Hi Reader,
​

There’s a trend where people ask ChatGPT: What do I look like?

Beyond the fun of seeing an image rendered, what struck me was how much it reveals about your personal brand—how you show up through your words, vibe, and energy.
​
It’s a surprisingly powerful brand exercise.

It took four tries to get an image that felt close to me.
​
Which, to be fair, wasn’t the point. The AI was offering a poetic interpretation—not an exact likeness.

But of course… I had to see how close it could get. 😄
​

​
On my first try, here is what it spit out.

​
​Pretty cool, I thought. ​
​
But here’s the thing—this prompt is more than just fun.

It’s a surprisingly insightful brand exercise.

Now, a quick caveat: you might need to prompt a few times to get something that feels true to you. ChatGPT even admits it can make mistakes—so don’t expect perfection right out of the gate.

✨ Still, here’s what this exercise can reveal about your personal brand:

• Your brand vibe​
  Are you coming across as bold, nurturing, spiritual, quirky, elegant? The language it uses can reflect the energy you’re putting into your content.
  ​
• Your visual identity cues​
  Words like flowy, minimalist, colorful, or edgy can spark ideas for your next photoshoot, wardrobe choices, or brand colors.
  ​
• How your audience might feel about you​
  Are you coming across clearly? Or sending mixed signals? It’s a great gut check to help tighten your messaging.
  ​
• Whether your digital presence matches who you really are​
  If the description feels totally off, it might be time to realign your brand strategy or storytelling.
  ​
• A jumping-off point for your next shoot or bio​
  Some words it used for me could easily become captions, taglines, or mood board inspo for future content.

If you're curious to try this, I wrote a blog post walking through the step-by-step prompts and shared all four image renderings. I also made a featured image using some of the language from the very first output which was fun!

And if you do try it, I’d love to hear what ChatGPT says about you.

Was it way off? Surprisingly accurate? A little weird but still helpful? Hit reply and tell me!
