What to write in an Instagram bio

Write an Instagram bio that makes people follow, not just glance. Fill in your details below, copy the prompt, and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini.

Instagram bios that just list job titles: "Marketing manager | Coffee lover | Dog mom," tell visitors what the person does but not why they should follow. The bio has 150 characters and a few seconds to convert a profile visit into a follow, and "dog mom" does not accomplish that.

A bio that grows followers uses the limited space to answer the question "what do I get from following this person?" It leads with the content, not the credentials, includes a relevant keyword for search, and ends with a clear call to action. Every character earns its place.

Tell the AI who you are or what your account is about, who you are writing for, what you post, what you want people to do, and any relevant links or keywords. The AI gives you a bio that is punchy, specific, and designed to convert profile visitors into followers.

Fill in your details

Your prompt

Help me write an Instagram bio. Here are my details:

Who I am or what my account is about: [IDENTITY]
Who I am writing for: [AUDIENCE]
What I post or what I am known for: [CONTENT]
What I want people to do after reading: [CTA]

Write an Instagram bio that: uses the 150-character limit effectively, says what the account is about in the first line, includes a relevant keyword, tells visitors what they get by following, and ends with a CTA. Punchy and specific.

Copy this prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or any AI tool.

Tips for writing this

  • 1Use your name field for a keyword as well as your name. It gets indexed in search.
  • 2Change your CTA regularly. "New recipe every week" or a current offer outperforms static copy.
  • 3Emojis can work as visual breaks, but every one should earn its place.

Common questions

How long should an Instagram bio be?+

Under 150 characters (Instagram enforces this). The best bios feel shorter than they are. Cut until every word is necessary.

How do I use this prompt?+

Fill in your details using the form above. The placeholders in the prompt update live as you type. When you are ready, click “Copy prompt” and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or any AI tool. The AI will write something personalized to your specific situation.

Which AI tool works best for this?+

Claude and ChatGPT both work well. Claude tends to produce more natural, nuanced writing for personal situations. ChatGPT is strong for structured business and professional writing. Try both and keep the version that sounds more like you.

Should I use the AI output word for word?+

Use it as a strong first draft, then edit it to sound like you. The AI gives you the structure and language to work from. Reading it out loud is one of the best ways to catch anything that does not feel natural in your voice.
