Generate AI Twins

There are two ways to generate an AI Twin:

  1. Record your AI Twin in the Captions app - If you would like to generate just a few AI Twins, simply generate your AI Twin in the Captions app. It will be available when you list the available creators. AI Twins will be given a unique name and appear like twin-1-sam, twin-2-sam, etc. This is the most common and easiest way to generate an AI Twin.
  2. Generate your AI Twin programatically, via the API - If you would like to generate a large volume of AI Twins via the API, please learn more here.
