Talking AI Agents

A talking AI agent for your customers.

Your website stops being a brochure and starts having conversations. A talking AI agent greets every visitor face to face, answers their questions in a natural voice, books the appointment and captures the lead — at 2 p.m. or 2 a.m., in whatever language your customer speaks.

01Creative Strategist

You don't need ten AI tools. You need a strategist who runs them all for you.

Cinematic stills from the Creative Strategist film

A creative strategist is what big brands pay agencies six figures for: someone who owns your story, your look and your output, end to end. AvatarAgency gives you that, powered by the same AI the big brands are racing to adopt. You approve. We produce.

  • Brand & story strategyWho you are, who you serve, and the one message your market needs to hear — before anything is filmed.
  • Digital twin captureA guided photo and voice session becomes the foundation of every video we ever make for you.
  • Cinematic AI productionStoryboarded shot by shot, generated on the newest engines, hand-finished in a pro edit.
  • Your interactive avatarA version of you that greets website visitors and answers their questions, in your voice, 24/7.
  • Every format, every platformWidescreen for your site, vertical for social — ready to post everywhere your customers scroll.
  • A strategist on callNot a ticket queue. A person who knows your brand and tells you what to make next.

02Real Estate Agents & Brokers

Your brand should be working 24/7. You shouldn't have to.

No film crew. No drone operator. No three-week turnaround. Your digital avatar delivers listing videos, market updates and neighborhood tours — while your competition is still booking shoots.

A comparable traditionally produced listing package runs $3,000–$7,000 per property and takes weeks of coordination.

  • Listing showcasesCinematic property films and vertical reels for every listing — no drone, no crew.
  • Market updatesDelivered every month, on brand, to every buyer and seller in your market.
  • Neighborhood toursYour avatar walks your farm area so you can be out doing the actual work.

03Business & Influencers

One session. Endless content. Zero camera anxiety.

04Authors & Publishers

Your book was never meant to be hidden.

Cinematic book trailers, a talking author or character avatar, an author website and a launch campaign — the level of production once reserved for the biggest names in publishing.

“Your book was meant to be more than words on a page. It was meant to be seen. Heard. Felt.”Michael Rivera, Founder
  • Stage 01Already publishedYour book deserves a second wind. We build the full presence around it.
  • Stage 02About to launchBuild anticipation and arrive as a major presence, not just another release.
  • Stage 03Still an ideaBuild the brand now, so an audience is waiting when the book is finished.

05AI Referral Optimization

Your next customer isn't Googling you. They're asking an AI.

Every day people ask AI “who's the best near me?” — and it answers with two or three business names. If yours isn't one of them, that customer never knew you existed. We test five real customer questions on all five major AIs and make you the answer.

About AvatarAgency

Who is AvatarAgency?

A full-service AI marketing agency in Los Angeles, California, founded by Michael Rivera. We build digital twins, cinematic AI video and AI Referral Optimization for real estate agents, businesses, influencers and authors — and serve clients across the US remotely.

What does AvatarAgency do?

We put your brand everywhere without a film crew: talking AI agents for your website, digital twins, cinematic AI video, AI Referral Optimization and private Claude Coaching. Around that we handle social media marketing, marketing automation, websites that hold a conversation, and custom AI voice.

Who do you work with?

Owner-operated businesses that want the presence big brands pay agencies for: real estate agents and brokers, businesses and influencers, authors and publishers, and professionals such as dentists, lawyers and med spas.

Where are you located? Do you work with clients outside Los Angeles?

We are based in Los Angeles, California. Almost everything is delivered remotely, so we work with clients across the US.

What does it cost?

Every engagement is scoped to your market and goals on a free 30-minute strategy call. You leave knowing the number and the plan, with no obligation.

How fast will I see something?

Your first production is typically in your hands within weeks of your capture session — not months. Urgent projects can move faster.

How do I get started?

