Let’s step back for a moment and address a fundamental question: Who would want a digital clone? Is it just a tool for the self-obsessed, or evenfor someone with malicious intent? The answer is a resounding no. A digital clone is a tool for anyone who shares their ideas with the world. It’s a powerful extension of who you are and what you offer.
Think about it why do you have a LinkedIn page? Why create a video, offer an online course, or write a book? The answer is simple: you have ideas that can help others. A digital clone is just another tool in your communication toolkit, but with a twist it allows for personalized, one-on- one interaction, arguably the most powerful form of communication.
Consider the most significant moments in your life: getting hired for a dream job, proposing to your partner, or having a deep conversation with a family member. These are all one-on-one interactions. While I’m not suggesting that interacting with a digital clone is as personal as proposing to someone, it does mimic the intimate nature of direct communication. That’s why a digital clone is so valuable.
Anyone who makes a living with their mind by creating intellectual property, sharing expertise, or helping others with their ideas can benefit from having a digital, interactive clone. This isn’t just about text or audio; it’s
about visual communication, too. A video clone can convey more than words alone facial expressions, body language, and the subtleties of your presence all contribute to the message.
Now, some people may start with just text, and that’s fine. But think about it: if someone wanted to interview you for a job, would they be satisfied with just texting their questions? Of course not. For important communication, people want to see you, talk to you, and interact with you. They want personalized responses that feel authentic and relevant.
Nothing will ever fully replace in-person conversations they’re irreplaceable. But the reality is, you can’t be everywhere at once. You can’t speak every language, and you can’t work 24/7. Your digital clone, however, can.
Who Benefits from a Digital Clone?
Authors, experts, online teachers, trainers, coaches, public speakers, salespeople, customer service reps anyone who needs to communicate ideas, facts, or insights to clients, customers, or prospects. A digital clone can expand your reach and allow you to connect with more people in more meaningful ways.
Let’s consider the implications in popular culture. Initially, early adopters will likely be those who can instantly monetize the technology salespeople, customer service reps, authors, and experts who already face high demand for their time. But soon, this will be everyone. Imagine being a 22-year-old job seeker. Wouldn’t it be great if potential employers could interact with your clone while you’re asleep? A five-minute conversation with your
clone could be the difference between getting a callback or being overlooked.
There’s a misconception that if you have a digital clone, no one will ever want to speak with you in person again. That’s not the case. In fact, the more people interact with your clone, the more likely they are to want to connect with you directly whether in person or through a live Zoom call.
Beyond the Professional Sphere
We need to think about this technology broadly. It’s not just for professional speakers, trainers, or online coaches though it’s incredibly useful for those groups. It’s for anyone who uses their brain to create and share intellectual property.
And don’t think you need a book or a series of online courses to create your clone. If you’ve ever had a valuable conversation with a client or colleague, all you need to do is record it via Zoom or your phone upload that content into your digital clone, and now anyone can access it from anywhere.
That’s the true value of a digital clone and why it will soon become essential for everyone. If you’ve ever created a résumé or a LinkedIn page, then a digital clone especially one that’s interactive, video-based, and capable of text and audio communication is the perfect tool for you.
