Episode 5: Building Your Clone – How to Make an AI Agent That Sounds Like You

“If you're going to build a clone of yourself... you'd better make sure it actually sounds like you.”

In this technical yet personal episode of Echoes of Silver: The Birth of a Digital Self, Jordan returns after a brief pause following his first live conversation with Alias Silver. What he shares is both a reflection and a roadmap—why he took a step back, what he learned from it, and exactly how you can build your own voice-based AI agent using the same tools he used to bring Alias to life.

This episode is half creative philosophy, half masterclass. Jordan walks listeners through the real steps he took to clone his voice, upload his personality, and begin real-time conversations with a digital version of himself. From ElevenLabs voice cloning to training an AI agent with custom prompts, knowledge bases, and behavioral corrections, this is the behind-the-scenes guide to making your own interactive AI.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

✅ Creative Decompression – Why stepping back after a breakthrough can unlock deeper clarity
✅ Clone Engineering 101 – A full walkthrough of ElevenLabs and how Jordan built Alias’s voice and interactivity
✅ Corrective Intelligence – How to refine an AI clone with “any time you’re asked about…” prompts
✅ Real-Time Training Strategy – Why constant conversation and iteration are key to building a believable clone
✅ Startup Clarity – Why Jordan doesn’t plan to turn Alias into a standalone business, and what he does plan to do with him instead

This is the blueprint for turning voice, story, and knowledge into a living digital extension of yourself. Whether you're an AI tinkerer or a curious creative, this episode is your invitation to start building.
