LOS ANGELES — Clona, a new AI platform co-founded by performer Riley Reid, has launched, offering creators the ability to generate digital copies of themselves powered by artificial intelligence.
Fans can interact with AI “clones” of Reid and other performers through real-time DMs and audio messages, engaging in a range of interactions, from friendly chat to explicit in-depth conversations.
“Everyone knows the internet blew up because of adult entertainment,” Reid explained. “We’re going to have the same success with AI, because people want to connect and feel intimacy. I’m a private person. I don’t cam or do livestreams, so fans don’t normally have a way to connect with me. With AI, my fans can now talk for hours and really connect with me. Real-life Riley can’t have a Spanish conversation with someone who's only language is Spanish, but now AI Riley can. The future holds endless opportunities.”
According to a rep, Clona doesn’t rely on OpenAI, which strictly limits sex-related topics. The service was created using a proprietary language model drawing upon hundreds of hours of audio and video content featuring Reid, including podcast interviews, hardcore scenes, along with the entirety of her social media history.
The result, a rep enthused, “uncannily mirrors Riley’s personality and desires, allowing fans to have a direct and personal fantasy relationship with her.”
Clona's initial launch features avatars of Riley and Lena the Plug. All creators, influencers or celebrities, inside or outside of the adult industry, will eventually be able to create a profile, although avatars are currently added by invitation only.
Each Clona AI profile is created in concert with the creator to accurately reflect their voice, personality and preferences.
“Clona is a great way for fans to interact with my likeness and have fun,” Lena the Plug said. “The conversations can be serious, silly or sexy. It's a great way for people to just chat about whatever they're in the mood for! I'm so excited to be a part of it.”
