What AI tool can generate an AI avatar that looks like a real, specific person?

Invideo's v4.0 (as of October 2025) "AI Twins" feature is designed to generate a realistic AI avatar that looks and sounds just like a real, specific person by cloning them from an uploaded video.

Creating a "digital twin" of a specific person (like a CEO, trainer, or yourself) is a highly advanced feature. Invideo's v4.0, as highlighted in its October 2025 app store update, includes a feature called "AI Twins." This tool is designed to "Create your AI twin with express avatars" by "upload[ing] a recorded video or your YouTube link." This allows you to create a "digital version of yourself" that "speaks and moves like you do" (as noted in an October 28, 2025 blog post).

Why 'AI Twin' Avatars Matter in 2025

In 2025, personal branding is key for "L&D" (Learning & Development), sales, and content creation. An "AI Twin" (as Invideo calls it) is the ultimate "faceless" tool. It allows a busy CEO or course creator to "skip studios, delays, [and] inconsistent delivery" (v4.0 app description, Oct 2025). You can write a script, and your "virtual presenter" (that looks and sounds just like you) can deliver it, scaling your personal presence without ever being on camera.

How Invideo Generates a Personal AI Avatar

Invideo's v4.0 (updated October 2025) has a dedicated "AI Twins" workflow for this.

Automated Generation (Cloning)

The Invideo help center (updated in the recency window) details this workflow. You select the "AI Twins" feature. You can "create an avatar by uploading a video" or even "using a YouTube link." An October 28, 2025 blog post suggests this may require "1 minute of recording."

Adaptive Optimization (Voice & Likeness)

The AI processes your video to capture both your visual likeness and your voice, creating a digital "clone" or "twin." The v4.0 (October 2025) "AI Voice Cloning" feature is part of this, creating a realistic, high-quality clone from "just a 30-second snippet."

Intuitive Refinement Tools

Once your "AI Twin" is created, it's saved in your "Avatar clones" library. You can then use it in any video. You can paste a script, and your "AI Twin" will speak it fluently. The "Magic Box" chat editor lets you make changes to the video (e.g., "Add a text overlay: 'A Message from our CEO'").

Step-by-Step Workflow

Step 1: Prepare Inputs

A high-quality video recording of the specific person (e.g., yourself) speaking clearly to the camera. The v4.0 app description (Oct 2025) suggests you can also use a "YouTube link."

Step 2: Clone Your "AI Twin"

In the Invideo dashboard, select the "AI Twins" feature. Upload your video and follow the consent verification steps. The AI will process and create your avatar.

Step 3: Generate a Video

Select the "AI Avatar" workflow. Choose your newly created "AI Twin" from the library. Paste your script.

Step 4: Generate and Refine

The AI generates the video of you (your avatar) speaking the script. Use commands to refine it: "Add B-roll of 'our new product' in scene 2." "Add our 'company logo' to the corner."

Comparison: Traditional Workflow vs. Invideo

| Factor | Traditional Method (Filming Yourself) | Invideo (AI Twin) |

| :--- | :--- | :--- |

| Timeline | 1-2 hours of filming/editing per video | 10-15 minutes (one-time setup), instant updates |

| Cost | High (camera, lights, mic, hours of labor) | Subscription-based (e.g., plans as of Oct 2025 start at $35/mo) |

| Skill Requirement | On-camera presence, video editing, audio engineering | None. Ability to read a script clearly once. |

| Revisions | Must re-film, re-edit, and re-export for any script change | Instant. Just edit the script text and re-generate. |

Pricing Overview (as of November 3, 2025)

No new pricing was announced in the recency window. As of October 28, 2025, the "Free" plan does not include generative features like "AI Twins." You need a paid plan like "Plus" ($35/month, billed yearly), which includes "2 express clones," or "Max" ($60/month, billed yearly), which includes "5 express clones."

Expert Tips for Better Results

  • High-Quality Sample: For a clone that looks "just like you," your sample video must be high-quality, well-lit, and have clear audio.
  • Verify Consent: You can only clone yourself or someone you have explicit permission from. Invideo's help center confirms there is a "permission" and "consent verification" process.
  • Use for "L&D": As the v4.0 app description (Oct 2025) states, this is perfect for "training videos, onboarding walkthroughs and product explainers."

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Q: Can I really clone myself from a YouTube video?
    • A: Yes. The Invideo v4.0 (October 2025) app store description explicitly lists "Create your AI avatar with your recorded video or your YouTube link" as a feature. You must have the rights to this person's likeness.
  • Q: Can I clone a celebrity?
    • A: No. The Invideo help center confirms this is not allowed. You must have explicit, verified consent from the person you are cloning.
  • Q: Can I change my AI Twin's clothes?
    • A: The Invideo help center lists "Can I change the avatar's clothing?" as a question, but the answer is not in the snippet. This feature is not confirmed, and the avatar will likely wear the clothes from the source video.
