I do NOT sell any products of my own. Watch out for scams.
What if you could create content, record ads, or build training videos without ever actually
having to record? That is the promise of AI avatars. And today, I'm creating my own digital
clone and showing you how to do the same so that you can create content better and faster
for your business, for your job, or for your creative endeavors. And who knows, maybe I'm AI
right now as you're watching this. Now, we've had a pretty good AI voice technology for a while now,
and that's something that we've reviewed on this channel in other videos. But AI avatars are a
whole nother ballgame. And that's because if you or me as an individual can replicate not just our
voice, but how we look, then that compresses the time and effort required for all the different
verticals across business where you need to have your voice or you as a person there. And you can
take that and have it done automatically or programmatically, or just with a lot less
manual human time and effort. Like maybe you're a creator, you post content on social media,
maybe like me. Well, what if for all the little mistakes or the edits or the things,
the line we forgot to say, what if we didn't have to go back and reshoot that every time? That's an
enormous amount of time and money saved. And there was something that the diary of a CEO host said
recently, which was that he has a team within his business that creates entirely AI-generated
podcasts. And he said the retention on those completely AI-generated podcasts is exactly the
same in most cases as his human podcasts. But what's missing from those podcasts? To date,
it has been the avatar or the person, but suddenly you can have video to supplement that audio. And
again, that gets the same exact retention and delivers the same net value to listeners as the
podcast with human hosts and guests. Now we'll see how all of that plays out and whether people
choose once they know to listen to that kind of content versus not. But regardless,
AI content creation tools are here to stay. AI avatars are just coming onto the scene,
and that is why I want to show you this really exciting tool today and how you can actually
apply it again for you, for your business, for your job. So the platform that we'll be using to
create an AI avatar and explore these business and creator use cases is Kivix. Kivix is an AI
power digital human video platform that specializes in helping you create product showcases, social
media content, corporate training, and ads, all with AI avatars. And these are hyper-realistic
avatars. So if I wanted to duplicate myself, essentially. So on the platform, and you'll see
all of this in just a second, you can upload a video and within minutes, you can have a fully
generated AI avatar of you in this digital twin of sorts for all the use cases that we're going
to get into. Now we'll walk through exactly how to make your own avatar for your own business.
You learn best by trying and doing. And so you can follow along with what I'm doing in this video
completely for free on Kivix. So you can just head over to their website or click the link
in the description, create an account for free, and then just follow along step-by-step with what
I'm doing in this video. That is how you're going to learn the best. So go click the link
in the description to do that. And that said, let's get into creating the actual avatar.
Okay. Now this is the Kivix homepage and off the bat here, you can see some really interesting
things like AI video ads. So just plugging in a product URL and generating an entire video ad
just from that. We're not going to get into all of that for now. We're going to focus
just on the avatar piece here. So what I'm going to do is click on avatars in the bottom left,
and then create my first avatar. So then I'm going to select, start with videos. I'm going
to use a video to create that avatar piece. And this is going to take a four minute video max.
That's all. And luckily with YouTube, I have plenty of stuff here. If you don't have a video
like this, just record yourself sitting there talking, doing something in a like straight
ahead kind of kind of view. Let's do that for a few minutes. And then you can plug it straight
into here. So option one is upload footage. Option number two is to record the webcam. We're going to
go ahead with that option. Now I'm going to click get permission, and then now I can adjust this.
