hey Tiffany what are you doing around here you know exactly what I'm here for I want to make AI influencers for free you came to the right place Meet Tiffany she has never held a camera but she already has an audience a personal brand and famous brands lining up to work with her and the crazy part she is not real or is she there's a shift in the social media space and anyone with a laptop can build an AI influencer just like her how to achieve perfect consistency with completely free AI tools and how to actually make money from it what are we waiting for let's get started now the way we wanna create our animated AI influencer is by first making sure we have a solid workflow for generating consistent images for that we need a clean character board of our AI character once you have that you simply use it as a reference image every time you generate new shots of your AI influencer and you will achieve stunning results that are both realistic and incredibly consistent let me show you how to create one for free I'll be using Nano Banana 2 inside Google Flow which is completely free and by the way I'll be covering the best free image and video generation models available right now all in this video so make sure you stick around for that the first thing I'll do is head over to Pinterest for visual inspiration I'll scroll through until I find an image that catches my eye and matches the vibe I'm going for I really liked how this one looked so I'll just save it to my PC from there head over to Chat GPT or Claude AI now I've already prepared a Google DOC with every single prompt I'll be using throughout this video it will be LinkedIn my Telegram channel and the link is in the description inside that DOC you'll find the character extraction prompt copy it paste it into the prompt box and hit generate now this chat is fully optimized to output Nano banana 2 prompts from there we just need to upload the image that we got from Pinterest and Claude will analyze it and craft the perfect prompt that will produce a similar but completely new and unique character now head over to Google Flow which is the official source of both the Nano Banana image models and the Vo 3. 1 video model you can generate unlimited images completely for free and you get enough credits for up to two videos per day right here at the bottom you can select the model you wanna use I'll set it to image mode and select Nano Banana 2 I'll set the resolution to 9 16 and the number of images to 4 now I'll simply copy the prompt we generated inside Claude and paste it directly into the prompt box let's generate a few times and see what we get so we've got a few solid results here exactly what we wanted now we also need to generate multiple angles of this character so we can see her in different lighting conditions different facial expressions and different emotions let's go ahead and do that right now first we'll set this image as the reference image and here we're going to say generate a side profile of this woman keep it nice and simple then generate an image of this woman from the back focusing on her head and then we can also go ahead and generate a close up of her eyes so we can capture the fine details of her face up close and look at this we're already getting multiple angles and we're even picking up even the smallest details so now we've got two side profile shots a back of head angle and close up eye shots which gives us incredible flexibility for generating detailed facial shots later on but we also need a full body perspective we need to understand what her complete look is the full outfit the proportions the height so let's prompt generate a full body shot of this woman wearing a black sleeveless crop top and matching high waist black fitted leggings dark sneakers make sure it is on the same white background this gives us outfit consistency across every scene and it also gives us important context around her overall frame and height now to make sure the outfit stays consistent across all the other angles we already generated I'm going to upload both images together and do a clothing replacement I'll prompt make her wear the black outfit from the full body image in the close up shot this keeps everything visually unified across the entire sheet so now we've generated everything we need from here I'll simply download the images when you hit the download button on a free plan you only get the 1K resolution option if you're on pro you can upscale up to 2K and if you're on premium you can go all the way up to 4K but don't worry later in this video I'll show you a completely free method to upscale your images without spending a single dollar now we're going to take all the images we downloaded and combine them into one single collage this will be our master reference image or a character board in other words so whenever we generate a new scene and upload that one image into Nano Banana Pro as a reference every single shot we produce from that point on will automatically pull from all those different angles and details of our character I'm going to jump into Picsart and show you how to create a clean character board just like the one I put together for my AI influencer you can use Canva or Photoshop as well on the left side click on Start New Design and select create from Blank Canvas from there adjust the custom dimensions type 1920 by 1080 and click add now once you have the project created simply select the upload tab and upload the images now start pulling all of those images onto the canvas sizing doesn't need to be perfect but you do want your main portrait to be large enough so that when you upload it into the prompt bar the model still has enough visual context to work with what I like to do is to position the main character image first full size front and center and then arrange everything else around it side profiles close UPS detail shots build it out from there that way when we upload this character sheet into Nano Banana Pro it has full context front profile side profile facial details outfit everything I'm going to scale up the eye close up as well so the model picks up on those fine facial details so now we've got this beautifully cluttered but fully organized character sheet export it and we're ready to go from here just as I said use this image that we created as a reference image in all your image generations and you will achieve perfect character consistency no matter which angle you