Write an Introduction That Does Not Brag
Added 2026-10-31
Use what you did, what you are good at, what you are doing instead of adjectives.
I need a 100-word introduction for prospective partners. I will give my background. Write: 1) one line on what I do now, specific to a product or service; 2) one line on the kind of problem I have solved, with a verifiable example; 3) one line on who I want to work with; 4) remove adjectives and empty phrases like "years of experience"; 5) give a 50-word fallback version.

How to use
别人记住的是你解决过什么问题。
Try tweaking it
- Ask for three openings in different tones, then pick one.
- Replace "make it better" with concrete limits: length, reader, facts to keep.
What you should get
- A publishable draft, not an outline
- A short changelog: what changed and why
Common mistakes
- Letting it guess the facts, so plausible-looking sources get invented.
- Dumping the whole text with just "polish it" — the result still has no point.
How to check the output
- The conclusion comes first; deleting the opening paragraph does not break it.
- Every fact, number and quote traces back to the source text.
Where it works
- Good for: turning a rambling draft into a conclusion-first, shorter version.
- Watch out: keep sources and figures verbatim — do not let it invent citations.
