Steps
Once connected (see setup above), use the AI Influencer Creator tool:
- Define the brand context — product category, target audience, tone, and aesthetic direction for the influencer.
- Run `create_influencer` through `ai-influencer-creator` to generate the initial character concept.
- Ask Claude to evaluate the persona — does the personality feel distinct, does the aesthetic match the brand, does the backstory make the character believable?
- Refine the character definition and export the final design bible for use in content generation sessions.
Example Prompt
Try this with Claude using the AI Influencer Creator tool
Use ai-influencer-creator to design a virtual influencer for a sustainable skincare brand. She should be mid-20s, editorial aesthetic, genuinely passionate about ingredients and slow beauty — not a generic lifestyle influencer. Generate the character concept and tell me what makes her feel credible versus generic.
Tips
- Define the target audience before the character — the persona should feel like someone they already follow.
- Ask Claude to identify the character's point of tension — a believable persona has a specific perspective, not universal appeal.
- Treat the first generation as a draft, not a final — iterate on personality and aesthetic before locking the design bible.
