Your LinkedIn About section has room for 2,600 characters: enough to explain what you do, who you help and what you want next. Many profiles fill it with resume bullet points instead. This AI LinkedIn bio generator turns a short brief about your experience, skills and goals into up to three draft summaries, in the tone and length you pick. Generating text requires a signed-in Social media studio account and uses AI caption credits from your plan or trial. Copy the draft that fits best, then edit it until it sounds like you.
What to put in your brief
This page opens the AI Writer with the LinkedIn bio task already selected. Its built-in instruction asks for a professional yet personal summary that highlights your experience, skills and goals, so give it material for all three.
In the brief (up to 5,000 characters), list your role and field, the people or companies you help, two or three results you are proud of, the skills you want to be known for and what you want next: a new job, clients, partners or a wider network. You can also paste your current About text as raw material.
The AI only knows what you write. It does not read your LinkedIn profile, open links or accept a resume upload, so include every fact you want in the draft. Then, in the optional settings, choose a tone (the default is Concise; Professional or Friendly suit most profiles) and a Short, Medium or Long length.
A simple structure for a LinkedIn About section
Strong About sections tend to follow the same order. First, a one- or two-sentence hook that names the problem you solve, not just your job title. Second, a short paragraph on who you help, named plainly. Third, a few concrete wins, with real numbers where you have them. Fourth, your why: what drives the work, in two or three honest sentences. Last, a clear next step, such as an invitation to message you about a topic, the roles you are open to or a link to your work.
You can ask for this order in your brief. Then read every draft against your own record before you post it. The AI cannot check facts, so if your brief has no numbers, don't let a draft supply any.
Make the first lines count
LinkedIn shows only the opening lines of your About section before the 'see more' link, and many readers stop there. Those first two or three sentences have to do the job on their own.
Lead with your most specific claim. 'I'm passionate about marketing' tells a reader nothing. 'I help early-stage B2B software companies find the one channel that actually brings in customers' tells them what you do and who you do it for in a single line.
When you compare the suggestions, judge them by their opening sentence first. If none of them leads with your strongest point, spell that point out in the brief and generate again.
Job seekers, founders and freelancers need different bios
Job seekers: open with the role you want, using the exact title recruiters search for, then back it up with proof from your recent work. Close with a plain line about the kinds of roles you are open to.
Founders: open with what your company does for its customers, not your title. Present yourself as the person solving their problem, and add a line on why you are building it.
Freelancers and consultants: lead with a sharp niche (a fractional CFO for seed-stage marketplaces says more than a finance consultant). Use the middle for client results instead of job history, and end with how to work with you.
Say which of these you are in the brief, along with your goal, so the drafts lead with the right thing.
What to cut from your About section
A few things rarely earn their space. 'I'm passionate about…' openers, which countless profiles share. Job history copied from your Experience section, which repeats what is already on the page. Lists of soft-skill buzzwords like 'strategic thinker' and 'team player', which readers skip. Hobbies with no link to your work, unless they genuinely set you apart. And vague endings like 'don't hesitate to get in touch', which give nobody a reason to message you.
AI drafts can slip into the same habits, so read each suggestion with this list in mind. You can name the phrases you want to avoid in your brief, and it is often faster to trim a good draft by hand than to generate again.
