🤖 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.

From humor to hyperrealism, this new AI video shows just how fast—and fun—the future is arriving.

AI Creativity ChroniclesMaking Marketing Fun Again, One Week at a Time Video. Production. Transformed. Only the truth is funny, so the reality of how AI is transforming video & film production is best underscored by funny video storytelling. The hilarious parody of video/film production below shows & tells a ton about the revolution that's happening in the world of AI video (and it's a lot less scary than last week's clip 😆.)
