Hey everyone! In this blog post, I'm going to show you how to create and grow your own hyper-realistic virtual AI influencer using SynthLife. As you can see from the examples below, these influencers are completely AI-generated - they're not real people, but incredibly lifelike digital personas. With SynthLife, you can build an engaging virtual persona, generate a constant stream of on-brand content, and establish a powerful presence on social media - all without any human talent involved.
Before we dive into the step-by-step process, it's worth quickly covering some key benefits of using SynthLife for your virtual influencer needs:
- No camera, studio, or talent required
- everything is AI-generated
- Diverse, on-brand content created at scale with just a few clicks
- Full control over your influencer's appearance, personality, and messaging
- Cost-effective alternative to working with human influencers
- Ability to test different strategies rapidly without logistical constraints
With those advantages in mind, let's go ahead and try it out for ourselves. The first thing you need to do is go to SynthLife.
Step 1: Create Your Influencer
Once you're on the website, click on the "Create Influencer" option. It will ask you for an email address. I recommend using a dummy email for this.
After entering your email, you'll be directed to a landing page where you can sign in using your Google account or Twitter account. This allows SynthLife to automatically create and manage social media accounts for your virtual influencer later on. For this example, I'm going to use my Google account.
During this initial setup, you may also be asked for some basic information about your intended use case - for example, whether you're an individual creator, a business doing influencer marketing, or an agency working on client campaigns. Providing these details can help SynthLife customize your experience.
Step 2: Customize Your Influencer
Once you're logged in, the first thing the site will ask for are two names of celebrities that will mesh into creating your influencer. You can play around with using different celebs with diverse skin tones, eye colors and hair colors Let's try out "Dixie Melano" for the first celebrity and "Kendal Jenner" for the second. For the hair color, I'm going to stick with brown.
Click on "Update" and SynthLife's AI will start generating your influencer's face and full photorealistic 3D avatar based on the parameters you specified. This process typically takes a minute as the system runs the image through multiple machine learning models to create a unique, ultra-realistic digital persona.
While you wait, SynthLife will also automatically generate some initial social media bios, hashtag suggestions, and other profile elements to get you started. But you'll be able to fully customize all of these assets later on.
As you can see, we now have a complete virtual influencer face and 3D model, created with just a few inputs like the celebrity names and hair color. SynthLife's AI has generated this ultra-realistic persona for us by combining billions of data points from real face images using advanced generative adversarial networks (GANs) and diffusion models.
What's particularly impressive is how the AI is able to create a coherent, unique look that doesn't simply copy existing people, but blends facial features in a photorealistic way that creates a unique face just as authentic as any human influencer you'd find on Instagram or TikTok.
If you're satisfied with the initial result, you can click on "Start Creating Content" to proceed. But if you'd like to further tweak the influencer's appearance or try a completely new look, you can click "Update" again to re-randomize and regenerate the face with new parameters.
It's worth taking the time to get this initial step right, as your virtual influencer's look will form the core identity that all future content is based around. But you can always come back and update the appearance later on as well. Aditionally Synthlife allows for you to create multiple Synths (personas). For this example, I'm happy with Vixie's look, so I'll go ahead and move on to the content creation stage.
Step 3: Create Images
With your virtual influencer's core identity established, it's time to start populating their social media feeds with a constant stream of fresh, on-brand visuals and videos. This is where SynthLife's AI content creation capabilities really shine.
On the left side of the screen, you'll see options ranging from "Dashboard" to "Settings". But for this post, we're going to focus primarily on the "Create Images" section, which has three powerful subsections for generating influencer content at scale:
Photo Studio
Photo StudioThe "Photo Studio" is essentially an advanced AI image generation tool tailored specifically for creating virtual influencer content. Here you can customize every aspect of the scene by providing text prompts, including:
- Clothing style, patterns, and brands
- Background settings (e.g. beach, city, home interior)
- Facial expressions and poses
- Camera framing (full body, portrait, etc.)
- Number of images to generate in the batch
- Aspect ratios for different social platforms
For example, let's say we want our to model a trendy blue dress while posing in a modern city apartment setting. We could input prompts like: "blue floral midi dress, smiling in a bright apartment living room, full body portrait."
Note that while the basic plan gives you access to common aspect ratios like 1:1 for Twitter posts you may need to upgrade to access other formats like 9:16 for Instagram Stories or TikTok videos.
Once you've finalized your text prompts, just click "Generate" and SynthLife's AI will go to work creating the scene. Depending on the complexity, this process typically takes 1-2 minutes as the system runs the prompts through its image generation models.
Once the images are ready, you can hover over them to reveal options for adding them to your influencer's media gallery, scheduling posts across platforms like Twitter or simply downloading the hi-res files.
The gallery gives you a centralized hub for storing and managing all of your AI-generated influencer content. You can also provide feedback on successful images to help further refine SynthLife understanding of your brand aesthetic over time.
Auto-Generate
For those times when you need a fresh batch of on-brand visuals but don't want to manually input detailed prompts, the "Auto-Generate" feature allows you to create new images for your influencer with just a couple clicks.
When using Auto-Generate, SynthLife's AI will automatically populate the prompts based on your influencer's established identity and brand aesthetics. You can also toggle filters like "Seductive" on or off depending on your content needs. Click "Auto-Generate" and within a few minutes, SynthLife will produce a batch of entirely new, unique visuals for your influencer - no additional prompting required. The number of images will depend on your plan, but for this example it created a set of 9 distinct photos and scenes.
As with the Photo Studio, you can view these auto-generated images, download hi-res files, add them to your gallery for later use, or instantly schedule them for posting across your influencer's social accounts.
Image Clone
Let's say you come across an inspiring photo online - whether it's from another influencer, a brand campaign, or just a style you want to recreate for your virtual persona. With the "Image Clone" tool, you can easily have SynthLife's AI recreate that same vibe and aesthetic, but with your own custom influencer as the subject.
To use Image Clone, simply upload the reference photo by clicking the upload button. For this example, I'm going to use a lifestyle portrait I found online.
Once uploaded, you can adjust settings like the number of output images to generate, whether you want your influencer smiling or posing in a certain way, and the "Creativity" level which determines how closely the AI will try to match the original reference versus putting its own creative spin on the scene.
Image Clone is extremely useful for quickly replicating influencer aesthetics and branded looks you want to emulate, without having to meticulously prompt every detail from scratch. The AI handles the heavy lifting of recreating the overall mood, colors, lighting, and composition for you.
Click "Generate" and wait a minute or two for the results.
the generated images look a bit like Kendall Jenner because remember, the base face we created was similar to hers.
"the generated images look a bit like Kendall Jenner because remember, the base face we created was similar to hers"
To download any of the generated images, just hover over them and click the download button.
Wrap Up
And that covers the core image and visual creation capabilities within SynthLife! With just a few simple steps, you can create your own hyper-realistic virtual influencer persona from scratch, and then leverage SynthLife's powerful AI tools to generate an endless stream of on-brand photos, lifestyle scenes, product imagery, and more.
