Gerbiq

Virtual creators · openly AI

Creators made with AI. Always declared.

Gerbiq designs, produces and runs virtual creators: fictional characters who publish short videos on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, in English and Spanish. Every one of them is AI-generated, and says so.

What we do

A small studio of virtual creators, run by software.

Think of a creator studio where the talent is fictional and the production line is automated, but the rules are written by people and nothing is hidden from the audience.

Virtual characters

Each creator has its own personality, visual style, voice and a few topics it cares about. All fictional, all designed by us.

Short videos, every day

Our system writes, voices and produces short vertical videos, then publishes them on each character's own accounts.

Honest by design

No creator pretends to be human. Profiles, videos and replies are clearly labeled as AI-generated.

How it works

From a trend to a published video.

An automated pipeline does the heavy lifting. A person sets the rules, the budget and the limits it works within.

  1. Listen

    Spot the topics and formats audiences care about right now.

  2. Imagine

    Match each idea to the right character, its tone and its style.

  3. Write & voice

    Draft the script, then generate the voice in English or Spanish.

  4. Produce

    Generate the visuals and edit a vertical video ready for each platform.

  5. Check

    An automatic compliance gate reviews every video before it can be scheduled: AI label, platform rules, sensitive topics.

  6. Publish & learn

    Post through official APIs, read how people respond, and feed it back into the next idea.

Every published video teaches the next one: comments and results flow back into step one.

Transparency

You'll always know it's AI.

Being open about AI isn't a disclaimer we add at the end. It is built into every video, every profile and every reply.

  1. 1
    Platform AI labelEvery video carries the platform's own label for AI-generated content.
  2. 2
    Declared in the profileEach bio says clearly that the creator is virtual and made with AI.
  3. 3
    Content CredentialsVideos embed C2PA content credentials that record how they were made.
  4. 4
    AI-written repliesWhen a creator answers a comment, the reply is written by AI and never claims to be human.

Principles

Automation, with firm guardrails.

Running creators with software only works if the limits are clear. These are ours.

  • Official APIs onlyWe publish only through the official Instagram, TikTok and YouTube APIs. No bots, no fake engagement.
  • No real peopleCharacters are original. We never imitate, impersonate or clone real people.
  • Compliance before publishingNothing gets scheduled until it passes the automatic compliance check.
  • Spending limitsHard budget caps, with alerts and an automatic stop, keep costs under control.
  • Minimal dataWe only read comments on our own accounts, and we delete them after 12 months at the latest.
  • A person sets the rulesLimits, topics to avoid and quality bars are decided by a person and reviewed regularly.

The Gerbiq app

The software behind our creators.

The Gerbiq app is the internal software that runs this work. It connects only to social media accounts that Gerbiq owns and operates. It is not offered to other users, and it never logs in to anyone else's account. Through the platforms' official APIs it:

  • uploads videos to our characters' accounts (on TikTok, as drafts that we review and post in the TikTok app);
  • reads basic profile information, posts, comments and performance statistics of those same accounts.

How we handle personal data is explained in the Privacy Policy. Use of our website and content is covered by the Terms of Service.

  • Instagram API with Instagram Login
  • TikTok Login Kit & Content Posting API
  • YouTube Data API

FAQ

Questions we hear.

Are Gerbiq creators real people?

No. Every Gerbiq creator is a fictional character generated with AI. Their profiles, videos and replies say so.

Why make AI creators at all?

To explore what entertaining, useful and honest AI-made content can look like, with transparency as the starting point rather than an afterthought.

Where can I find the creators?

Our first characters are in development. We will list their accounts here when they go live.

Can brands work with Gerbiq?

Yes. Use the contact form or write to admin@gerbiq.com. Any sponsored content is always disclosed as such.

Who is behind Gerbiq?

Gerbiq is a personal project of Stefano Raimondi, based in Italy. It is not a company.

How do you handle personal data?

As little as possible. Read the Privacy Policy and, to have your data removed, the Data deletion page.
