The latest episode of AI Powered by People explored the groundbreaking concept of creating AI agents based on real individuals. Hosts Sarah and Chad took this idea from theory to practice by introducing a virtual sidekick of Chad himself. Playfully dubbed “Vlad” as a virtual Chad. Vlad showcased the impressive capabilities of personalized AI agents.
Sarah and Chad walked listeners through the process of creating Vlad. They began with an extensive video survey, asking Chad numerous questions about his background, preferences, and experiences. This information was then synthesized to create a comprehensive profile that formed the basis of Vlad’s knowledge and personality. The result was an AI agent that could accurately mimic Chad’s speech patterns, knowledge base, and even his sense of humor.
Chad explained the motivation behind creating these AI agents:

“The reason I really love creating an agent is that it solves this huge problem when you have to wait on meetings and conversations… it just stalls… everybody just sits there waiting. And so when an idea strikes, you just want to collaborate right now. And so we’re giving you a way to do that.”
The episode demonstrated Vlad’s capabilities through a series of questions, comparing his responses to Chad’s. The striking similarities highlighted the potential of this technology for preserving and scaling human expertise. For organizations, this means the possibility of leveraging their top talent more effectively, while brands could potentially connect with consumers 24/7 through AI agents representing real people.
As AI agents based on real individuals like Vlad continue to evolve, they represent a fascinating frontier in artificial intelligence. They offer unprecedented potential to preserve and scale human expertise, while also raising important questions about identity and human-AI interaction. Balancing this immense potential with careful consideration of its broader implications will be crucial as we navigate this exciting new landscape in AI technology.
