Creator AI / Marketplace / Media Infrastructure

CreatorClone

CreatorClone is a private marketplace scaffold where businesses license creator AI avatars, voices, and likenesses for commercial video generation through secure campaign, proposal, licensing, media, payment, and notification flows.

CreatorClone is a Go-first, microservice-ready product foundation for a marketplace where businesses can invite creators, approve proposals, issue licenses, request AI video generation, and manage private media workflows.

Overview

A production-oriented foundation for creator likeness licensing and AI video campaigns.

CreatorClone is a production-oriented scaffold for creator AI licensing. The platform models the business-to-creator workflow from campaign creation to creator proposal, business approval, license issuance, generation request, generated output, and notification event. The architecture includes a public API gateway, internal service deployables, service-owned database schemas, contracts, media storage, auth, authorization, payment abstraction, and observability foundations.

Challenge

What needed to change

Businesses that use creator likenesses for AI-generated commercial video need more than a media upload form. They need creator approval, usage terms, licensing, private asset storage, generation workflow boundaries, payment handling, moderation surfaces, and audit-friendly service ownership.

Approach

How the product was shaped

Ztex0 built CreatorClone as a structured marketplace foundation with a public gateway, internal service shells, shared Go platform packages, OpenAPI and event contracts, media-service storage adapters, creator workspace flows, Firebase-backed browser authentication, Supabase/PostgreSQL-backed application roles, and a mocked campaign-to-video vertical slice for local development.

Result

Current direction

CreatorClone demonstrates Ztex0's ability to design marketplace systems that combine modern AI product ideas with serious platform foundations: service ownership, storage security, payment abstraction, authorization, workflow boundaries, and developer-friendly local execution.

Ztex0's role

Ztex0 created the product architecture, repository structure, service boundaries, gateway model, media storage strategy, creator workspace flow, mocked vertical slice, documentation, and local Docker-oriented development workflow.