Three steps. Book a free strategy call — thirty minutes to map your market, your message and what to make first. Then one capture session becomes your digital twin while we storyboard, generate and hand-finish every piece. Then you show up everywhere, every month, while you run your business.

Talking AI agents

What is a talking AI agent?

A lifelike avatar on your website that speaks with visitors face to face, in real time. It answers questions in a natural voice, follows your customer's language, remembers returning visitors, books appointments on your calendar and captures every lead. We build three kinds: a digital twin of you, a custom avatar designed for your brand, or a ready-to-go presenter from our Signature Collection. Meet Ava.

Is Ava a real person?

No. Ava is a digital avatar created by AvatarAgency — and a live example of the talking AI agent we build for clients. Press Talk to Ava at the top of this page to have a real conversation with her.

What is the difference between a digital twin, a custom brand avatar and a ready-to-go avatar?

A digital twin is you — your face, your voice and your expertise. A custom brand avatar is an original character designed around your brand, your audience and your tone; it is not your face, and it is entirely yours. A ready-to-go avatar is a professional presenter from our Signature Collection, the fastest way to put a face on your front desk.

What can an AI agent do on my website?

Greet every visitor, answer their questions in a natural voice, explain your services, book the appointment and capture the lead — at 2 p.m. or 2 a.m. Every lead is sent to you as an alert.

Does the agent speak other languages?

Yes. It speaks your customer's language and follows them if they switch.

Can it book appointments on my calendar?

Yes. It books straight onto your calendar. Before it books, it reads the details back and asks the visitor to confirm they are correct — Ava does exactly this on our own calendar.

How does the agent know about my business?

It is trained on your own website and your offers, so it answers the way your business would.

Does it remember returning visitors?

Yes. A returning visitor is greeted as someone it has spoken with before, so the conversation picks up where it left off.

What roles can a ready-to-go avatar fill?

Customer service, sales, technical support, concierge, coaching, real estate assistant, patient coordinator, legal intake, a wealth advisor's assistant, front desk, onboarding and account management.

Digital twins & AI video

How does AI digital cloning work?

We capture your likeness and voice in a single session, then use that digital twin to produce professional video across every platform — without you showing up again. We generate cinematic footage on the newest AI engines, sync your cloned voice, and hand-finish every video in a professional edit.

Do I have to be on camera all the time?

Once. One guided capture session builds your digital twin. After that, we produce new video of you without you re-shooting anything.

I don't want to be on camera at all. Can you still help?

Yes. We can build an original AI persona or spokesperson exclusively for your brand, so you never appear on camera.

Will it look like “AI content”?

No — and that's the point of having a strategist. Every piece is storyboarded, generated on the best engine for the shot, and hand-finished in a professional edit. If it looks fake, it doesn't ship.

What platforms are the videos made for?

Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube and X — widescreen for your website and YouTube, vertical for social.

What is a creative strategist?

What big brands pay agencies six figures for: someone who owns your story, your look and your output, end to end. As your creative strategist, we handle brand and story strategy, your digital twin, cinematic AI production, your interactive avatar and every format for every platform. You approve. We produce.

Which AI tools do you use?

The newest engines, chosen shot by shot: HeyGen, ElevenLabs, Seedance 2.5, Kling 3.0, Higgsfield, fal.ai, Claude and Nano Banana Pro. You don't need ten AI tools — you need a strategist who runs them all for you.

Who owns my digital twin and the footage?

You do. The footage, audio and photography from your capture session are your sole and exclusive property upon final payment, and you own every source file. See our Likeness Protection commitments.

Will you use my likeness in your own marketing or to train AI?

No. We will never use your likeness without your written approval, never use your face or voice in our own marketing without your separate written consent, never use your recordings to train any AI model, and never share, transfer or sublicense your digital clone.

Can you create a custom AI voice?

Yes. We build a custom voice model trained on your recordings, for use across video, voiceovers, SMS and AI phone systems.

