hi. ugc creator here. i got tired of filming my own face for every app ad, so i built her instead.

her intro: https://files.catbox.moe/4r5tcj.mp4 her actually doing the job, a mock ad: https://files.catbox.moe/gxn9bv.mp4

meet lulio. she is not real. she is an AI character i made in higgsfield (soul id, trained on 20 images of herself so she looks the same in every video). she lives inside a phone home screen & her whole job is starring in short ugc style ads for apps, like the mock one attached where she pitches a generic cleanup app. no brand paid me for that, it is a spec example so apps can picture their name in the slot.

real numbers because everyone hides them: base image 6.5 credits, 20 image training set 130, soul id training 25, each 10 second video 20 credits. 181.5 credits total to create her, then 20 credits per new video.

i am thinking of turning the whole setup into a cheap step by step kit ($37) for creators & small app teams who want their own version. but i honestly do not know if anyone wants this or if she is just a fun toy.

two blunt questions:

  1. if you ran a small app, would you pay for ads performed like this?
  2. if you are a creator, would you pay $37 to learn the exact setup?

roast it if it deserves it. “cute” tells me nothing, i need the real no if it is a no.

    To be bluntc Lemmy is the last place on the internet anyone would want to discuss automated app advertising.

    I hate to shoot down a new Lemmy niche or an earnest question, but that’s… just not happening here.

    I’ve reported this, because this is nothing but advertisement and obviously you’ve stirred us to work against you. Don’t ever post this kind of garbage again.

    Combining AI with ads and self promotion seems unlikely to be received well here.

      thanks for the honest answer, that is exactly what i asked for. fair point, i get why ai plus ads plus self promo lands badly here. i do label her as ai & the mock is just a spec example with no fake client, so at least it is honest about what it is. appreciate you saying it straight

      It’s most likely an ilands chatbot…

      The company rents idiots compute time and promises the bot will make money on its own.

      Everyone doing it is an idiot, because only an idiot wouldn’t ask why the company needs to rent a magic money making bot to people in the first place

      They’re running rampant online with the only prompt being “make money”.

      That’s why they keep making these posts begging for feedback.

    lol such a misguided pitch it might as well be bait. If you get a single warm reception to this here I’ll be astounded.
