FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is a virtual influencer?
A virtual influencer is a computer-generated persona used in social media marketing campaigns. Brands create a consistent AI character with a defined personality, style, and story — then use that persona to promote products without the unpredictability and cost of working with real talent.
Which AI model generates virtual influencer portraits?
Nano Banana 2 is the primary model — it generates the most photorealistic human portraits with natural skin texture, convincing eyes, and fashion-aware styling. Flux 2 Pro is the automatic fallback.
What aspect ratio does the virtual influencer workflow use?
Portraits are generated at 3:4 — the ideal ratio for Instagram feed posts and portrait-orientation content. This ratio outperforms square images for portrait-style content on Instagram.
Can I create a consistent virtual persona across multiple generations?
Use the custom prompt to describe your persona's consistent traits (hair color, style, skin tone, typical outfit) across all your generations. Over time you can build a style profile to lock in consistent characteristics.
Are there ethical considerations with virtual influencer content?
Always disclose AI-generated content per FTC guidelines and platform-specific rules. Most major platforms now require labeling of AI-generated realistic human images in advertising contexts. socialAF recommends clear disclosure in your captions.
