Move Over Social Media. The Age of Your AI Self Has Arrived.

Selfie launches the world's first platform that lets anyone create an articulate and authentic digital version of themselves in minutes.

CHICAGO, IL — 8/4/26 — For the past two decades, the internet has been about sharing content. Selfie believes the next era will be about effortlessly sharing yourself.

Today, Selfie.com officially launched a first-of-its-kind platform that allows anyone to create an intelligent, interactive AI version of themselves—a digital twin that can answer questions, engage followers, and represent its creator online 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Whether you're an athlete, artist, entrepreneur, educator, executive, influencer, or simply someone with a story to tell and share, a Selfie transforms your existing content into an AI-powered version of you that never sleeps.

"The next billion AI users won't build software—they'll build themselves," said Howard Tullman, one of the co-founders of Selfie. "Every major technology wave has changed how people connect. Social media let us broadcast outbound and wait for comments. Selfie lets people have immediate, interactive and responsive conversations with us—even when we're otherwise occupied."

Unlike traditional AI tools that require technical expertise or hours of setup, Selfie automatically builds each digital twin using existing content from Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, podcasts, Substack, websites, documents, videos, and more. In just minutes, users can launch an AI-infused version of themselves that reflects their personality, knowledge, tone and communication style, and which can even speak in their own voice.

The result is an always-on digital presence capable of engaging audiences, answering questions, promoting events, recommending products, supporting customers, and creating deeper relationships with followers around the world. Selfie also provides creators with multiple earning opportunities while freeing them up to concentrate on the day-to-day work that they love doing.

From Social Profiles to AI Personalities

Selfie isn't another chatbot. It represents a new generation of personal AI—one where every individual owns a digital version of themselves that grows smarter as new content is created and their Selfie seamlessly interacts with fans, followers, clients and customers.

Instead of static profiles, creators gain dynamic AI companions that continue conversations long after an initial post is published.

Instead of FAQ pages, organizations can deploy constantly updated interactive experts.

Instead of waiting for replies, fans can chat digitally with the people they admire.

Selfie also announced a new referral program designed to accelerate adoption by rewarding creators for introducing their audiences to the Selfie app and platform while generating recurring revenue opportunities.

As AI rapidly becomes part of everyday life, Selfie believes every creator, professional, business, school, nonprofit, and public figure will eventually have an intelligent digital counterpart.

The company aims to make building one as simple as creating a social media account.

"We're not trying to replace social media," Tullman said. "We're building what comes next."

Launched in Chicago around Lollapalooza with more than 1200 initial Selfies up and operating by Andrew and Jon Landan a/k/a “The Landan Twins” who head up Selfie’s marketing team, “what comes next” is already here to stay.
