How to make a weird AI influencer in genvi

A weird AI influencer is an invented character with one impossible feature. For example, its skin might look like chrome, and it might wait at a bus stop. This guide shows how to make one in genvi, keep the same face in every picture, and put it in new scenes.

The look is simple: a calm face, a strange material and an ordinary place. The hard part is getting the same character again and again. We made four characters for this guide. Every picture below is real genvi work, and you can follow the same steps with your own idea. If you want the plain version first, read how to make an AI influencer with one consistent face.

Accounts like this drew a lot of attention in October 2026. Semafor reported on 7 October that Higgsfield, an AI video company, launched a tool for building custom AI influencers. Semafor also said the characters look real but not quite of this world. You can read that report. Higgsfield is one of the tools behind the trend. If you are weighing the two tools, see genvi vs Higgsfield. You do not need either tool to understand the idea. You can make the same look in genvi.

Why does it work? We cover that in why weird AI influencers go viral. Here we just build one.

Invent your character. Do not copy a real person, a celebrity or a character from a film or show. That is unfair to them, and it can get your posts taken down. Higgsfield's own creator guide warns that parodies of film characters can be taken down. Use only your own face, or the face of someone who agreed. genvi checks every request before it runs, and it can refuse a request aimed at a real person. Also read the rules on telling people your character is AI before you post.

Pick one answer for each of these. Keep them simple.

Add a calm, flat face and one loud piece of clothing. A prompt is the words you type to tell the AI what to draw. Our first character, Oriel Vance, was built from a prompt like this: "seamless mirror-chrome liquid-metal skin that reflects the room, a very long elongated neck, one sculpted swept-back wave of chrome hair, flat deadpan expression, loud violet satin bomber jacket."

The other three characters follow the same recipe. Mabel Quill has glazed porcelain skin with gold repair lines and a black bowl cut. Tobias Fenn is a playful felt puppet in a mustard blazer. Juno Prism has clear glass skin and a crystal bob. Each has one material, one signature haircut and one signature jacket or coat.

Open genvi and make an image project. Choose a model, which is the AI program that makes the picture. Then write your description in one sentence, and add the place and the camera style. For Oriel at a bus stop, we added "sitting alone on a bus stop bench at night with a paper cup." Make a few tries and keep the one where the face and the material look right. That picture is your starting point.

Tip: say the material twice, in different words. The model can soften a strange detail. Adding "skin clearly transparent" or "unmistakably glazed ceramic" stops it sliding back to a normal face.

A reference is genvi's word for a saved character: a few pictures and a short description that genvi reuses. Do this once.

The description does most of the work. genvi sends it with your pictures every time you use the character.

Now use Persona, inside the Formats tab on the Dashboard. Choose your character and write a scene, such as "standing in a supermarket cereal aisle, filming a vertical vlog." Pick a framing and generate. Change only the scene each time. Persona builds the full prompt for you. The steps are in our main AI influencer guide.

Look at the three Oriel pictures. The chrome skin, the long neck, the wave of hair and the violet jacket stay the same. They stay the same in a laundromat, at a bus stop and in a supermarket. That sameness makes a character easy to recognise.

Each picture uses credits, which genvi uses to pay for each run. You see the price before you run. Four results cost more than one. Plans and credits are explained on the plans page.

No. Invent your own. A copy can break the rules of the platform you post on and can cause legal trouble.

Yes, we recommend it every time. See the disclosure guide.

Mostly. Strange details can soften or change between pictures. Keep your description exact, and pick the best result.

No. You download your pictures and post them yourself.
