What does AI say when someone asks “who is [your name]?”
Before a meeting, a deal or a hire, people now ask ChatGPT who you are. The answer might be right, thin, out of date, or about someone else with your name. You can check it in two minutes, and you can fix it.
Who is asking AI about you?
Anyone who is about to trust you. An investor before your pitch. A buyer before signing. A journalist before an interview. A great candidate before saying yes.
They do not tell you they did it. They just arrive with an opinion, and AI helped shape it.
How do I check what AI says about me?
Open ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity and ask these, one by one:
- “Who is [your full name]?”
- “Who is [your full name], [your job] at [your company]?”
- “Who founded [your company]?”
- “Is [your full name] a good person to do business with?”
What usually goes wrong?
When we check names, we usually find one of these problems.
- Nothing: AI says it does not know you
- The wrong person: someone else with the same name
- Old facts: a job you left years ago
- Missing wins: the companies you built or sold are not linked to you
- A bad story: one old negative article, repeated with no balance
Why does your name matter for your company?
AI links people and companies together. When AI knows a founder well, it trusts the company more, and the other way round. A strong personal brand helps your company get named, and a known company makes your name easier to find.
How do I fix it?
Give AI one clear, true story about you, told the same way everywhere.
- Write one short bio with your full name, role, company and biggest wins
- Use it on LinkedIn, your company site, X and every speaker or podcast page
- Link your name to every company you built, with the same company names each time
- Add a simple “about the founder” page with schema labels that tell AI who you are
- Earn a few interviews or articles on trusted sites, with your name in them
- Fix wrong facts where they start, so AI stops repeating them
How long does it take?
Fixing your own profiles takes days. AI picking up the change usually takes weeks to a few months, because it has to find the new pages first. Check every month and keep a record.
