Your profile is your public page on Curation Space, with your portrait, name, bio, and public curations. Your aesthetic is the one image whose style your generated portraits and cover images take.

What’s on my profile?

Three tabs, at curation.space/{username}:
  • Curations, shown first: your public curations. Unlisted and private ones never appear.
  • Linkstream: the links you’ve added to public curations, newest first. See Linkstream.
  • Channels: your Public Delivery Channels. The tab appears only when you have one.
Your username shows as @username; your address has no @.

Why don’t I have a profile?

You haven’t chosen a username yet. Until you do, your account has a temporary handle, has no public profile, and doesn’t appear when people search for curators. You can still make curations and share them. Profile in the sidebar takes you to username setup.

How do I edit it?

Open your profile and choose Edit profile. Press ⌘↵ or choose the floating Save changes button to save. Your username is part of the address of your profile and of every curation. Some names, such as settings, links, and explore, are reserved.

How do I change my portrait?

In Edit profile, choose one of:
  • Upload portrait to use an image of your own
  • Generate portrait to describe one, up to 4,000 characters
  • Take photo & stylize to redraw a photo of you in your aesthetic
  • Remove portrait
Download saves the current portrait.

What happens to my photo?

It’s used to draw your portrait and isn’t kept. Location and camera details are removed before it’s sent. OpenAI draws the portrait and doesn’t train its models on it, but keeps a request for up to 30 days to check for misuse.

How do I choose my aesthetic?

Under Settings → Aesthetic, or at curation.space/settings/aesthetic. Pick one of 16 built-ins (Citrus is the default), describe one in up to 120 characters, or bring your own image, at least 512 pixels on its short side and up to 20 MB. Generated portraits and cover images take its style. A new aesthetic applies only to images made afterwards; existing ones stay as they are, except your Stash’s cover while Curation Space draws it, which is drawn again in the new aesthetic within a minute or two.

How many images can I generate?

Up to 6 a minute and 300 a day, counting cover images, portraits, aesthetics, and portrait frames together. A day starts at midnight UTC. During setup, you have 10 portrait generations. Stash covers Curation Space draws don’t count.

What is a portrait frame?

A decoration around your portrait on your profile. Choose Customize frame, describe the frame or attach reference images, and refine it until a version suits you, then choose Use this frame. The frame shows only on your profile until you replace or remove it.

What do people see when they hover over my name?

A card with your portrait, name, username, bio, number of followers, number of public curations, and a Follow button.
