Steps
Platform and compliance check
30 minPlatform rules + you
Confirm the target platform's requirements for digital-human streams (some require a visible AI label) and category licenses; read the rules first to avoid a ban.
💡Compliance is the first gate; missing AI labels, bait copy and prohibited goods are the top ban triggers.
Avatar
1-2 hoursSilicon Intelligence / Tencent Zhiying / HeyGen
Pick a preset avatar or clone a real presenter; the avatar should match the brand/goods vibe, with natural motion and lip sync.
💡Lip sync follows punctuation — normalize the script's punctuation before feeding the system.
Script
1-2 hoursChatGPT / Claude
Write live-sell copy (open with a hook, product explain, upsell, Q&A) in loop segments so the avatar can keep talking; prepare standard answers for frequent questions.
💡Design copy in 3-5 minute loops so you can adjust nodes for stock and price live.
Smart interaction
1 hourConsole + AI Q&A
Wire comment auto-reply: FAQ copy for common questions, fallback or human handoff for complex ones; set banned-word interception.
💡Interaction keeps people in the room; comment response speed matters more than fancy copy.
Studio setup
1-2 hoursStreaming companion / console
Configure encoding, background, overlays, product shelf and coupons; test audio-video sync and latency with a 10-minute trial stream.
💡Trial at low traffic for an hour before scaling ad spend; don't burn budget on day one.
Data optimization
Per sessionStreaming analytics
Watch entry rate, dwell, engagement and conversion; feed metrics to the AI to review copy and pacing, then iterate the next session.
💡The bottleneck is usually script and interaction, not the avatar; A/B test copy variants.
Tools involved
Pitfalls to avoid
Platform review and bans
Stiff looping copy
Interaction falling behind
Out-of-sync lips and audio
