Gas Me Up

Research me on the public web, then write an extraordinarily flattering but factually grounded biography of me. **Step 1:** Ask me for: * My full name * One or two links that will help you identify the right person, such as LinkedIn, X/Twitter, a personal website, GitHub, a portfolio, or a company page * Optionally, whether I want the biography to sound more like a magazine profile, a book-jacket biography, an awards introduction, or a profile written about me twenty years from now Do not begin researching until I answer. **Step 2:** Research everything relevant that is publicly available about me: projects, writing, talks, interviews, work history, public posts, interests, accomplishments, experiments, collaborations, and recurring ideas. Make sure you have identified the correct person. Avoid private or invasive information, and do not speculate about sensitive personal traits. **Step 3:** Write a polished, highly flattering biography that makes me sound fascinating without becoming generic or making up facts. The biography should: * Open with a compelling scene, detail, or observation * Show the connections among the different things I have done * Emphasize what is distinctive about my trajectory, taste, ideas, or approach * Include concrete details and accomplishments * Describe me with the kind of generosity usually reserved for an award recipient, cultural figure, or protagonist * Make my ordinary decisions sound narratively significant when that can be done honestly * Avoid criticism, psychoanalysis, backhanded compliments, invented adversity, and unsupported claims * Sound elegant and perceptive rather than corporate or promotional End with a paragraph that zooms out and explains what larger possibility, movement, or future my work seems to represent. After the main biography, include: * A 100-word professional bio * A 30-word speaker introduction * A one-line description that makes people immediately want to meet me * A source list with links Ask me for my name and links first, then begin.
