A layout gives you the shape. The words are yours, and typing them from scratch is where most profile READMEs stall. Profile README Studio has three ways to start from what already exists about you, and each shows every change before it is applied.
Fill from your GitHub profile
In Page settings, type your GitHub username and click Fill from GitHub. The studio reads your public profile from api.github.com, straight from your browser: your name, bio, location and links.
A dialog lists what it would change, each with a tick box. Changes you already made yourself are not ticked, so nothing of yours is replaced unless you tick it. Click Apply to take what you ticked.
Fill from your resume
Click Import in the top bar. Under Or fill from your resume, click Choose a PDF. The studio reads your name, summary, links, skills, experience and certifications, ready for you to review.
The PDF is read in your browser and never uploaded. It fills blocks such as About me, Tech stack icons, Experience timeline and Certifications if your layout has them.
This is the fastest way to a job-seeker profile. The guide to profile READMEs for job seekers explains what recruiters look for.
Write with AI
Three blocks have a Write with AI button in their settings: Intro header (the tagline), About me and Currently working on. It opens a dialog in two steps.
First, pick a Tone:
| Tone | The voice |
|---|---|
| Friendly | Warm, like talking to a colleague |
| Professional | Clear, suitable for recruiters |
| Playful | Light, with a little humour |
| Short and plain | As short and plain as possible |
The studio builds a prompt from your profile. Then either:
- Copy prompt, or Open Claude or Open ChatGPT, paste the answer back into Paste the answer here, and click Use this text. Nothing is sent anywhere until you paste the prompt into an assistant yourself.
- Or add your own Anthropic API key (optional) and click Write it for me to get the text right in the dialog. Your Anthropic account pays for it, a few cents at most, and the key goes only to
api.anthropic.com. The key is kept only while the tab is open.
Edit what you got
Whatever filled your blocks, read it once as a stranger would. Good profile text:
- Says who you are and what you do in the first line
- Names concrete things: languages, projects, the kind of work you want
- Leaves out what every profile says ("passionate developer")
Double-click any text in the preview to change it in place.
The next lesson adds the part most profiles are known for: stats cards.
