Profile Setup

Setting Up Your Individual Profile

7 min read

Overview

Your Individual Profile is your personal digital identity on Savantly. It's the foundation of your public profile page, visible to anyone who visits https://[your-username].savantly.ai. A complete, well-crafted profile builds trust, improves search visibility, and gives your AI agent the context it needs to represent you accurately.

Navigating to Your Profile

  1. Sign in to your dashboard at app.savantly.ai.
  2. In the left sidebar, under Savantly Profile, click Profile.

Profile Sections

Basic Information

Fill in the core details about yourself:

  • Full Name — Your display name as it appears publicly
  • Tagline — A short, memorable phrase that captures what you do (e.g., "Full-stack engineer helping startups ship faster")
  • Bio — A richer description of who you are, your expertise, and what you offer. Use the rich text editor to format with headings, bullet points, and links.
  • Profile Photo / Avatar — Upload a professional headshot. Supported formats: JPG, PNG. Recommended size: 400×400px or larger.

Contact & Location

  • Email — Your public contact email (can differ from your login email)
  • Phone — Optional public phone number
  • Location — City, state, and/or country
  • Website URL — Link to your personal website or portfolio
  • Calendly URL — Paste your Calendly booking link here to let visitors schedule meetings directly from your profile

Social Links

Connect your presence across platforms. Adding these links displays social icons on your public profile:

  • LinkedIn
  • Twitter / X
  • GitHub
  • Instagram
  • YouTube
  • Facebook

Specializations

Add keywords or phrases that describe your expertise (e.g., "React Developer", "Brand Strategy", "Data Science"). These help with:

  • Search discoverability on the platform
  • AI content generation (the AI uses your specializations to generate more relevant content)
  • Profile recommendation algorithms

Hero Section

The hero section is the top banner of your public profile page. Customize it with:

  • Hero image — Upload a wide banner image or generate one with AI
  • Hero title — A prominent headline (defaults to your name if left blank)
  • Hero subtitle — A supporting line of text
  • Call-to-action button — Label and link (e.g., "Book a Call → [your Calendly link]")
Tip: Use the Generate with AI button next to the hero section to automatically create a compelling headline and subtitle based on your bio and specializations.

Color Scheme

Personalize your profile's visual brand:

  • Primary color — Main brand color (used for buttons, highlights)
  • Secondary color — Supporting color
  • Accent color — Used for interactive elements
  • Background color — Page background
  • Text color — Main body text color

Click any color swatch to open the color picker, or enter a hex code directly.

  1. Navigate to Manage Content → Education in the sidebar.
  2. Click Add Education.
  3. Fill in:
  • Institution name
  • Degree / Qualification
  • Field of study
  • Start and end dates (or mark as current)

Profile Visibility

Control who can see your profile:

  • Public — Anyone can view your profile page (default)
  • Private — Only you can view your profile (useful during setup)

Toggle visibility from the profile settings or the Settings → Privacy page.

Choosing Your Template

Your profile template controls the overall layout and design of your public page.

  1. Go to Savantly Profile → My Template.
  2. Browse available templates and preview each one.
  3. Click Apply on your preferred template.

Templates are fully styled and optimized for mobile. Your content is reused across templates — switching templates never deletes your content.

Customizing Your Layout

For fine-grained control over section order and visibility:

  1. Go to My Template → Layout Configurator (or navigate to /layout-configurator).
  2. Drag and drop sections to reorder them on your public page.
  3. Toggle individual sections on or off.
  4. Click Save Layout.

Publishing Your Profile

Your profile is published and accessible by default. To verify:

  1. Click View Public Profile (the external link icon at the top of the sidebar or dashboard).
  2. Your public URL is https://[your-username].savantly.ai.
  3. Share this link anywhere — email signatures, LinkedIn bio, business cards, etc.

Tips for a Stand-Out Profile

  • Write a bio in first person — It feels more personal and authentic
  • Upload a real headshot — Profiles with photos receive significantly more engagement
  • Add your Calendly link — Makes it effortless for visitors to book time with you
  • Keep specializations specific — "Machine Learning Engineer" converts better than "Tech"
  • Generate your hero section with AI — The AI produces compelling copy in seconds
  • Add at least 3 portfolio items — Demonstrates your work concretely
