While creating a post of common Sales Terms, ChatGPT asked: “Would you like me to create a Week 1 Visual Summary Card (200×200 or square carousel) to accompany this — something that maps the five stages as a continuous flow?” I simply replied, “yes.” It created the first version — a plain black-and-white image. So I followed up with one simple thought: “An image that is more visually appealing.” That’s it. And the second image? ✅ Vibrant ✅ Polished ✅ Ready to post 💡 Lesson: With ChatGPT, if a thought crosses your mind — type it. You never know which small prompt will spark a big improvement.

After successfully creating a few selfie avatar images in the first 30 minutes, in this post, I move on to test Synthesia video creation in various scenes using my likeness and a stock avatar. App: Synthesia.io🕒 Time: 60 Minutes 📂 Topic: Selfie and Stock Avatar Video What is Synthesia.io? Synthesia is an AI video and image creation platform that allows users to generate professional-looking videos using AI avatars and voiceovers. With just a few clicks, you can turn text into polished images and videos—featuring yourself or others—with zero production skills required. Quick Start: Simply uploaded five different headshots—and started creating videos with a few clever prompts. 💡 The videos below are 100% AI-generated using text prompts and one video uses a presentation template. No edits. No enhancements. These are very rough as I was trying out a wide range of prompt scenarios. Hand gestures are very unnatural, and I will need to smile more on refined head shots to better show my upper lip.
