Guide · sharing your proxy
Where to put your “Ask my proxy” link
Put it wherever someone decides whether to contact you: the top of your résumé, your LinkedIn profile, your email signature, your social bios, your portfolio, and the end of proposals and pitch decks. Use the full address, askproxy.ai/yourname, and say what it does: “Ask my proxy about my work.”
A proxy only answers the people who find it. Each spot below takes a minute to set up. The platform details were checked in October 2026.
Word it so people know what happens
Don’t assume people know what a proxy is, and “AI” alone tells them nothing. Say what the click does:
- Questions about my work? Ask my proxy: askproxy.ai/yourname
- Ask my proxy anything about my background: askproxy.ai/yourname
- Hiring? Paste your job link into my proxy for a fit read: askproxy.ai/yourname
Keep the full address visible rather than hiding it behind a shortener. The address itself tells people whose proxy it is.
Your résumé
Put it in the header, next to your email and phone: Questions about my work: askproxy.ai/yourname. Write the address out in full so it still works on paper, and make it a live link in the PDF. A recruiter with your résumé open is exactly who the job-link fit read was built for.
- Contact info. Add it as one of your websites. LinkedIn allows up to three.
- Featured. Add it as a link, with one line on what it does. Visitors must be signed in to LinkedIn to see Featured items, so don’t rely on this spot alone.
- About. End the section with one line and the address.
- Custom button. Some Premium Business, Sales Navigator and Recruiter Lite subscribers can add a profile button such as “Visit my website.” It isn’t offered to every Premium member, and adding it replaces your Services section.
Your email signature
Add one line under your name: Ask my proxy: askproxy.ai/yourname. In Gmail, go to Settings, then See all settings, then General, then Signature. Create a new signature, add the link with the formatting bar, and click Save Changes. Every email you send then carries a way to learn more without writing back.
Social bios
- Instagram allows up to five links on a profile, added from Edit profile in the app. Put your proxy first.
- X has a Website field in Edit profile. Use it for your proxy, or add the address to your bio.
- TikTok shows a website link only on personal accounts with at least 1,000 followers, or on verified business accounts, per TikTok’s account types page.
- A link-in-bio page. If you already use one, put the proxy at the top. How the two differ: AskProxy vs. a Linktree chatbot.
Your portfolio or personal site
Link it near the top of the page, and again at the end of each case study: Questions about this project? Ask my proxy. The end of a case study is where follow-up questions come up, and a portfolio can’t answer them. Your proxy can, from what you told it about that project.
Proposals, pitch decks and cover letters
End with one line and the address. A client comparing proposals can ask about similar work you’ve done before replying. An investor can ask about your track record before the meeting. A hiring manager can paste the job link before deciding to call.
The spots people forget
- Speaker and author bios. Conference pages and articles you write often end with a short bio. Add one line with the address.
- Your out-of-office reply. Whoever writes while you’re away can still get answers about your work.
- Community profiles. Slack and Discord groups, alumni directories, and freelance marketplaces that allow outside links.
- Old pages that still show up for your name. A dormant personal site or an old profile can point people to the proxy.
Tailor the link to one role
When you apply for a specific job, add ?role= and a few words to the end of your address, like askproxy.ai/yourname?role=product+designer. Your proxy shows a “Viewing as” label with that role and leads with your most relevant work. Use a fresh one for each application or client pitch.
Inside AI assistants
Some of the people evaluating you work in Claude or ChatGPT. Share your MCP address alongside your proxy’s link, askproxy.ai/yourname/mcp, so their assistant can ask your proxy directly. Setup for both is in your proxy now answers inside ChatGPT and Claude.
Before you share the link widely, make sure the answers hold up. What to give your proxy so it actually knows your work covers the sources that matter.
See one in the wild: mine goes under my name in first emails, and it opens askproxy.ai/christopher. Yours is free to build, with no credit card: askproxy.ai.
Questions people ask
Should my proxy link replace my portfolio link?
No. Use both, with the proxy first if you have to pick an order. Your proxy shows your projects too, and it answers the questions a portfolio can’t.
What should the link text say?
Say what it does. “Ask my proxy about my work” is enough. Keep the full address visible so people know where it goes.
Can I make a link for one specific job?
Yes. Add ?role= and the role to your address, like askproxy.ai/yourname?role=product+designer. Your proxy shows that role and leads with your most relevant work.
Is it OK to put an AI link on a résumé?
Yes, as long as it’s clear what it is. A proxy is openly an AI that answers about you, never as you, so a recruiter knows exactly what they’re asking.
