About Me API

A centralized "about me" service that provides a single URL for AI tools and applications to fetch user profile data.

🎯 The Problem

In this AI era, you constantly need to provide context about yourself:

• When using new AI tools or chatbots
• When building demo portfolio sites
• When sharing your info across platforms

About Me API solves this by giving you a single URL that returns all your information in a structured format.

✨ Features

• Single URL for AI Context: Give any AI tool your personal API endpoint
• Progressive Profile Builder: Fill in your details, then sign up to save
• Versioned Assets: Upload multiple profile images, use "v1" or "v2" as needed
• Analytics Dashboard: Track who's accessing your profile API
• Privacy Controls: Choose what's public vs private
