Science communicators and educational video creators often use a clever trick: they assign the role of narrator or speaker to a famous historical figure. Of course, these figures are portrayed by actors or animated characters. But let’s face it – it’s a brilliant way to grab attention and make the content more engaging. It’s one thing to hear about Archimedes’ principle from a random voice, and quite another when it’s explained by Archimedes himself.
Today, thanks to the AI Chat-avatar feature from Pitch Avatar, anyone can use this same approach. Teachers, for example, can create AI-powered versions of historical figures, scientists, and artists who can “speak” during online lessons – sharing stories about their lives, achievements, and even answering students’ questions in real time. These AI celebrities can not only present content but also respond interactively to comments and questions.
Of course, the use of digital celebrities goes beyond education. You can also create them to narrate social media posts, promote events, highlight products and services, or attract attention to campaigns. The key is choosing the right celebrity for the message. For instance, an Australopithecus named Lucy could introduce a paleontology exhibit, while the legendary traveler Odysseus could promote a Mediterranean cruise.
How to create and bring a digital celebrity to life
With Pitch Avatar, the process is straightforward and includes just three main steps:
Customize the AI Agent’s role. Let your imagination run free – you’re in control of how your digital character will speak, express emotions, and deliver messages. You can choose from existing templates, like the pre-configured “Coach” role in the AI Chat-avatar library. It’s fully ready to use. However, if you prefer, you can modify every setting to match your vision perfectly.
Upload or select the AI Agent’s image and voice. To make your AI twin look and sound like a real celebrity, simply upload a photo or illustration and a voice sample to Pitch Avatar. The AI will animate the image and clone the voice to create a lifelike representation.
To save time, you can also choose from Pitch Avatar’s growing library of prebuilt images and voices – an especially helpful option when you don’t have a voice sample for a historical figure. The library makes it easy to bring any well-known personality to life.
Provide the Avatar with scripts, visuals, and a knowledge base. Once your AI character is set up, it can read and present your text perfectly – in any language – enhanced by illustrations placed exactly where needed. Simply upload your materials, and the avatar will do the rest. You can also use Pitch Avatar to edit or auto-generate scripts using AI.
To enable the avatar to answer audience questions in a believable and knowledgeable way, just upload a custom Knowledge Base. This can include documents or links to online resources. The avatar will use this information to give smart, relevant, and in-character responses during live interaction.
The result? A hyper-realistic AI Agent ready to engage
The digital avatar you create will behave like a real person — available to interact whenever the audience is ready, answering questions, continuing conversations, and staying active for as long as needed. It will never get tired, frustrated, or distracted. It will always remain polite, focused, and friendly.
Beyond digital avatars, Pitch Avatar offers a full range of powerful features that help you quickly and effectively create professional online content. From interactive presentations to AI-generated videos and educational tools – Pitch Avatar is your complete AI solution.
