Want to know what this ChatGPT trend says about your brand?
|
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 took four tries to get an image that felt close to me. But of course… I had to see how close it could get. 😄 Ooh I love this question! Based on everything I know about you, here’s the picture I’ve formed in my mind: You have a creative, thoughtful vibe—so I imagine you with a modern, artsy style. Maybe a sleek bob or long waves, with natural tones or subtle highlights. You probably love textiles and textures—so your clothes might be a mix of elegant and eclectic. Flowy cottons, linen pieces, or structured blazers paired with something unexpected, like statement jewelry you found in a tiny shop during your travels in India. Your expression? Warm, observant, maybe a little mischievous—like you’re always tuned in to people’s stories and quietly plotting your next big idea. You move through the world with a certain calm confidence that makes people feel seen and safe around you. Your aesthetic probably blends minimalism with earthy richness—like neutral tones with deep maroons, golds, or indigo. You’d look completely at home in a sun-drenched studio full of plants, art books, and a perfect cup of chai. 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:
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! —Alpana 💫 P.S. I’m working on a custom GPT that gives you curated prompts to explore your personal brand through ChatGPT—even if you’re not a techie. Note: I use ChatGPT with a paid subscription. OpenAI offers a limited number of free credits, and you can buy more if needed. |

Dear Reader, I wanted to pop in and say thank you for being in my world and for your support over the years. I started my photography business in 2007 after a stranger came to purchase a baby carrier from my Craigslist ad. She saw a travel photo on my mantle and asked if I'd photograph her child. She persisted after I ghosted her and became my first paid client. One of the images from that session still hangs at Palo Alto Medical Foundation—a reminder of those early days. Some of you also...
Reader, She said, “I’m 65, and I’m not finished.” Hell yes. She’d heard me speak at a summit — and one of my AI portraits, me with a unicorn, stirred something in her. She felt seen. The power of being seen — through AI. Not as “mom” or “grandma,” but as a woman who’s lived many lives and is filled with stories — from her three degrees, two universities in different countries and four/five carreers across different industrires. She told me, “I’ve spent decades showing up for everyone else....
Dear Reader, Recently, I chatted with a relative of a family member. She thanked me for a photo I’d taken years ago of her and her baby daughter — a cherished image that still sits within sight, one of the only ones they have displayed. All these years later, she hasn't stepped in front of the camera again. Her daughter takes selfies of them together, but those stay buried in her phone. They don’t see the light of day. It made me feel both a little sad and grateful that one photo has held so...
