Frequently Asked Questions
What is a digital twin in the context of UGC video?
In UGC video, a digital twin is the AI-generated double of a real person (often a brand founder or a brand-owned creator) used to generate ads in their likeness without scheduling shoots. The same digital twin can produce hundreds of videos with consistent face, voice, and style. UGC Copilot's AI Twin product is a digital twin system specifically tuned for UGC creative.
How is a digital twin different from a deepfake?
Digital twins are created with the source person's explicit consent and used for ads they've approved. Deepfakes are unauthorized — someone else's likeness applied without consent. The technology overlaps; the consent and disclosure model is what separates them. Reputable platforms like UGC Copilot enforce consent verification at setup.
How long does it take to build a digital twin?
Roughly 5–10 minutes on UGC Copilot. You upload 30–60 seconds of voice audio and 3–5 photos at different angles. The system trains the voice clone and generates the matching face model in parallel. Once built, the digital twin can be re-used unlimited times across video generations on your account.
