How I Made AI Hold Real Products — And Sell Them

AI-Driven UGC Made Real: Zoryana Holds the Spotlight

The Moment of Innovation

After three weeks straight of refining model/train pipelines, visual grounding, and speech fidelity, I finally cracked the formula for making AI influencers hold real physical products convincingly — and deliver genuine, on-brand endorsements through lip-sync performance.

How It Works: Workflow & Tech Stack

Product Visual Reference: Start with a studio-quality image of the product (e.g. the 818 Tequila bottle) ⟶

Why This Matters to Brands

Available on-demand UGC with consistent branding and tone — setup once, scale infinitely.
Substantial cost & time savings vs. coordinating real-world shoots.
Complete control over soft brand mentions and speaking points.
24/7 scalability, personalization, and flexible versions for different platforms (TikTok, Reels, Sponsored Stories).
Allows brands to have a “clean, influencer-grade testimonial” from an AI muse — it’s disposable, modifiable, and brand-safe at scale.

Zoryana’s Showcase

Zoryana (@aurazory) — my proprietary AI model creative, launched last week on Contra & Instagram. She’s the face, voice, and personality central to all generated UGC content.
