Now that you’ve created your digital clone, it’s time to integrate it with the rest of the world. This is where the real magic happens, as your clone
becomes a part of your communication strategy, accessible to your audience through various platforms and channels. Let’s walk through the integration process step by step.
- Integration Settings
Start by accessing the integration settings in your clone’s studio. This is where you set up the basic information that your audience will see and interact with.
Clone Name and Handle: Ensure your clone is clearly identified. Initially, I named my clone “TJ Walker,” but it’s crucial to label it accurately as “TJ Walker’s Clone” to avoid confusion or ethical concerns.
Initial Message: This is the first thing users will see when they interact with your clone. For my general clone, I use a simple message: “Hi, I’m TJ’s clone. How may I help you?” Keep it brief and to the point.
Message When Unable to Answer: It’s important to have a friendly and honest message ready for when your clone doesn’t have an answer. Mine says, “Wow, you got me. I don’t know the answer to that. Please email my team at producer@tjwalker.com.” This keeps the interaction human and approachable.
Email Capture Settings: Decide how many interactions a user can have with your clone before they need to provide their email address. I’ve set mine to allow five interactions, balancing user engagement with the value exchange.
Citations: Depending on your field, you might want your clone to show citations for the information it provides. This is particularly useful in regulated industries like law or medicine. For my purposes in communication and personal development, I’ve opted not to clutter the interaction with citations.
File Sending and Voice/Video Calling: Enable these features if you want users to be able to send files or engage in voice and video calls with your clone. I’ve enabled both because they add significant value to the interaction.
Disclaimer and Talk Page Settings: You can add a disclaimer to clarify the limitations of your clone’s advice, especially in legal or medical contexts. The talk page can also be disabled if necessary, though I’ve chosen to keep mine active.
- Website Integration
Integrating your clone directly into your website is a powerful way to make it accessible to your audience. I’ve connected my clone to my website, allowing visitors to interact with it without needing to navigate to a separate platform. This seamless integration enhances user experience and keeps them engaged on your site.
- External Integrations
Phone Integration: Your clone can have its own phone number, making it easy for you or others to demonstrate its capabilities in person. I often use this feature when explaining the concept of a clone to someone new.
WhatsApp: Many people prefer communicating via WhatsApp, especially in different parts of the world. By integrating your clone with WhatsApp, you make it even more accessible. This is a feature I highly recommend enabling.
Other Integrations: Depending on your audience, you might want to integrate your clone with platforms like Discord or use the clone API for more customized solutions. These external integrations extend the reach of your clone and allow it to interact with users on their preferred platforms.
Final Thoughts
Integrating your digital clone into various platforms and ensuring it’s accessible wherever your audience is will maximize its impact. This chapter has covered the essential steps, but remember that integration is just the beginning. The more places your clone can be accessed, the more value it will provide to your audience.
Now that your clone is integrated with the world, it’s time to let it shine. Your clone is now not just a tool but a vital part of your communication strategy, ready to engage with your audience in meaningful ways.