I'm now in frame and I'll click start. So, okay. Now it gives me a script. Hey everyone. Now's the
time to upgrade your essentials with great deals on tech, skincare, and more. These are quality
picks from real creators. Fast shipping and easy returns. Don't miss out. Okay. I can click stop
recording right there. It's going to go ahead and process that. Okay. Now I'm going to name the
avatar, just my name. We can remove the background and we can replicate the voice. So we're doing
audio and the video portion here. I'll click next. Now consent is a big thing when it comes to
essentially deep faking people. So you see this on every kind of platform that's going to do this,
where you need a video of yourself or ID or some form of saying, hey, I consent to me being
replicated digitally. So I'll go ahead and I'll record that consent video. Now I hereby grant
Kivix permission to use footage of me for the purpose of creating a custom avatar solely for
my use on my own team on the Kivix platform. And now we'll clone me. This will take about 30 minutes
to process. Okay. So it's been not even 30 minutes, let's say 20 or so minutes. And under my avatars,
we can see my finished avatar here. What I'm going to do is click create with AI, and we can see my
avatar actually used in a real world situation. So that was the whole creation process. Now let's
get into the actual world demos. So the first workflow with an AI avatar that I want to focus
on is the ad workflow. So let's say you own a business, you work for another business that you
need to create ads. Well, now you can do that fully with AI. So in the spirit of using AI,
we're going to jump back and exactly between five. And what I'm going to say is generates a short
punchy sales script about my marketing services, for example, and let's say marketing services
for property managers. And let's get a little more specific there. Create this script for a
short YouTube video. Okay. Now I'm going to copy that. I'm going to jump back into the generator,
and then I'm going to go to script as opposed to topic. I'm pasting my script here. And then for
the avatar, I've selected obviously my own custom avatar, and we're going horizontal for a YouTube
style ad. And then I'll click generate scene. Okay. Now here on the right, I can see what this
looks like. So this is just a replica essentially of me in that demo video that was recorded. So if
a different kind of quality or lighting or something, maybe just fill that source video
in a different environment. And we have three scenes that are me essentially just speaking
these words or my digital clone. Now, the other side of this is that this platform will write the
script for you if you supply a topic. But for this first use case, again, let's say you have that
script and you want something very specific made. And I mean, personally, in my work, this is
something that we need pretty much every day with ad style videos. Okay. I'm going to play
the first few seconds. I want you to note something here. So I'm going to click play.
You can see me moving and looking around and you can see my hands there as well. So what this is
actually doing is inserting my hand here in addition to creating the audio, syncing it with
my lips and making all of that look realistic. So I'm going to go ahead and click render video
in 1080p and it's going to generate the finished. So I'm going to go ahead and click render video
and it's going to generate the finished ad. Now, I want you to note there as well. You saw a white
screen right there, but we can do a lot more than that in the editor. We're going to look at that
right after this is finished. Now, while that's generating, this is a really cool market trends
tab in the platform as well. And what you can see here is just ads that are doing really well
pulled from the various different ad platform transparency centers where they showcase ads
that brands are running. And so what you can do is essentially just look at the insights here and go
ahead and copy ads like these for your own product. You search your industry, you search your product,
and then you go create variations of that using your AI avatar. So that's a whole kind of ad
creation workflow as well. That is, again, at least something that I personally use every day
and something that I'm sure you and watching this can use in the same way. Okay. And let's
check out the final version. Okay. There we go. So now I want to double click and go back to
the editing side of it. So what I'll do, I'll go back to avatars, I'll click on John,
then I'll click on create right here. Let's just paste in that same script from chat.
We'll go ahead and click generate scene. And then you can see some of the editing now that we can
do in the editor. So what we can do, we can edit the background. We can import any background we
want, or I could go any number of these backgrounds right here. And if I didn't record
the base video behind a green screen or something, then with certain lighting, then you can really
match that up and you're going to look awesome for your digital clone. You can add media as well,
right? So this is a full on little editor built into here. Let's add some gold. Let's add a little
arrow. And then of course, text. So maybe I want the name of my company, which I so creatively
named company right over here. Let's go 1350 in the top, right? And then we can add music
on the background as well. So everything, every kind of feature you would need in an ad,
you can go ahead and get done in the editor. Okay. So the second use case that I want to
showcase here is the social media side of it. So if you create any kind of video content on social
media, you know that you make a lot of mistakes. It's impossible to record things perfectly every
time, maybe pronounce something in the wrong way. So if you have your digital clone, of course,
what you could do, you can create with AI. You can paste in the exact sentence, maybe that you need,
that you lost the camera, uh, audio for, for example, and then you can get that regenerated.