generate we can generate images purely from a text prompt using our character reference image just like I did here we can also seamlessly drop our consistent character into any background or location we want just like in this example we can even swap the whole character out completely using basic prompts and the reference image we built now let's cover all the best free models available on the market right now because let's be real that's the real reason you clicked on this video for image generation my primary choices are Nano Banana Pro and Nano Banana 2 I use those two image models for 90% of my generations and you can use them completely free inside Google Flow they are perfectly optimized for AI influencers and deliver the best realism and overall quality Chat GPT is a great option as well it shines when it comes to image editing it changes only what you ask for while keeping the lighting composition and character likeness perfectly consistent that alone makes it incredibly useful for refining your shots without breaking your character pro tip images are 80% of the job when it comes to creating a great AI video so always make sure you're working with maximally upscaled highest resolution images possible this is what separates clean cinematic shots from blurry low quality outputs always upscale your initial images to at least 2K resolution that is sufficient for almost every major video generation model out there if you do a quick Google search for free image upscaler scroll down slightly and you'll find the website I use right here simply upload the image you want to upscale and select between 200% and 400% enlargement for our shots we'll go with 400% so I'll leave that selected and hit upload to start within just a couple of seconds we get our image back at double the resolution we started with it does make faces look a bit plastic so in some cases it works great but in other cases it can ruin the integrity of the image and make the face look too polished let's talk about videos now for talking videos with the best lip sync use Vo 3. 1 on Google Flow you get 50 daily credits which is equivalent to two videos per day for free and you get additional 100 credits when you first sign up it's really simple to use just select video from the menu at the bottom set the resolution to vertical and set it to one video per generation at the bottom you can choose your generation model v 0 3.
1 fast is the way to go here it's cost effective and performs incredibly well now I'll simply upload the reference image I created earlier in the prompt box I'll type out a clean simple prompt she talks naturally and realistically with an American accent she is in a podcast environment and is not looking directly into the camera as if she is speaking to another person she smiles at the beginning and she says it is unreal that even with free AI tools this looks so real now hit generate and let's see what we get it is unreal yeah that even with free AI tools this looks so real and honestly it looks pretty good nothing weird happening no distortion she looks realistic natural and completely believable it does add a watermark but that's an easy fix you can remove it using a site like vmake or clean it up manually in after effects or CapCut simply zoom in slightly and reposition the frame so it's completely out of shot or use the AI remove feature inside CapCut if you have a Pro version now here's a gem I found it's called Arena AI it is completely free as well and it works with both image and video generation to access this just head over to Arena AI and at the bottom you will see different options to choose from simply select image or video upload your reference image type in your prompt and start blasting through your generations it runs on the Grok video generation model and there is also LTX2 which does not output nearly as good results as Grok the lip sync isn't perfect let's talk about videos now for talking videos with the best lip sync use Vo 3. 1 on Google Flow but after enough generations you will land on a clip with decent sync let's talk about videos now for talking videos with the best lip sync use Vo 3. 1 on Google Flow and where Arena AI really shines is scenes without dialogue zoom ins transitions movement shots this model handles all of that better than anything else out there now if you want to swap your character into a video and copy the exact movement from a reference clip you need one character swap simply head over to one dot video and click try now this will take you straight to the main generation tab at the bottom you can select different generation modes to do a character swap or animate a photo select Avatar and from there choose either character swap or photo animate both work on the same principle just upload the reference image of your character and the reference video you want to mimic from there just set the generation mode to Pro and let it run as you can see when I try to generate it shows zero credits used and you get 10 free daily credits automatically so in practice it's completely unlimited the one downside is that the waiting queues can get quite long and the wait times can add up but considering it's entirely free and unlimited that's a trade off I'm more than happy to take one more free and unlimited platform I found is called Q when it has both video and image generation and it works really solid it is a bit slow for video generation but who cares it is free and you can generate as much as you want now let's talk about the monetization side for a long time influencers were just influencers they would post good looking photos show cool places they visited and share pieces of their lifestyle and for a while that was enough to build a huge audience but social media has changed today people don't just follow someone because they look good or live an interesting life most people follow accounts based on their interests things they want to learn about or topics they actually care about and that shift applies to AI influencers too there are actually two types of influencers nowadays you have basic AI influencers like Aitana Lopez Lil Mckella etcetera who mostly post lifestyle style content and then you have niche AI influencers who focus on a specific topic and build an audience around that interest and in today's world those niche AI influencers are often the ones growing the fastest this is Rabbi Goldman and as you can see he's sitting at 1.
