  Digital Avatars Are Ending Human Livestreamers. And What to Do About It. (296)

  Sep 8, 202647 minS1

  This week’s podcast is about my recent tour to Hangzhou and Alibaba headquarters. And my 3 take-aways from the epicenter of ecommerce meets AI and agents. You can listen to this podcast here , which has the slides and graphics mentioned. Also available at iTunes and Google Podcasts . Here is the link to TechMoat Consulting . Here is the link to our Tech Tours . My big take-aways are: Agentic Commerce Is Now an Arms Race Everyone needs to upgrade their capabilities with AI and agents to stay competitive. And then repeat. And repeat again. Human KOLs and Content Creators Have Already Peaked. Livestreaming is already shifting to digital avatars. Other content creator types will follow. The future of content creation and KOLs is mostly not-human. Digital Livestreamers Have Arrived in Ecommerce. Entertainment and Thought Leaders Are Next. My playbook for human content creators / KOLs is: Focus on topics where being human matters: Taste and curation . What wine is better vs. what laptop is better. Irreversible and/or critical decisions . Situations where you can't do it over and judgement matters. There is an advancing frontier of knowledge . There is no existing online database of expertise. Think new AI tools, not history. Use a multi-format approach: Focus on building personal relationships . Such as in communities and events. Both online and offline. Make your content super authentic. Ideally videos instead of text or voice. Make it clear this is a human. Deploy an avatar army . Your solo content is not enough. You need an army creating content 24/7. This can be clones of yourself or similar personas. The mentioned photos are here . Disclosure. I have had a education partnership with Alibaba within the past twelve months. ------- I am a consultant & keynote speaker on how to increase digital growth and strengthen digital AI moats.
