Write a bio that tells people why to follow you
A bio answers three questions in seconds: who are you, what do you offer, why should I follow or contact you? You will write versions for different platforms and check them against real character limits.
You will practise
- Writing a who/what/proof bio formula
- Fitting platform character limits
- Adding one clear call to action
1Brief
Specific answers make better results — with or without AI.
2Make
Pick a route. The template gives you a structure with
[[blanks]]to fill in yourself. Your own key drafts it for you — then you still check it.See the exact prompt — copy it into any AI chat you already use
3Check
The same rules run on every draft, human or AI. Most first drafts fail something — that is the point.
4Improve
Fix one item at a time, then check again. Notice which fixes made it better — that is the skill.
- Run the check first.
5Ship
Use it for real: send it, post it or save it. Record what happened — that is your evidence of learning.

Pro moves
- Your bio is a signpost, not a CV.
- Update it when your offer changes.
- Use the same core sentence across platforms for recognition.
Questions people ask
What are the bio character limits?
At the time of writing: Instagram about 150, TikTok about 80, X 160, WhatsApp Business about 139. Platforms change limits, so check yours when you paste.
Should I put a link in my bio?
Yes, if it goes somewhere useful — a booking page, catalogue or WhatsApp chat.
Do I need an AI key to use this?
No. The guided template teaches the same skill with no AI at all. If you add your own free key (Groq, Google Gemini, OpenRouter, Mistral or Cerebras), the tool can also draft and revise. The key stays in your browser and requests go straight to that provider.
Where is my work saved?
In this browser only (local storage), until you copy or download it. Nothing you type is sent to Open Practice.
