🤖 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: ​

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

I know it doesn’t look like me exactly… but I made this image in 60 seconds. Seriously.
