🤖 Meet Abigail: My AI Spokeswoman. She's More Than Just a Pretty Prompt 🎤

AI Creativity Chronicles​
Making Marketing Fun Again,
One Week at a Time

She’s Not Real, But the Creativity Is.

If AI tools are evolving at lightning speed — and they are — then creative marketers have two choices:

🛑 Hesitate and get left behind
🚀 Or experiment boldly and stay ahead of the curve

I chose option 2.

Meet Abigail, my new AI-generated spokeswoman:

​

She’s not just a gimmick. She’s a living experiment in what’s now possible with:

  • ChatGPT (for script co-writing & image prompt)
  • Ideogram (for her look)
  • ElevenLabs (for her voice)
  • HeyGen (for the lip sync video)
  • Riverside.fm (for the captions)

Yes, it’s a little weird.
Yes, it’s a little wonderful.
And, it’s exactly the kind of exploration that today’s AI-powered creativity demands.

Creating Abigail wasn’t about perfection — it was about play, experimentation, and learning by doing.

Please let me know, would you like a "how she was made" tutorial video? If there's enough demand, I'll make one.

And for sure, she's a taste of what’s coming in my next course:

​Prompted to Create: ​
An Experiential Breakthrough Approach to AI for Marketers

We’re not launching just yet. So, for now, think of this as your invitation to stay curious and get ready.

Or just hit reply and tell me what AI tool you’ve been meaning to try or find the most empowering — I’d love to hear about it.

Stay creative. Stay curious. Stay human.
