Your digital life, defined by you.

A little more you.
In one place.

Your work, interests and words might live all over the web. DefinedBy brings chosen pieces together in a personal introduction—with context from you and a way to say hello.

Come in. Meet Morgan.

A fictional introduction you can explore. No account needed.

Four illustrated instant photographs on a table: Morgan at the market, dinner with friends, a neighborhood hello and a repaired jacket. A pencil, key and note sit beside them.
A few pieces of a life. A person behind them.

Fictional example. Contact actions are simulated.

A little more of the person.
How this introduction was shared
A customer in yellow asks Morgan, the vendor in rose, about basil at the market.
A question at the market. A way to continue the conversation.

A possible hello / at the market

“Could I grow this
on my windowsill?”

A little advice becomes a conversation. Morgan shares this introduction, with a note to take home and a way to ask another question.

A fictional encounter. An ordinary reason to connect.

The same introduction, for people and assistants

Your words. Their meaning intact.

A little easier
to understand.

When someone asks their assistant about you, your own explanation should have a place in the answer. DefinedBy pairs your introduction with a structured record of the same chosen content.

It keeps your words, links and contribution together, and preserves the detail you supply about dates and sources. It does not add a hidden profile, turn an opinion into a verified fact, or include private drafts and People notes.

The record below comes from the same Morgan example you see above. It includes JSON-LD using standard Person, ProfilePage and content types. You can read it here or download the complete sample.

Readable does not mean guaranteed discovery or agreement. Other services decide what they access and how they interpret it. An introduction shared by link is still public; it can be forwarded or copied. Public readability is available in every plan and does not connect an assistant to your account.

A little or a lot. Still you.

A note from us

Good work has
a person behind it.

There’s the work you care about, the people you made it with, and the things you’re still learning. Those details deserve a place.

DefinedBy is being built around a simple idea: you should have a say in the account of you that other people—and their assistants—read. Something useful when you need it, and happy to wait when you don’t.

Your digital life, defined by you.
