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:

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