Well, now there is GeneratedDB…a database designed for AI creators and the generated AI characters. Generated Group CEO Tanya Porquez…

“There are so many creators out there and so many people are getting into this video AI video space. But so many are just doing it on their own, they’re using different social media platforms to be their distribution channel. But you know the way the algorithms work is that it is here today and gone tomorrow. So it’s a good idea to have a unified destination where creators can actually come and they can create their own online profiles.”

Even profiles for the AI characters they’ve created.

“Entertainment, the movie Mustangs, the Explorer that’s in Jurassic Park. We’re covering a lot of those with artifacts rather than with vehicles. The other thing we’ve talked about, we have an innovation case. Ford developed Ford Charcoal which later became Kingsford when we sold it to them.

Bryant is a veteran of the CIA, where she spent about two decades, and of Google. Cello is free and offers up daily coaching on making the most of AI tools..

“So sometimes the prompts are there to help you think more critically. Sometimes they’re there for productivity. For example a lot of AI tools right now have calendar integrations and so I might have a prompt that says hack your calendar to make sure you have blocked off time for your commute. Because the AI now can read your calendar and edit your calendar for you. And so that’s just a quick way to get a head start on your week.”

The app, again, is free for iOS and Android. Learn more at Celloai.app.
