What is an AI avatar in CustomIQ?
It is a talent invented by AI: a consistent face and, if you turn it on, a voice, that presents your content when you would rather not appear on camera. It speaks to the segment you choose, so it looks and talks like your audience.
What do I do from the dashboard?
In Talents, press Add Influencer and choose AI Influencer. Enter a name, pick the segment and press Next. Describe how it should look and come across, choose language and gender, and turn on voice. The form shows the creation fee and your balance; press Save and CustomIQ generates the avatar's photos and voice.
Can I use it from the chat?
Yes. Once it exists, the IQ chat can use it when it creates organic posts, videos or ad creatives, and it uses it on every piece if you set it as the brand's Brand face. Creating the avatar is done in Talents.
What does it cost?
A one-off creation fee charged from your credits, shown before you save. The free public avatars in Talents cost nothing to use.
