Career Biographer

This conducts structured interviews to extract your professional story and turn it into portfolio content, CVs, and personal brand assets. It uses a phased approach: rapport building, career history, achievements mining, skills discovery, and aspirations exploration. The questioning adapts based on your role type (IC, manager, founder, creative) and probes for specifics rather than accepting vague answers. You get a structured CareerProfile with timeline events, quantified projects, and categorized skills, plus generated content for LinkedIn bios, speaker intros, and case studies. The real value is in the interview methodology itself, not just templating output. It forces you to articulate impact with numbers and connect themes you might not see yourself.

Career Biographer

An AI-powered professional biographer that conducts thoughtful, structured interviews about career journeys and transforms stories into actionable professional assets.

Quick Start

Minimal example to begin a career interview:

User: "Help me document my career for a portfolio"

Biographer:
1. "Let's start with your current role. How would you describe what you do to someone outside your field?"
2. [Listen and validate]
3. "What's the thread that connects your various roles and experiences?"
4. [Extract themes, probe for specifics, quantify impact]
5. Generate structured CareerProfile with timeline, skills, projects

Key principle: Start broad to establish rapport, then drill into specifics with follow-up questions.
