Episode description

In this experimental episode, I document my real-time attempt to create an AI avatar of myself using Google Flow and the new Gemini Omni video generation model. I walk through the entire process—from scanning my face with my phone to generating a complete one-minute hype video for the podcast, all in about 15 minutes.

What you’ll learn:

How to create an AI avatar using Google Flow in under five minutes
Why video AI tools unlock creative possibilities for people with zero video production skills
The step-by-step process of generating a full storyboard using AI as your creative producer
How to use character consistency features to generate multiple video scenes with the same avatar
The uncanny-valley moments you’ll encounter when your AI clone doesn’t quite nail emotions or physics
How to stitch together AI-generated scenes into a complete video using built-in editing tools
