What did they do?
Engagement posts asking followers to pick between options (outfits, rooms, AI-generated characters) using X polls or numbered images.
What were the results?
Engagement format; no earnings claimed.
What tools do you need?
Grok (ai assistant with live x context).
How much does it cost?
You can start for $0: Grok has a free plan. Check each tool's site for current prices.
Is it allowed?
X allows original content; deceptive synthetic media likely to cause harm can be labeled or removed, and paid posts must be disclosed. Source.
Worth knowing
Label AI-generated people clearly (Meta applies "AI info" labels; X may label or remove deceptive synthetic media). Keep it brand-safe: no sexualized imagery, no real people's likeness.
Watch out: If images are AI-generated, say so in the post. X may label or remove deceptive synthetic media.
What prompt can I copy?
Create 4 original AI image prompts for a "which one would you choose?" X poll about [theme], plus the poll question. Add "(AI images)" to the post text.

"Jean Phil" is an AI-made character (curled moustache, fluffy blond hair, houndstooth suit) who shadowboxes in real-looking streets and cafés in Paris and Brussels. The creator told VRT NWS the videos are "not fully AI-generated": they combine real footage with AI and human creative work.
View prompt
1) Character sheet: create an ORIGINAL character (not based on any real person): name, era-inspired outfit, hairstyle, one signature move, personality in 3 words. 2) Image prompt: full-body photo of [character], [outfit], natural light, realistic street in [city], 9:16. 3) Video prompt: [character] performs [signature move] on a real street, handheld phone look, 8s, face and outfit identical every frame. 4) Edit: cut to the beat in CapCut, add trending sound, caption. 5) Disclosure: add "AI-generated character" on screen and turn on the platform's AI label.
"Toc Toc" by Patrick Sébastien (2015), known abroad as "Kicékéla", became a global TikTok trend in September 2026 after TikTok creator Nooah Prvv made a dance for it: a one-foot hop plus a door-knock mime. Fans then made AI edits of lines of Jean Phil look-alikes doing the dance (the original account itself shadowboxes).
View prompt
[Image 1] = my original character. [Video 1] = dance reference. Make the character perform exactly the moves, rhythm and framing of [Video 1]: hopping on one foot to the beat, fist knocking on an imaginary door on the chorus. Keep face, hair, outfit identical every frame. Deadpan expression. Setting: [location]. Vertical 9:16, 10s, handheld phone look. Avoid: face drift, extra limbs, floating feet, outfit changes, text, watermarks.
The poster broke down a faceless stick-figure video, "What Did Ancient Humans Do For Pleasure?", built on a broad curiosity question.
View prompt
Write a 6-minute stick-figure explainer script answering "[curiosity question about history]", split into 30 scenes with a one-line drawing description each.
The poster lists faceless formats you can make mostly with AI, starting with 2D cartoon / stick figure (AI images + CapCut, assembled by a VA) and story channels.
View prompt
Compare 5 faceless formats ([list]) for a beginner: hours per video, tools needed, and risk of looking repetitive to YouTube.
