Is this the future of working from home? People are making ‘digital clones’ of themselves that attend Zoom meetings and answer emails
People all over the world are creating digital “clones” that work for them in the real world, allowing them to enjoy life and still earn a million dollar salary.
Music producer !Illmind recently launched “all his wisdom” with an AI-powered bot called “BlapGPT” that provides advice to aspiring producers, and alternative medicine advocate Deepak Chopra created a lifelike AI version of himself that is summoned to Zoom.
The demand for cloning has paved the way for startups, with some saying these digital creations contain “artificial consciousness.”
DailyMail.com spoke to Delphi’s founder, who said it uses podcasts, videos, PDFs and other similar content to generate an accurate clone that can mimic the user’s thoughts and speech – and that process can take just an hour to last.

Dara Ladjevardian, co-founder of Delphi, said online creators, influencers and business professionals use Delphi to create “clones” of themselves and have taught their digital personalities to communicate with each other just like the real person.
The company charges a monthly fee for digital clones, starting at $19 and going up to $399, but customers can pay for more features such as a clone phone number.
Influencers can also link their digital creations to apps like Spotify and Instagram, but Delphi charges a 15 to 10 percent commission for this.
Ladjevardian explained that customers come to Delphi’s ‘Clone Studio’ to create a virtual version of themselves.
“The clone will learn how they think about the world,” Ladjevardian said.
“We have a readiness score that shows how ‘ready’ a clone is to represent that person.
“They can also upload their voices so the clone also learns how they speak.”
People must show a Delphi photo ID while creating their “clone” so that people cannot create unauthorized clones to impersonate others.
Ladjevardian said coaches and experts use the service to reach more people.
“Coaches or experts whose time is usually very expensive can now give infinite people the opportunity to learn from them in a personalized way, at a much lower cost (or for free),” he said.
Ladjevardian believes that one day everyone will have a clone.

“We’ll be launching video calling at the end of May so you can send your clone to a Zoom or Google meet to hold meetings for you, answer questions, and gather information,” the co-founder continued.
In Japan, Alt.AI makes video clones of people so realistic that they even seem impatient when you’re not typing while chatting with them.

Alt.AI has cloned 100 employees, with the clones absorbing data from emails, Slack, and other communications – and can communicate on behalf of the employees.
The clones continue to work even when the employees are on vacation – and are paid by the company.
Alt.AI says: “Our system is the first and only payroll system in the world that pays additional salaries to the employees themselves based on the productivity of their AI clones.”
The company created a clone of Dentsu Digital president Kou Takimoto last year, claiming the photoreal video clone has “artificial consciousness.”
Alt.AI has boasted that the cloned boss can share his “personality, thoughts, management philosophy, and other topics that employees would normally find difficult to ask questions about or communicate with” with regular employees.
The start-up Coachvox.AI has customers who pay up to $47 per month for access to a digital clone of themselves – with the clone providing life coaching and business coaching based on the thoughts of the real person.

Jodie Cook, founder of Coachvox.AI told DailyMail.com that clones trained on someone’s YouTube and their own thoughts are far superior to AI systems like ChatGPT.
‘If you ask ChatGPT to describe a happy relationship, you’ll get an answer based on all the training data. The answer will be generic and weak because it is based on the average of the entire Internet, Cook said.
“If you ask a relationship coach to describe a happy relationship, he will tell you his strong opinion. These opinions are why their audience follows them.
‘If that relationship coach creates his digital clone, his audience can be coached based on those strong opinions, and not on generic internet information.
Coachvox.ai has already helped “hundreds” of creators launch their digital clones – with some earning thousands of dollars a month, and others seeing their clones reach thousands of customers, the founder explained.
‘It is clear that coaches and opinion leaders cannot ignore AI. As their audiences become accustomed to personalized knowledge, on demand, 24 hours a day, it makes sense that they position themselves as the ever-present expert voice, within their specific industry,” said Cook.
Cook believes cloning technology will become widespread.
She said: ‘As technology improves, the digital clones will be more accurate and able to perform complex tasks and make very high quality conversations.
“Societal norms plus technological advancement equal mainstream behavior.”
