Use AI to create an avatar for your business

You may have seen him on LinkedIn…

I’ve been using this fella for the LinkedIn editions of my Boost and Nudge.

He looks a bit like me, right!?

Well, at least he’s bald, has a pair of thick eyebrows, and looks friendly.

Here’s how I created him in 3 simple steps*:

1. I’ve used the FLUX model on fal.ai to create a ‘simple cartoon style avatar’ that looks a little bit like me.
   
2. I then uploaded the generated image to Hailuo AI image to video generator and created short video clips for different movements and expressions.
   
   Now, I could have asked FLUX to develop these, but that would have gotten me all kinds of different looking avatars. Not what I was looking for.
   
   So, instead, I created short video clips to keep the looks of my avatar consistent.
   
   Please note: You may want to create an extra Gmail address for Hailuo (owned by MiniMax) as this tool can only be accessed through Gmail.
   
3. Finally, I uploaded the videos to Ezgif video to PNG converter to extract the images I wanted and did a few touch ups in Photoshop.

I think this is pretty cool. As it allows you to create avatars that can do anything you like and use them in any way you want.

Think: your website, explainer videos, brochures, newsletters, you name it.

Hope this helps!
