AI Actors are virtual characters with consistent facial identity that you can generate in unlimited photoshoots and videos. Unlike traditional AI image generators that create random faces each time, AI Actors remember who they are — giving you the same person across every generation.

?

What Are AI Actors?

Think of it as having your own virtual model on-demand. Define their appearance once, then create content featuring them in any scenario you can imagine.

AI Actors solve the biggest limitation of AI image generators: consistency. You could generate a stunning image of a person, but generating that same person again in a different pose or setting? Nearly impossible — until now.
