Character basics / FREE BEGINNER GUIDE 05
Your AI influencer’s first three posts: a simple starter plan
THE QUICK ANSWER
What should a new AI character post first?
Start with three connected posts: an introduction, a small personality moment and a scene you could repeat. Keep the character recognisable across all three. This gives viewers a clear idea of the persona and gives you a manageable creative exercise before planning a longer series.
Post one: make the introduction clear
Show the character clearly and write a short caption about their role. Your first post does not need a complete origin story. Give a visitor enough information to understand who they are looking at and what kind of scenes may follow.
Keep the fictional nature understandable. For example, the caption “Meet Mara, a fictional courier with an unnecessarily serious approach to lunch” introduces the premise without claiming that an invented person has a real-world career or history.
Post two: show the personality doing something
Choose a small action that makes the original idea visible. A courier carefully inspecting a sandwich bag communicates more than another portrait with the word “dramatic” in the caption. A short clip, a still with a clear situation or a simple sequence can all work for this exercise.
Reuse the approved reference and outfit. You are checking whether the personality survives beyond the introduction. Avoid adding a large cast, complicated dialogue and a new visual style at the same time.
Post three: find a format worth repeating
Choose a scene with room for another episode. “Today’s very important delivery” could become a recurring setup with a different ordinary object each time. The recognisable part is the character’s response, not an identical image repeated indefinitely.
Before producing more, ask a friend to describe the character after seeing the three posts. If their description is unrelated to your brief, make the next scene clearer. This is a creative clarity check, not a prediction about audience growth.
1. Introduction: courier outside the café. 2. Personality: serious inspection of a sandwich delivery. 3. Repeatable scene: “mission complete” after a very ordinary handoff.
Plan only what you can finish
For each post, write the idea, the asset you need and the next action. Finish one before generating a folder full of unrelated material. Use a consistent file name so the approved image, clip and caption are easy to find together.
LLC’s Gallery separates the family’s performances from the creator tools. You can make a similar distinction in your own planning: the character has a public story, while the production notes stay in your working folder. The free Creator Kit includes a 30-day planner after this three-post exercise feels comfortable.
- The same character is recognisable in each post.
- Every post has one clear idea.
- The caption describes what the viewer can actually see.
- You can name the next episode without inventing a new identity.
Common questions
Do I need to post every day?
This beginner exercise does not require a daily schedule. Choose a pace that lets you finish and review the work; use a longer planner when you have a repeatable process.
Will these three posts make my AI influencer go viral?
No plan guarantees reach or virality. The exercise helps you make the character and format clearer before committing to more production.
