How it works

Four steps, one screen. The app above is already open on your About.

  1. Type the job and your skillsThe job you do or the one you want, and the skills you want to be found for. Load your LinkedIn PDF or resume instead and the writer also gets your roles and the lines with numbers.
  2. Paste the About you haveOr leave it empty. It gets a mark out of 10 from nine checks while you type, and you see what shows before “see more” on a computer and on a phone.
  3. Pick a tone and a lengthWarm, direct or formal; short, medium or long. Say what it should mention in the notes box (a result, what you enjoy, what you want next), then press Write my About.
  4. Check it, fill the blanks, copyA skill or number you never wrote is flagged; a number only you know is a [blank]. Use this puts the draft in the box with its mark; Copy it into About on LinkedIn.

A worked example, checked by the page

This is the page’s own sample profile (press See a sample in the app above to open it): an operations analyst who wants a supply chain data analyst job, with one job post pasted. The marks and notes below are what the nine checks return, word for word. No AI was used for either card.

After: rewritten with the fixes

I am an operations analyst who turns delivery data into fewer late shipments, and I want to do that full time as a supply chain data analyst. At Northwind Logistics I report every week on delivery times for 14 warehouses. I built an Excel model that cut late shipments by 18%, and I work with the BI team on the SQL data pipeline behind those reports. Before that I was an operations coordinator at Contoso Retail. I hold a bachelor's degree from the University of Texas at Dallas. Skills: SQL, Excel, reporting, delivery-time analysis. I am open to supply chain data analyst roles. Message me here on LinkedIn.

The second About uses only facts already on the sample profile: the 14 warehouses, the Excel model and the 18% fewer late shipments, the SQL pipeline, the earlier job and the school. In the app, Write my About drafts one from the same facts with AI in the tone and length you pick, and it gets its own mark the moment you press Use this.

What makes a LinkedIn About section work: the nine checks

The nine checks add up to 20 points, shown as a mark out of 10. In the full review the About is 20 of the 100 points of the profile score.

  • Written (3 points). An empty About gives search and readers nothing. Under 40 words counts half.
  • Long enough to be found (3). 100 words or more counts in full; aim for 100 to 350. LinkedIn allows 2,600 characters.
  • Strong first lines (4). Only the start shows before “see more”: about 265 characters on a computer and 150 on a phone (estimates; LinkedIn changes it by screen). Say who you are and what you are good at, with your job title, not a greeting or a cliché.
  • Proof with numbers (3). Two sentences that carry a number: how many, how much, how fast.
  • Skills named (3). Three or more real skills inside sentences or a short Skills line. With a job post pasted, the check becomes “Keywords from the jobs”: the ones the post asks for. A skill repeated four times, or a pile of keywords with no sentences, costs points.
  • Written as you (1). First person, with “I”. A profile is not a resume, and third person reads as if someone else wrote it.
  • Short paragraphs (1). Two or three sentences each, with a blank line between; a wall of text is skipped on a phone.
  • Ends with a next step (1). What you are open to next, or how to reach you.
  • No buzzwords, hashtags or emoji (1). “Passionate professional”, “proven track record”: swap each for a fact that shows it.

Summary, About or bio: one box, and what goes in it

The profile page calls it About. The file LinkedIn makes with Save to PDF still heads it Summary, and most people just say bio. It is the same box, with the same 2,600 characters.

The draft follows one shape, and you can use it to write your own:

  1. Two opening sentences that say who you are and what you are good at, with your job title. They decide whether anyone presses “see more”.
  2. What you do and for whom, with one or two results that have a number.
  3. Your main skills as a short list, only ones you really use.
  4. What you want next, or how to reach you.

Lengths: short is 600 to 900 characters, medium 1,000 to 1,500, long 1,600 to 2,200. The draft is told never to add a team size, years or any figure you did not give it and to write a [blank] instead, and the page flags any number you never wrote.

Questions people ask

What is the difference between the LinkedIn summary and the About section?

None: it is the same box. LinkedIn's profile page calls it About, the Save to PDF file heads it Summary, and many people call it the bio. It holds up to 2,600 characters.

How long should my LinkedIn About section be?

Aim for 100 to 350 words. That gives search more of your words to match and gives the reader proof, while staying short enough to read on a phone. The page counts words and characters as you type, and LinkedIn allows 2,600 characters.

Should I write my LinkedIn summary in first person or third person?

First person. LinkedIn is not a resume, so write it the way you would say it, with "I". One of the nine checks looks for that, and the draft is always in first person.

What should a student or fresher write in the About section?

What you study and the job you are aiming for, one or two projects or internships with a result, the skills you used in them, and what you want next. Put the project facts in the notes box and the draft uses them instead of inventing any.

Can it write my LinkedIn summary from my resume?

Yes. Press Review the whole profile, then Start from my resume. Your PDF or Word resume is read in your browser, and the About writer uses its job titles, skills and the lines that have numbers.

What should the first lines of my LinkedIn About say?

Who you are and what you are good at, with your job title, in under about 265 characters. That is roughly what shows before "see more" on a computer (an estimate; phones show less), so a greeting or "I am a passionate professional" wastes it.

Is this LinkedIn summary and bio generator free?

Yes, with no account. The checks, the marks, the previews and the edit boxes are free with no limit. The AI buttons have a small free daily allowance per connection, and everything else keeps working without them.

Will the AI invent skills, numbers or a team size?

It is told to use only your facts, and the page checks it anyway: a skill you never wrote and a number you never wrote are highlighted and named next to the button, which then reads Use it anyway. Where a number would help, you get a [blank], and Copy waits until every blank is filled.

Is my profile stored?

Your profile is read and checked in your browser, and your reviews are saved in this browser, with a delete button. Only the AI buttons send anything, and only what the note next to them names. The boxes you send to the AI and its drafts are kept by ClapAssist, so our other tools can fill them in for you; see or delete them at clapassist.com/my-data/. If you ask the AI about your profile photo, the photo itself is never kept.
