The Pitch Avatar team uses its own product as an example to explain why professionals across various fields should actively use AI tools and not fear that robots will take their jobs.
Largely under the influence of techno-pessimists and techno-alarmists, a belief has taken root in public opinion that smart programs and machines pose a threat to professionals who have spent years studying and honing their skills. We would like to reassure you that this is not the case. First and foremost, progress threatens routine, largely mechanical, and mentally draining work, including tasks associated with heavy physical labor. Such activities will indeed become the domain of robots in the foreseeable future. However, when it comes to replacing humans in areas that require creativity, an understanding of people, and deep professional expertise, artificial intelligence still has a very long way to go.
At present, for most representatives of creative professions, AI is an assistant rather than a replacement. That said, it is worth noting that this is an assistant that will become increasingly difficult to do without with each passing day.
Let us take Pitch Avatar as an example — a solution that enables the creation of realistic digital characters capable of freely interacting with an audience. Its key features include: the ability to “construct” any visual appearance with any voice; the ability to use information from a Knowledge Base created by the author (filled using both files and links); and the ability to accompany spoken content with relevant illustrative materials.
To create your own AI avatar, you only need to complete a few steps:
- Create and configure the role of the AI agent. In this regard, the author’s imagination is virtually unlimited. An AI chatbot can play any role — whether it is a courteous clerk from the Victorian era, a character from ancient Greek mythology, or even an alien — the choice is yours. That said, Pitch Avatar also offers several pre-configured roles, including “coach,” “sales manager,” and “support.”
- Upload or select the appearance and voice of the AI agent. Pitch Avatar provides creators with extensive capabilities for shaping both the look and the voice of an AI chatbot. It can “bring to life” an uploaded photo or image and clone virtually any voice at the author’s request. For convenience and time savings, the tool includes a constantly expanding library of ready-made appearances and voices.
- Populate the Knowledge Base. The virtual character will accurately and flawlessly deliver any text, matching emotions and intonation according to the selected role and supporting the narration with illustrations in the appropriate places. Moreover, it can do so in any language. It is important to note that, like conventional AI-based chatbots, Pitch Avatar can assist the author in editing a text or script or generating one based on a given task. For the AI agent to competently answer audience questions, its Knowledge Base should be filled with relevant sources of information. These can include both files and links to online resources.
Let us take a look at how representatives of several popular professions can use it:
Customer Support Specialist.
This is one of the most popular areas for using AI chatbots. The ability to provide 24/7 responses to issues customers encounter when using products or services has made support teams some of the most dedicated adopters of artificial intelligence. The Pitch Avatar AI chatbot can handle the majority of routine cases that require fast and straightforward consultation. According to various estimates, these typically account for around 70–80% of all requests. As a result, human support staff are freed up to handle complex situations — including cases that require dispatching a specialist to a customer’s location.
Marketer / Sales Manager.
An AI agent can present a product or service, supplementing its explanations with relevant visuals and answering customer questions in a flexible, conversational manner. It can do this at any time of day or night, always remaining friendly, polite, and fully focused on the interlocutor. Essentially, Pitch Avatar’s AI agent can serve as a qualified assistant consultant handling all pre-sales activities. However, without human involvement, it cannot produce an accurate and error-free product or service description. And no matter how carefully the Knowledge Base is prepared, customers will occasionally ask questions that the AI chatbot must escalate to a human. In addition, for certain products or services, a human salesperson is indispensable during the actual transaction process.
Teacher / Professor / Online Coach.
For representatives of these creative professions, the Pitch Avatar AI chatbot is invaluable as a lecture presenter. It can even be created as a digital double, based on the author’s own photograph and using the voice cloning feature. The advantages of such a virtual alter ego are obvious. It delivers lectures without mistakes, slips of the tongue, or pauses. At the same time, the author saves the time required to record the lecture. Moreover, with a properly populated Knowledge Base, it can answer questions around the clock. Naturally, such an AI assistant cannot replace a human educator. However, it can free up significant time for research, writing books, articles, and lectures, as well as for direct interaction with students.
We believe that these three examples are more than sufficient to demonstrate the validity of the statement presented in the article’s title.
In conclusion, we would like to add that Pitch Avatar offers a wide range of useful features typical of modern AI solutions. Taken together, they can help quickly and efficiently solve all tasks related to the creation, use, and maintenance of online content.
