Write your About page and team bios

Turn the facts about your company and the people behind it into an About page that explains who you are and why buyers can trust you, with team bios that sound like the real people they describe.

Key Takeaways

  1. To write an About page and team bios with AI, start from true, specific facts about your company and your people, and have the AI build the copy from those facts instead of from a blank prompt. Generic About pages come from missing facts, not bad writing.
  2. A good About page says who you serve and what you do for them, how you work, why a buyer can trust you, who is on the team, and what to do next.
  3. Kite researches your company and each team member's public professional profile, then asks you only for the details that research can't find, such as why the company started or a moment that shows how you work.
  4. Kite writes team bios around what each person does for customers and the experience that makes them good at it, and it leaves a clearly marked gap rather than inventing a credential, a client, or a founder story.
  5. Kite publishes the page on a site it hosts or through Webflow or WordPress once you approve it, and it updates the team section when people join or change roles.

Why your About page deserves real work

Your About page is where a buyer goes when they're close to a decision and want to know who they'd be dealing with. A founder checking out a new agency, a manager comparing two software vendors, and a restaurant owner choosing a bookkeeper all do the same thing: they click "About" to see whether real, competent people stand behind the website.

Most About pages give them very little. The page is a placeholder from the website template, or a paragraph about "passionate people dedicated to excellence," and the team section is missing because nobody got around to collecting photos and bios. That sends the opposite of the message you want.

The fix is rarely better adjectives. A generic About page is generic because it's written without facts. The good version names who you work with, describes how the work actually happens, and introduces people through what they've done. Most of those facts already exist somewhere: on your website, in your team's LinkedIn profiles, in what customers say about you, and in your own head.

That makes this a good job for an AI agent. An agent can gather the facts that are already public, ask you a short list of questions for the rest, and write the page from that material. Kite is an AI marketer. It researches your business, builds a growth strategy, and ships the work that brings you new customers. Here's how it handles your About page and team bios.

How Kite writes your About page and team bios

Kite starts with what it already knows. When you sign up, it researches your company in depth and saves what it learns about your positioning, products, customers, and brand voice in your team's knowledge base. For the About page, it adds research on each person you want to feature, using their public professional profiles.

Then Kite works out what's missing. A few things only you can supply, such as the reason the company started or a decision that shows what you care about. Kite asks for those in a short, specific list of questions rather than a blank "tell me about yourselves."

With the facts in hand, Kite plans the page, writes the company story and the team bios, and brings you a draft to review. Once you approve it, Kite publishes the page to your website, and it keeps the team section current as your team changes.

  1. Gather the facts that make the page specific
  2. What should a company About page include?
  3. Tell your company story with one real moment
  4. Write team bios that sound like real people
  5. Publish the page and keep it current

Gather the facts that make the page specific

The quality of an About page depends on the facts behind it, so Kite collects those first. It draws on three sources.

  • Your company research. Kite's knowledge base already holds your positioning, products, pricing, customers, competitors, and brand voice. It also holds what Kite found about your reputation, such as public reviews and press mentions.
  • Your team's public profiles. For each person you name, Kite looks up their public professional profile and reads their current and previous roles, education, skills, headline, and recent public posts. A designer who spent six years at a print shop before moving to web design has a far more interesting bio than "Head of Design."
  • Your answers. Kite asks a short list of questions about what research can't find. Typical ones are why you started the company, who your first customer was, what you do differently in practice, and what each person would want a customer to know about them.

You can also share material directly. Upload an old pitch deck, a founder's talk transcript, or the bios from a conference program, and Kite works those details into the draft.

What should a company About page include?

A company About page should answer the questions a buyer has about who they'd be working with. Kite plans the page around those questions and fits the sections to your business:

  • Who you serve and what you do for them. The opening states plainly who your customers are and what changes for them when they work with you.
  • How you work. A few operational specifics, such as how a project starts, how fast you respond, or what a customer gets each month. These show competence more convincingly than any adjective.
  • Why a buyer can trust you. Real proof, such as customer names you've been given permission to use, credentials your team holds, the years you've served a particular industry, or the results customers have described.
  • Your story, kept short. Why the company exists, told through one real moment rather than a long origin narrative.
  • Your team. The people a customer will meet or rely on, each with a photo and a bio.
  • What to do next. A clear next step, such as booking a call, seeing pricing, or reading a case study.

Kite changes the emphasis to suit your business. A law firm's About page leans on credentials and a calm explanation of process. A bakery's leans on the people, the place, and the daily routine. A software startup's often leans on why the founders built the product and who it's for.

Tell your company story with one real moment

Your company story works best as one true moment that shows what you value, placed next to the practical facts about how you work. Readers trust what someone did more than what they claim. "We turned down our biggest client in year two because they wanted us to cut the review step" says more about your standards than a paragraph on your commitment to quality.

Kite writes the story from what you've told it and what its research found. When your answers include a moment like that, such as a job you turned down, a refund you offered before anyone asked, or a process you changed after something went wrong, Kite gives it one or two sentences beside the facts about your work. When there's no such moment in the material, Kite keeps the page focused on what you do and how you do it. It won't invent a founder story, an award, or a turning point to fill the space.

