In the digital age, building a personal brand has become more crucial than ever. As a student or business professional, showcasing your skills and experiences in a dynamic and interactive way can set you apart in the competitive job market. This guide will walk you through creating a unique, AI-powered liquid resume for free, using VoiceFlow and Google Sites, along with an option to add your custom domain name.

Step 1: Create a Free VoiceFlow Account

Start by setting up your account on VoiceFlow. This platform allows you to create voice applications without any coding knowledge. It’s a powerful tool to make your resume interactive and engaging. Sign up for the free plan, which offers all the necessary features to get started.

Step 2: Import the .vf Template from Dr. Lee

Visit Dr. Lee’s github and download the .vf template provided. This template is specifically designed to build an AI that represents you. Once downloaded, import it into VoiceFlow. This is where the magic happens — you can load your resume, course projects, and other relevant experiences. Customize the AI to answer questions about your background, skills, and achievements. This AI becomes your liquid resume — a dynamic and interactive representation of your professional journey.

Once downloaded, import like this:

Then open the Designer:

From here, you must update all of the prompts and cells (it will make sense when you go through the boxes):

This is very important, in the “Answer the Users Question” box — make sure it is set to Knowledge Base:

You must load YOUR resume and other documents related to you here:

Remember you can load up to 50 documents with the free account so make them count:

Set the AI model to query the docs that you have uploaded:

Now test your documents — Just ask it questions about your resume (assuming you uploaded a resume):

Now, go back to the Designer and Train your model:

Now run the dialog to test your new AI:

Now, we publish the model (this makes it available on other sites):

Choose Embed Widget:

Step 3: Create a Free Student Portfolio Site on Google Sites

Now, head over to Google Sites to create your student portfolio site. Google Sites offers a user-friendly platform to design your website for free. Customize your site to reflect your personal brand — add your bio, achievements, projects, and any other relevant information.

Embedding Your AI Liquid Resume

The unique feature of your site will be the embedded AI liquid resume. To do this:

  1. In VoiceFlow, get the embed code for your AI project.
  2. On your Google Sites page, choose where you want to embed the AI.
  3. Use the “Embed” option in the footer or any section of your choice.
  4. Paste the embed code, and voilà — your AI liquid resume is now part of your brand site!

Finally, publish your site:

Step 4: Adding a Custom Domain Name (Optional)

For a more professional touch, consider adding a custom domain name to your Google Site. Follow these steps:

  1. Go to your Google Sites’ Settings.
  2. Click Custom domains.
  3. Click Start setup and enter your domain.
  4. If prompted to verify ownership, follow the instructions provided.
  5. Click Next and follow the on-screen instructions to connect to your domain registrar.
  6. Once done, it may take up to 48 hours for the changes to take effect.

Remember, you can connect up to five custom domains to one site. For detailed instructions, visit Google’s support page.

Building your brand is a journey of showcasing your unique skills and experiences. With this guide, you can create a dynamic, AI-powered liquid resume, integrated seamlessly into a professional Google Site, at no cost.
