Production guide

AI influencer

One face that survives a hundred posts. Generate the canonical still once, build a board of many angles from it, and attach that board to everything afterwards. The board is the character — the posts are disposable.

The rule above all. ONE HOP FROM THE CANONICAL STILL. Attach the canonical image, not a look you generated earlier. A hop from a hop drifts, and six looks later it is a different person with the same name.

01. Generate the canonical still — once

The whole persona is downstream of this one image. It is generated ONCE and never regenerated: a second canonical is a second person. Everything after this attaches it.

The faceBone structure, skin, eyes, and at least one ASYMMETRY — a slightly higher brow, a crooked incisor, a mole. The asymmetry is the fastest single test that a later render is still her.Build and postureHeight, frame, how she holds herself. Not an age — see the rule below the prompt.Wardrobe for the canonicalWhat she is wearing in THIS image. It becomes the profile photo, so it should be the outfit you are happy to have at the top of the grid for months.Where it is takenOne room, described once. Later looks get a plate; this one gets words.

The prompt

Still needs face, build, wardrobe, room

Hyperrealistic portrait photograph.   She wears  Photographed in  Natural realistic skin with visible texture, soft directional light, hyperreal detail, shot wide with room to crop, vertical 9:16. No text.

— Never describe hair as identity. A haircut description rebuilt one face into a different man. Identity is bone structure, asymmetry and skin — hair is wardrobe.
— Never ask for 'older' or 'younger'. The model slims the face, and on a full face slimming reads as ageing. If a face came back wrong, ask to RESTORE VOLUME.
— Generate wide and crop. It defaults wide, and cropping only ever goes tighter — you cannot recover frame you did not generate.
— The profile photo IS the canonical still, unaltered, same wardrobe, same room. If the profile picture is not visibly the same person as the videos, the whole account falls over.

What this guide will not do

These come from the same sources as the method above, and we decided against them. They are written here rather than in a file somewhere, because a refusal nobody can see gets adopted again by the next person who watches the same video.

Buying aged Instagram accounts to skip the cold-start

It breaches the platform's terms, and the account we would be building on is one we cannot prove we own. A takedown lands after the audience exists, which is the worst possible time.

A paywall with humans answering as the persona

A person paying to talk to a creator who does not exist is being deceived about who is on the other end. Disclosure on the posts does not cure it, because the deception is in the DM.

Letting the persona claim to have tested, used or verified anything

That is impersonating evidence. A fictional person cannot have tried the product, and a review from one is a fabricated testimonial whatever label sits under the video.

Creating an account in a real person's name

Several real people have rendered avatars because we make content for them. That makes them look like personas on a list, and they are not.

Ask ATLAS

It already knows these rules — the character lock, the room lock, one unbroken take, vertical 9:16. Ask it to write a field and it writes it ready to paste, and tells you what is missing first.