Kite also writes in your brand voice. Your knowledge base holds your tone and the way your company talks, so a playful consumer brand and a careful financial adviser get very different About pages.

Write team bios that sound like real people

A good team bio tells a customer what this person does for them and why they're good at it, then adds one human detail. Kite writes each bio in that order.

The first sentence states the person's role in terms a customer understands. "Maya runs onboarding, so she's the person you'll talk to every week for your first two months" is more useful than "Maya is our Customer Success Lead." The next sentence or two give the experience that earns their place, drawn from their profile: the industries they've worked in, the kind of work they've done, or a credential they hold. Finally, Kite adds the personal detail the person chose to share, such as where they live, what they're reading, or what they did before this job.

Kite keeps the bios consistent with each other in length, tense, and point of view, so the team section reads as one page. It writes them in third person by default and switches to first person if that suits your brand. It can also produce more than one length for each person: a two-sentence version for a team grid, a fuller paragraph for an individual profile, and a short author bio for blog bylines.

When a bio needs a detail Kite doesn't have, such as a certification year or the name of a former employer, Kite leaves a clearly labeled gap in the draft and tells you which details it needs. It doesn't guess. Each person can then check their own bio, fill the gap, and approve the version that goes live.

Kite can also prepare the photos. Share the headshots your team already has, and Kite can remove the backgrounds so the team section looks consistent.

Publish the page and keep it current

Once you approve the draft, Kite publishes it to your website and keeps the team section up to date. How it publishes depends on where your site runs.

On a website Kite built and hosts, Kite adds or rewrites the About page and team section using your site's existing design. You can open a preview of the change before it goes live, and Kite publishes when you approve. Every new site Kite builds also has a content editor, so a teammate can fix a typo in their own bio and see it live right away.

If your site runs on Webflow, Kite rewrites the copy on your existing About page or adds a new team section built with your site's own styles. If your team members live in a Webflow CMS collection, Kite creates or updates the item for each person. It then tells you whether each change is staged or live. On WordPress.com, Kite creates the new About page and saves it as a draft or publishes it, whichever you prefer. On a self-hosted WordPress site, Kite updates each author's display name and bio, which appear on author pages and blog bylines, and gives you the About page copy to paste into the page.

The work doesn't end at launch. When someone joins, leaves, or changes roles, tell Kite and it updates the team section. You can also ask it to check the page on a schedule, such as once a quarter, against your knowledge base and your team's current profiles, and propose updates when something has changed. On a site Kite hosts, its built-in analytics show how many people visit your About page and whether they click its calls to action, so you can see whether the page is helping visitors take the next step.

How to get started

Sign up for Kite and tell it what you need in plain language. You can work with Kite in your browser or in Slack. You might say, "Our About page is one paragraph. Rewrite it and add a team section for the five of us," or "Write bios for our three founders that we can use on the site and on conference programs."

Kite comes back with a plan for the page and its questions for you. Answer what you can, and share any material you already have, such as old bios, a pitch deck, or headshots. If your teammates are on your Kite team, they can see the conversation and answer their own questions there.

Kite can research your company and your team's public profiles without any connected accounts. If your website runs on Webflow or WordPress, connect it when you're ready for Kite to publish.

Kite asks for your approval before it publishes the page. You can approve with the Publish button or with a reply in the conversation. Once you trust its work, you can give Kite more room to make routine updates, such as adding a new hire to the team section, on its own.

Integrations used to write your About page and team bios

Kite uses integrations for two jobs here: learning about the people on your team, and publishing the finished page on a website it doesn't host.

Research your team

LinkedIn (data)

Kite reads each team member's public LinkedIn profile, including current and past roles, education, skills, headline, and recent posts, to find the experience that belongs in their bio. This data is built into Kite, so you don't connect a LinkedIn account.

Common questions

How do I have AI write a bio for me?

Give the AI facts, not adjectives. Share your current role, what you do for the people you work with, two or three past roles or projects that explain your experience, and one personal detail you're comfortable sharing. Then say where the bio will appear, because a speaker bio, a website bio, and a LinkedIn summary each need a different length and tone. Kite can collect most of those facts from your public profile and asks you only for the rest.

How long should a team bio be?

A team bio on a grid of photos should be short enough to read at a glance, usually two or three sentences. A bio on its own profile page can run to a paragraph or two, which leaves room for experience and a personal detail. Kite writes both versions for each person so you don't have to cut a long bio down later.

Should a small company include its whole team on the About page?

Include the people a customer will meet or depend on. For a team of a few people, that's usually everyone, and showing the whole team makes a small company feel real rather than small. As you grow, many companies feature the founders and team leads on the About page and move everyone else to a separate team page. Kite can recommend the right approach once it knows who works with customers.

What if we're new and don't have customers or a long history yet?

An About page can earn trust without a long track record. Kite focuses on what you can show today: who you're building for, how you work, the relevant experience your team brings, and why you started. It won't fill the gap with invented customer logos or awards. As you win customers and collect results, Kite can add them to the page.

Can an agency use Kite to write About pages and bios for clients?

Yes. An agency can run a separate Kite team for each client, and each team keeps its own research, brand voice, and settings. That way each client's About page is built from that client's facts and written in that client's voice.