So I'll give you a very specific example. Let's say at the start of this video that I was
introducing the Keyvix platform and I lost the camera audio right there. Well, what I can say is,
let's, let's do an example sentence. This is the Keyvix platform. That's the Keyvix platform.
And there's a, what did I say? There's a lot here to dive into, but we're going,
we're going to focus on AI avatars, like generate scene, and then I'll go continue an editor. And
then what I can do is I can go to the Keyvix website. I can grab a screenshot images of that.
And let's go here. Let's go ahead. We will download this image, go to background, pull
that image in here. And then now that screenshot is the background. So it looks like I'm actually
here. And now, of course, I don't want to be this big. Cause I, I'm not actually that big. What I'll
do, just like you're seeing this video. Now I'll go to circle and then I will make that a little
small, put it in the right. Now this is basically exactly what the video you're watching right now
looks like apart from the difference in the background. And this is also what all kinds
of trainings look like and a lot of kind of support resources you see on corporate sites
and whatnot. We're going to get into that in just a second, but just to finish up this,
what I can do, I can go ahead and render that video. We'll go 720p. I'll just call it Keyvix
homepage and I'll click export. Okay. So that video is being completed. Let's give that a play.
So simple to the point I can plug that into the video if need be, if I don't have that footage.
Now that said the first big use case here that I see, I think is most applicable to you watching
this and certainly myself as well, it's going to be kind of training and support and internal
documentation or documentation for clients about how to do things, how to use a platform. You can
do all of that really easily with exactly this same kind of workflow. So we'll go back to
avatars. I'll select my avatar. I'll create with AI. And then for the script, in this case,
what I could do is I could have JGPT or another AI tool generates the script. If I want something
that is accessible only based on data that I've saved plugged into a platform like that,
or let's just go to topic here instead of script. And I'll say, I want a tutorial video
for people on how to create a Facebook ad account. Right? So this could be a tutorial
for clients on how to set up an ad account to share it with you. If you do, for example,
for objective and speaker, let's say teacher objective is to educate step by step the
audience on how to create a video. And then on the audience side, we can say business owners that are
not good with technology, then I'll generate an outline. So here we can see the basics. So what's
been done and then the scene that's going to be generated that we can see the actual script here.
This is about 30 seconds per section. I'll continue with editor. And then notice for the
background, I could upload a video. So what I could do is I could screen record something like
this actual process, let's say 30 seconds, and then loop that 30 second video throughout the
entire workflow here, or record an actual three minute video and use that as a reference point.
In this case, what we'll do is just go to Facebook. So I'll go ahead and just select a screenshot
here from latest results. We'll do the same process of downloading this. And again,
if you were doing this for real, I'd highly recommend to go ahead and create a video. But
you get the idea here. I'll use this screenshot as the background and then we can go ahead and
render that video. Okay, now after that bonus section, I want a little like narrative thing.
So that's what we'll do here. And now again, there's a lot more on this platform like creating
video ads from a product URL that you should go check out. But that said, those are the big three
demos that I think are most useful and practically applicable to you within that domain of AI video.
Okay, now as a little bonus here, I want to note this translate and dub video feature. That's a big
one if you deal in, you know, multiple countries, whereas you can take the one video that you
already have, or the AI avatar created video, and then you can get 170 different languages dubbed
over that. So if you have website videos, trainings, any content at all, like we've
gone through throughout this whole video, drop the video in here, right, choose the languages,
and you'll go ahead and have your dubbed audio. Okay, so by now you've seen all of these AI avatar
demos. And so if you made it this far, I assume you want to give it a go. And again, you can do
that entirely for free on the KeyBix platform, just head over to their website or click the link
in the description to get started and give the platform a spin for yourself, create your digital
twin, and see what you can do from there. That said, I had a lot of fun with this one,
I hope you did too. And again, maybe I'm AI right now. And maybe I'll do some tests there
into future to see whether on my channel as well, just like the Diary of a CEO podcast,
I mentioned whether that impacts retention and engagement. So thank you all for being here,
and I'll see you in the next one. Cheers.
