal”, “don’t mention the degree first” - it revises until you’re happy, and only then do you approve.
Questions people ask
- How do I update the About page on my website?
- If your site is hosted with bernard, tell the AI you already use - ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini - what’s changed and it weaves it into your existing bio. Nothing goes live until you read the new version on a preview page and press Approve.
- Can the AI rewrite my whole bio from scratch?
- Yes - tell it the facts and the tone you want (‘warmer’, ‘shorter’, ‘third person’) and it drafts a fresh one. You can go back and forth in the chat until it sounds like you, then approve.
- Will it change my bio everywhere it appears?
- Ask it to - if a shorter version of your bio appears on the home page or elsewhere, the AI reads every page and keeps them consistent.
