AI Agent Clone Tutorial Notes

Introduction

  • The presenter has created an AI agent clone of themselves.
  • Demonstrates the AI interaction using an audio message.
  • The AI responds similarly to the presenter's voice and uses a humorous title "Count Jonno."

Getting Started

  • The tutorial provides a free blueprint to download from the YouTube channel description.
  • Use the combination of NAND (for automation and AI agent) and 11 Labs (for voice cloning).

Community and Resources

  • A community was launched a month ago with over 300 members.
  • Offers additional blueprints, content, courses, and weekly group calls for tech help.

Building the AI Agent Clone

  1. Create a Trigger
    • Using Telegram to receive messages.
    • Can use other triggers like WhatsApp, Twilio, Siri, etc.
    • Start workflow on receiving a message.
  2. Connect Telegram with AI Agent
    • Obtain an access token using the Botfather in Telegram.
  3. Testing Connection
    • Send a test message to ensure the connection.

Workflow Structure

  1. Create a Switch Statement
    • Routes messages as audio or text.
    • Audio and text are processed differently.
  2. Download and Transcribe Audio Messages
    • Use Telegram to download audio.
    • Use OpenAI to transcribe audio to text.
  3. Merge Step
    • Consolidate audio and text into a unified format.

AI Agent Setup

  • AI Agent Configuration
    • Uses OpenAI for reasoning and logic.
    • Memory feature stores past interactions.
    • Tools can be added to enhance functionality (e.g., calendar checks).

Sending Responses

  • Convert AI agent responses to audio using 11 Labs.
  • Send audio back to Telegram.
  • Handle special characters in JSON to avoid errors.

Creating an AI Voice Clone

  • Use 11 Labs to create a voice clone.
  • Requires a paid plan for voice cloning features.
  • Detailed setup involves creating HTTP requests for 11 Labs API.

Troubleshooting and Debugging

  • JSON formatting and common errors.
  • Using JSON.stringify to handle text conversions.

Conclusion

  • Successful creation of an AI agent clone that can interact in a human-like manner.
  • Encouragement to join the community for further support and learning.
  • Reminder to subscribe for more content.

Additional Features and Ideas

  • Consider adding system prompts for personalized interactions.
  • Potential to expand AI agent functionalities with additional tools and APIs.
