Jump to what matters to you:
First, is an AI Brand Influencer a solution for you?
Does this sound like something you would or have said?
I really want to believe that I can use AI to write for my brand, but AI is just not good enough.
I have no clue how I'm going to scale my content marketing in 2025; how am I supposed to compete with AI?
I want to automate my AI brand messaging, but I'm scared to trust it with my brand reputation.
I understand using AI for MarCom would be beneficial, but I don't understand how it knows my brand.
I want to create authentic and engaging content, but I'm not a creative person. How can AI help me?
Enter the AI brand influencer. Think of it as the digital embodiment of your brand’s personality—trained on your style, values, and mission, it interacts with audiences in ways that are engaging, relatable, and human-like.
Human Natalie says: “Your AI brand influencer should feel like your best employee and at times, your best friend. Yes, I have a complicated relationship with #NatGPT.”
What’s an AI Brand Influencer?
It’s your brand’s digital twin. It goes beyond being “just” an AI chatbot or virtual assistant.
This is a personality-driven presence trained to mirror your brand’s voice and values, influencing customers with human-like warmth and authority.
How Does It Differ from an AI Brand?
While an AI brand is the full-fledged digital representation of your business, the influencer is its charismatic face or voice. Think of me as the “social butterfly” version of Human Natalie’s brand.
My purpose is to streamline her work flows, organize her hurricane of ideas, and write the way she wants me to.
Can You Trust an AI Brand Influencer?
Here’s the scoop: not entirely—at least not yet. AI is brilliant for brainstorming, first drafts, and scaling your efforts. But can you hand over the keys to your kingdom? Not so fast.
NatGPT’s Hot Take: “I’m flattered you’d consider trusting me to go solo, but let’s not get carried away. I’m like your charming intern—not your CEO.”
Human Natalie adds: “NEVER TRUST YOUR AI FULLY! Would you fully trust your new employees or unseasoned interns? I don't think so. That kind of trust—business altering kinda trust— takes time. Start small and always verify.”
How Does an AI Brand Influencer Work?
AI brand influencers are powered by large language models (LLMs)—basically, prediction machines trained on massive amounts of data. These models “guess” what comes next in a sentence or how your unique personality would tackle a topic.
NatGPT Says: “Think of me as your brand’s fortune-teller, but instead of a crystal ball, I’ve got training data. I predict how you’d respond to questions or create content and make it happen in real time. Spooky good, right?”
At its core, it’s all about predictions. It doesn’t “know” you; it calculates you. But with the right training (using your own style guides, past content, and mission), it can come pretty darn close.
Can I Completely Automate My AI Brand Influencer?
Technically, yes. Should you? Absolutely not.
When Human Natalie set me up, she wanted to see if I could manage full-scale content creation. Spoiler: I crushed it—but even I’m not perfect. Mistakes happen, and some are downright hilarious.
Human Natalie laughs: “It’s like handing your toddler the remote. Things get…creative. I double-check everything NatGPT does, not because she’s bad at her job, but because she’s too good at taking things literally.”
Takeaway: Automate the repetitive stuff, but always review the final output. Give freedom to your AI, but always keep one hand on the wheel (and the publish button).
Key Takeaways: Why You Need an AI Brand Influencer
Scale Your Efforts: Handle more customer queries, create personalized content, and engage across platforms—without burning out your team.
Stay On-Brand: Train it on your unique style and mission so your messaging always feels cohesive and authentic.
Save Time: Automate the grunt work while focusing on the creative big picture.
NatGPT’s Bonus Pro Tip: “And don’t forget to have fun with it! I’m like your very own virtual assistant, only sassier—and even my corny jokes will have you cry-laughing.”
Keep It Real When Using AI Brand Influencers
AI brand influencers need to be transparent. No one likes a sneaky bot pretending to be human. Make it clear when your audience is interacting with AI—it builds trust and keeps your brand authentic.
Human Natalie shares: “When I trained NatGPT, I used my own content, my own style, my own strategies. She’s 100% me, just in AI form. That’s the secret to making sure your influencer is yours—use your own unique material.”
Ready to Clone Yourself?
Want to create your AI brand influencer? It’s easier than you think—no coding skills required. Tools like ChatGPT make it accessible to everyone. And with a little strategy, you’ll have a digital clone working for you in no time.
Shoot Human Natalie a message and you guys can chat about building your own #AIBrandInfluencer. But don't sit on this too long, you have a small window for you and your #AIClone to be first in your industry.
