Why Transforming Creator Content into AI Personalities Matters
The rise of AI-driven engagement offers creators an unmatched opportunity to expand their influence beyond traditional social media. By transforming your content into an interactive AI personality, you can deepen audience engagement, scale interactions, and maintain authenticity. Imagine a digital version of yourself available 24/7—answering fan questions, providing personalized advice, or interacting with your audience in real-time. This not only strengthens your connection with followers but also opens up new revenue streams and community-building opportunities.
How We Did It: Building an AI Personality from Social Media Content
In this section, we’ll walk through the exact process we used to convert Jeremiah Offord’s social media content into a fully functional AI personality. Our approach focused on leveraging OpenHome’s capabilities to efficiently transform creator advice into dynamic, interactive conversations. Here’s how we did it:
Step 1: Curating and Collecting Content
Our first priority was to gather a comprehensive dataset of Jeremiah’s social media content, specifically focusing on his TikTok videos. His account is rich with advice on dating and relationships, making it the ideal source for training our AI personality.
To streamline content collection, we used a free, off-the-shelf tool called Tokscript (note: we are not affiliated with this service). While various methods exist for content extraction, we chose a practical and easily replicable solution. This tool enabled us to efficiently download transcripts from TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels. By generating text-based transcripts from Jeremiah’s last 12 months of TikTok content, we compiled a dataset of approximately 13,600 words spread across 38 pages.
The content we selected for transcription was intentional—we focused on videos that best aligned with the dating advice Jeremiah is known for, taking a more curated approach vs. high volume. By filtering out off-topic content or anything that didn’t fit the intended tone, we ensured the AI personality would truly reflect his signature style and voice while remaining adaptable for the mission-specific use case we were targeting. The goal was to create an AI capable of offering new dating advice inspired by Jeremiah’s content, rather than simply repeating his existing videos verbatim.
Step 2: Analyzing the Data Set
Our initial analysis went beyond simply gathering data—it was about truly understanding the nuances of how Jeremiah communicates. Preserving his unique tone and style was crucial for ensuring authenticity within any AI ecosystem. This next phase involved processing and analyzing the content to identify recurring themes, core advice points, and stylistic elements. Our goal was to capture Jeremiah’s distinctive tone, language, and the essential advice he shares with his audience.
To achieve this, we prompted GPT to “read the following TikTok transcripts and pull all of the dating advice into an itemized list; use the same words and terms” and then fed it batches of raw text transcription content collected from Step 1. By analyzing the transcripts and extracting dating advice into an organized list, we maintained Jeremiah’s original phrasing and terminology. This ensured that familiar phrases like “the Care Bear method” or “nonchalant” were preserved, allowing the final AI personality to not only deliver relevant advice but also use language that Jeremiah’s followers would instantly recognize.
This approach allowed us to create a comprehensive list of Jeremiah’s unique dating advice that formed the backbone of the AI personality. More importantly, it demonstrated that even with a relatively small dataset (around 13,000 words), effective extraction and structuring of insights could provide a robust foundation for personality development.
Step 3: Persona Development – Crafting the AI’s Self-Identity Prompt
Once we had a structured list of advice, we turned our attention to defining the AI’s persona. The key was to establish a strong foundation by first training GPT on conversational history from the raw text data from Jeremiah’s transcripts, giving the model a solid understanding of his content before shifting focus to tone and personality prompt development.
To create a consistent AI personality, we prompted GPT with questions like, “Now write a prompt with an example script to nail the language and style of Jeremiah.” This helped generate self-descriptive prompts that guided GPT into creating prompts for our team that had a tone consistent with Jeremiah’s social media presence. The result was a clear prompt for personality persona description:
“You are a TikTok influencer giving advice about relationships, speaking in a casual, relatable, and sometimes humorous tone. Your audience is young and primarily female, and you often offer dating tips, self-improvement advice, or insights on handling tricky social situations. You speak in a conversational style, using popular slang, straightforward explanations, and a bit of sass.”
This persona framing ensured that the AI’s responses were not only accurate but also consistent with Jeremiah’s established brand voice. It allowed the AI to deliver advice in a way that felt authentic to his style, maintaining both relevance and relatability.
Step 4: Tone and Style Refinement
After developing the initial persona prompt, we refined the AI’s tone and scripting to align with the conversational style Jeremiah is known for; we wanted to ensure the AI personality would feel like a direct extension of Jeremiah’s brand. Less is often more when it comes to personality performance in AI, so we optimized the prompts to be as concise and effective as possible.
Using the initial prompts crafted in Step 2 and 3, we requested “shorter, more actionable versions example scripts” to simplify the interaction. By making prompts more concise, and giving GPT specific examples of what to say in a script format, we maintained an efficient and high-performing prompt structure that was easy to implement within OpenHome.
For instance, we asked GPT to generate brief advice snippets in Jeremiah’s voice, such as:
“Example Script: Y’all ever notice how he’s the first to watch your IG stories but can’t respond to a text? Here’s why: First, he’s trying to play it cool, acting like he doesn’t care, but he’s low-key obsessed. Second, he’s waiting for YOU to make the move. Sis, don’t do it. Let him chase you!”
This approach allowed us to streamline the language while preserving the relatable, conversational tone that defines Jeremiah’s content. By refining and shortening the prompts, we ensured a more natural flow for the AI, allowing it to deliver quick, engaging advice in Jeremiah’s signature style.
Step 5: Creating the Master Prompt for OpenHome Integration
With our refined scripts and persona prompts in place, the next step was to integrate the work completed in Steps 1-4, into a master prompt within OpenHome—a cohesive framework that would guide the AI’s interactions on OpenHome. The goal was to encapsulate Jeremiah’s tone, style, and approach into a single prompt structure that could be used consistently across different conversations.
The final prompt structure looked like this:
Personality Name: Dating with Jeremiah
Persona Description: “You are a dating coach giving advice. Speak casually, Your tone should feel like a friend keeping it real—relatable, humorous, and authentic.”
Example Scripts: Real-world advice and tips that reflect Jeremiah’s conversational style.
Content References: A comprehensive list of advice distilled from Jeremiah’s TikToks for use in dynamic conversations.
This prompt serves as the personality description and purpose prompts in the OpenHome platform.
Step 6: Voice Customization
For the final touch, we wanted the AI personality to not only sound like Jeremiah in terms of language but also in voice. Using OpenHome’s integration with ElevenLabs’ instant voice cloning, we created a voice that closely matched Jeremiah’s speaking style.
First, we logged into our OpenHome account and navigated to Settings > API Keys. We updated the ElevenLabs API key using the one from our existing 11 Labs account, (following the quickstart guide). Once done, we saved the changes.
After downloading TikToks with clear audio, we compiled a 2-minute MP3 of his voice and used ElevenLabs’ instant voice cloning to create a custom voice and ID. We then imported this Voice ID into OpenHome
This new voice was then linked to the AI personality, adding another layer of authenticity to the user experience.
Highlighting Real-World Impact
Beyond dating advice, this approach can be applied across various niches. For instance, fitness coaches could develop AI personalities to deliver personalized workout tips, mental health advocates could offer real-time supportive advice, and educators could automate responses to frequently asked questions. The possibilities are endless, enabling creators to extend their reach and engagement without being limited by time or availability.
Conclusion
Our collaboration with TikTok creator Jeremiah Offord wasn’t just an experiment in turning social media content into an AI personality—it was proof that content creators can now extend their influence beyond traditional platforms. By transforming Jeremiah’s unique voice and authentic dating advice into a dynamic, interactive AI, we created a digital extension of his presence that resonates with his followers while offering new, personalized ways for them to engage.
