(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nPer Glossy, Willy Chavarria is testing what happens when a designer becomes part of the online shopping experience by using an AI-generated version of his own voice and presence.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): the AI voice isn't replacing customer service; it's making the founder present at scale. When a buyer lands on the checkout, they hear the actual designer's voice explaining a garment or asking a clarifying question about size and fit. It costs a fraction of hiring support staff, and it amplifies the 'Willy built this' narrative every founder claims but rarely proves. The play: record 30 seconds of yourself explaining your brand story, then drop that clip (AI-generated or live) into your Shopify checkout as a video overlay on the cart page. Test it against a standard checkout. The founder persona becomes a friction-reducer and a conversion signal.\nWhat that means for you: the AI voice isn't replacing customer service; it's making the founder present at scale.
