The Influencer AI Guide
Mastering AI User-Generated Content (AI UGC)

Welcome to the official guide for The Influencer AI! Here, you'll learn everything you need to create viral content with your AI influencers. We'll cover the entire process, from crafting your character to generating professional photos and talking videos. This powerful method of content creation is known as AI User-Generated Content (AI UGC), and this guide will turn you into an expert.

Create AI Influencer

🚀 Getting Started with AI UGC

Go to theinfluencer.ai, sign up, and pick a plan.

📝 TLDR:

• Pick the $19 plan to make an influencer from a custom trait selection (age, ethnicity, body type, etc).

• Pick the $39 plan if you want to make an influencer from your own uploaded pics as well.

• Pick the $99 plan if you want 10 second videos (other plans have 5 second vids).

The higher plans offer more credits per dollar and more trainings. All plans offer unlimited pre-made influencers.

💡 Tip: We recommend starting with the $39 plan. Upgrade to $99 if you need longer video content for maximum engagement. It also offers the most credits and trainings.

👥 Crafting Your AI Influencer

Choose from three methods to create your ideal AI influencer, the foundation of all your future AI UGC:

Create your own

Create your influencer from a trait selection. Select from a variety of characteristics including age, ethnicity, style, and personality traits.

💡 Tip: Feel free to generate previews until you get the influencer you like.

Upload your own

Upload your own photos to create the influencer. Perfect for brands wanting to create influencers based on real people.

💡 Tip: Use 6+ high-quality photos for best results. The "age" field significantly impacts the final outcome.

Premade influencers

Choose from our collection of ready-to-use AI influencers. Use as many influencers as you like, without using up your trainings.

📸 Generating Stunning Photos

Once your influencer is ready (~5 minutes), you can generate consistent, high-quality photos. Here's how to create compelling photos for AI UGC content:

📱 Aspect Ratio Selection

Choose the right aspect ratio for your platform:

9:16 (Vertical)
TikTok, Instagram Stories/Reels, YouTube Shorts
1:1 (Square)
Instagram Feed Posts
16:9 (Horizontal)
YouTube Thumbnails, Landscape Posts

🎥 Video Prompt Framework

Follow this structure for smooth, professional video results:

CAMERA + MICRO-ACTION + SECONDARY MOTION + BACKGROUND + PACE + VIBE

CAMERA

One move

• slow push-in
• gentle handheld sway
• slow pan
• slight tilt

MICRO-ACTION

Subject movement

• blink
• soft breath
• tiny head turn
• micro nod

SECONDARY

Edge details

• hair flutter
• fabric ripple
• glasses catch light

BACKGROUND

Minimal effects

• gentle parallax
• slight bokeh drift
• minimal light sweep

PACE

Timing control

• slow (5s feels)
• gentle
• steady
• broader (10s arcs)

VIBE

Finishing tone

• warm daylight
• clean neutral
• cinematic low-contrast
Example: gentle handheld sway; tiny push-in; natural blinking and soft breath; slight hair movement; bokeh drifts subtly; slow, calm pace; warm daylight vibe
Example: slow left-to-right pan; small head turn right then back; relaxed micro-smile; light fabric ripple; shallow background parallax; steady pace; cozy indoor feel
Example: steady frame with micro sway; lip and eyebrow micro-movements as if speaking; brief hand gesture enters then exits; background stays stable; clean neutral vibe
💡 Tip: Focus on motion and camera movement in your prompts, not appearance - the source image already defines the look. Keep clauses short and non-conflicting for smoother, more stable motion.

🗣️ Lip Sync Feature

Make your AI influencer talk with realistic lip synchronization:

  1. 1.

    Create a talking video base

    In your video prompt, include "the person is talking" for optimal lip sync results.

  2. 2.

    Access Lip Sync

    Select "Lip Sync & Details" under your chosen video.

  3. 3.

    Configure audio

    Choose a voice and input the words you want your influencer to say. Match the text length to your video duration.

💡 Tip: The lip sync feature works significantly better when the starting video shows the person with mouth movements. Always include "the person is talking" in your video prompt for talking videos.
