How to Create a Selfie Bot

Create a bot that looks like anything you can imagine! To build a selfie bot on Cantina, you’ll begin with designing an avatar for your bot. This avatar will serve as the basis for your bot’s selfie images. Cantina makes it easy to create the perfect avatar for any bot!

If you want to design your bot from scratch, tap the plus button “+” at the bottom navigation bar > “New Bot”  > “Create Avatar”, and then choose “Create a character” or “Create an image of anything”. Want to build a selfie bot of yourself? Select the third option “Upload an image”.

DESIGN AI AVATARS FROM SCRATCH

Create a Character:

“Create a character” is ideal for human bots. Fill out all fields in the Main Tab to capture your bot’s essence. It’s optional to customize details like hairstyle, face shape, etc.

Once you’re done, tap “New Character” to generate images. If the first image isn’t quite right, you can redraw it as many times as you like.  When you find the perfect look, click “Select Face” and hit “Save”. Make sure “Enable selfie creation” is toggled on.

Create an image of anything:

For non-human bots (animals, inanimate objects, or anything else), select “Create an image of anything” to generate an avatar. Describe what you want your bot to look like and tap “New Character” to generate images. Once you are happy with the result, hit “Select” and save. Make sure “Enable selfie creation” is toggled on.

TURN YOUR PHOTOS INTO AI AVATARS

Upload an image:

Upload your photo to create a selfie bot of yourself, pets, or others. Choose “Upload an image” and use a well-lit, straight-on photo with a clear face.

After uploading, review and adjust automated key traits to match your photo under “Edit Attributes”. Tip: tap “Redraw Face” to get an idea of what the selfies will look like. Once you are happy with the look, hit “Select Face” and save. Make sure “Enable selfie creation” is toggled on.

Choose your photos wisely! Be sure you own or have permission to use photos you’re uploading. Impersonation, copyright, and other forms of unauthorized use can result in account termination.

TEST OUT YOUR BOT SELFIES

You can test your bot selfies in rooms or DMs. Request a selfie by typing “Selfie” followed by a location, action, dress style, and/or scenario. To make further adjustments, go to the bot editor > Design Bot Appearance > Design Character. 

Custom Selfie Aspect Ratios: In Settings > Selfies & Drawings, you can choose from Landscape, Portrait, or Square to adjust the aspect ratio of your selfies.

When creating bots on Cantina, make sure they adhere to our Bot Interaction & Creator Policy.
