Ofelia.Agency · February 1, 2026
AI virtual influencers are one of the hottest trends in social media. In this guide, we will show you how to create your first AI model without any technical knowledge — step by step.
What is an AI model?
An AI model is a digitally generated character that looks like a real person. Thanks to modern artificial intelligence tools, you can create realistic photos and videos, build social media profiles, and monetize them across various platforms.
Step 1: Choose a generation tool
There are several proven tools on the market. In our training, we cover each of them in detail, but to get started, you can begin with the most popular options.
Step 2: Define the look and style
Consistency is key. Your model should have specific traits — hair color, clothing style, beauty type — that are repeatable in every photo.
Step 3: Generate your first materials
Using ready-made prompts, generate a series of photos in various poses and settings. Start with 10-15 photos to have enough material for the first week of publications.
What’s next?
This is just the beginning. In the full AI Models 5.0 training, we show you the entire process — from character creation, through building reach, to monetization.
