Today’s AI in Action: Create personalized AI video avatars

In this tutorial, you will learn how to create AI-generated videos featuring yourself or any character by training an AI model with personal images and then animating them with natural speech using Google Veo 3.

Step-by-step:

  • Go to Freepik and create a new Character by uploading 12-24 varied images of yourself

  • Use ChatGPT to generate detailed scene prompts: “Provide a prompt where the character is in a studio holding a product. Do not describe the character’s appearance”

  • Back in Freepik, select your character, paste the prompt with your character's name, and generate in 16:9 format

  • Upload your image to Google Gemini’s Video tool and prompt: “Guy talks to the camera saying: [dialogue]”

Pro tip: Use varied images when training your character and be specific with dialogue prompts for the most natural-looking results.
