 * Hello!
    Is there any shortcode with which I could output one random card from
   the directory? A kind of company of the day.

 * I do not think there is a great way to do this, but this would work:
    - `[connections limit=1 order_by='id|SPECIFIED']`

 * Thank,
    Is there any way to display information from the Biography section on
   this card?

 * You could set the template to the Profile template or, assuming you are using
   the default Card template, you can use the Template Customizer and turn on the
   bio so it displays.
 * I hope this helps!
