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.
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.
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.”
The [bracketed] parts are yours to fill in. First time? Connect bernard to your AI over MCP — a one-time setup in bernard → your site → Use your own AI — then paste the prompt above.
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.
