“Having an opportunity like this to help creators make more money is something that makes me happy and makes me feel good about the work that I’m doing.”
Riley Reid wants her latest project to be part of her ongoing love letter to the industry that has helped her achieve her dreams.
The entrepreneurial superstar teamed with several partners in October to launch Clona.ai—a platform that allows creators to generate digital copies of themselves powered by artificial intelligence.
The 2016 AVN Female Performer of the Year from Miami explains that Clona.ai, which is still in its beta phase, is similar to a webcam site in that users are able to “cam” with the digital version of their favorite model.
So far Clona.ai offers experiences with Lena the Plug, Dan Dangler and Reid with plans to open the service to many more popular adult personalities in the future—including men—as well as creators, influencers and celebrities who are not from adult.
“I feel like everything I’ve done in my career and my path of life I want it to always benefit the industry in some way and benefit my fellow creators in the industry,” Reid tells AVN. “Because I realize how hard it is.”
A seasoned executive producer, director, performer and creator who is one of the most downloaded adult stars in porn history, Reid in recent years continues to demonstrate that she’s as versatile in the boardroom as she’s been in the bedroom during her storied career that began in 2011.
Still ranked No. 6 on Pornhub with 1.9 billion video views despite being largely inactive as a performer, Reid has won 21 AVN Awards—seven of which came at the 2016 ceremony in Las Vegas.
Now she manages a world-class tech team that works closely with her on a growing portfolio of business ventures that also includes Fan Scout—which is like a Yelp platform for creators.