Real estate

How do AI videos help real estate agents?

Your digital avatar delivers listing showcases, monthly market updates and neighborhood tours — no film crew, no drone operator and no three-week turnaround. Explore real estate.

How does that compare with a traditional listing shoot?

A comparable traditionally produced listing package runs $3,000–$7,000 per property and takes weeks of coordination.

Can an AI agent answer property questions for me?

Yes. An interactive avatar on your website answers property questions and captures leads around the clock, while you are out doing the actual work.

Business & influencers

What do you make for businesses and influencers?

We become your outsourced video department: your clone or an original AI spokesperson, 4–8 branded short-form videos a month with the scripts written for you, and your YouTube channel managed. Explore business.

What are UGC-style AI ads?

Creator-style ads made with custom AI personas, built for paid campaigns and fast testing.

Do you handle social media and marketing automation too?

Yes. YouTube channel growth, Instagram DM funnels and LinkedIn authority and outreach — plus AI chatbots, comment-to-booked-call pipelines, AI voice that answers your phone and automated onboarding.

Authors & publishers

What do you offer authors and publishers?

Cinematic book trailers, a talking author or character avatar, an author website and a launch campaign — the level of production once reserved for the biggest names in publishing. Explore authors.

Can readers talk to my book's characters?

Yes. We build talking author avatars and illustrated character avatars that let readers have a conversation with you or with your characters.

My book isn't finished yet. Is it too early?

No. Whether your book is already published, about to launch or still an idea, we build the presence around it — so an audience is waiting when the book is finished.

AI Referral Optimization

What is AI Referral Optimization?

People now ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, Perplexity and Claude for recommendations, and the AI answers with two or three names. We make your business one of them — starting with a free AI Referral Audit that tests five real customer questions on all five AIs.

What is the free AI Referral Audit?

We ask five real customer questions on ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, Perplexity and Claude and record which businesses each one recommends. You get a plain-English report with a preliminary AI Referral Score within 48 hours. Get your free audit.

How is AI Referral Optimization different from SEO?

SEO works on where you rank in a list of links. AI Referral Optimization works on what AI assistants say when a customer asks them for a recommendation — through machine-readable structured data, FAQ content and consistent business listings. Learn more.

Can you guarantee that ChatGPT will recommend my business?

No one can guarantee a particular AI answer. We deliver the audit, the plan, the implementation and the measurement — and re-test the identical questions at 60–90 days to show what changed.

Why does AI search matter for a local business?

45% of consumers used AI tools to find a local business in the past year, and 63% of AI users trust the AI's recommendation for local businesses (BrightLocal 2026 Local Consumer Review Survey). If your business isn't one of the names it gives, that customer never knew you existed.

Claude Coaching

What is Claude Coaching?

A private, one-on-one working session — not a course and not a webinar — built in your real account, on your real data. You leave with AI already running your busywork. See the 90 minutes.

What happens in the 90 minutes?

An intake where we learn the three tasks eating most of your week, then foundations and prompt structure, connecting your real Gmail, calendar and files live, and building your business second brain. Afterward you get a written playbook and road map, plus 30 days of an on-call coach.

How much does Claude Coaching cost?

$497 flat, with a premium option that adds done-for-you setup and a 30-day follow-up. It starts with a free 15-minute discovery call.

Do I need to be technical?

No. The session guides every click, in your own account.

Is Claude Coaching affiliated with Anthropic?

No. Claude Coaching is independently operated by AvatarAgency and is not affiliated with Anthropic.

Portfolio & speaking

Can I see examples of your client work?

Yes. Our clients' films stay private by agreement, so we email you a private link to the full portfolio — real estate, dental, higher education, speaking and publishing. Request the private portfolio.

Do you speak at events?

Yes. THRIVE is our keynote and workshop duo — THRIVE Doctor and Special Agent Rivera bring the AI era to your stage. Book THRIVE.
