Who is Morôni Duarte? What is known about the AI influencer
3 min read
Morôni Duarte drew attention with videos featuring a character in an orange tracksuit, bowl cut and large glasses, inspired by Vector from Despicable Me. The format places the character in scenes circulating on social media. But what do we know about the creator, the tool and the technique? News reports offer some answers and leave others open.
What news reports say about Morôni Duarte
On October 8, 2026, O Tempo named Morôni Duarte among creators using AI to appear in videos of well-known people. It identifies the profile as @moroniduarte and describes the character as based on Vector. On October 18, VEJA also covered Marôni Duarte, linking the look to the villain and calling him a virtual influencer. The outlets spell the first name differently; here we use “Morôni,” as O Tempo does.
These sources do not identify who operates the profile, reveal the model or app, or offer a production tutorial. So we cannot conclude how each video was made or that Morôni used a particular tool. This article does not attribute the videos to Duble AI.
Understanding the technique without guessing the model
When a tool replaces someone's appearance in a recording, the action and scene come from the reference video. That differs from creating an entire clip from a text description. O Tempo notes that the original recording, performance, dance and editing still belong to others; using that material raises copyright and image-rights questions, so choose a source you have the right to use.
It also differs from changing only a face. In a character replacement, the goal is to put a different identity in place of the person shown while following the scene's movement. See the step-by-step guide to replacing a person in a video and the difference between AI-generated and AI-edited video. Similar features in a product do not prove that a particular creator used it.
What to learn from the format
A recognizable figure and a repeating idea help viewers understand the joke before the video ends. To make an original format, choose one strong visual detail, an attitude and a simple gesture that can work in different scenes. The guide to creating an AI character can help turn the idea into a consistent identity.
Make a video with an original character
On Duble AI, the app for replacing a person in a video with AI, a video starts with a trend from the library or footage you upload. The character takes the place of the person shown and follows the video's movement; the setting may change a little. To make an original format:
- Choose an identity. Describe an invented person with its own visual trait, clothes and attitude, or choose someone from the cast, which includes Vector.
- Save the approved identity. Change one thing at a time and choose an original name. This helps you reuse the look in other scenes.
- Choose a suitable source. Use a trend from the library or film your own scene for more control over the format. The rights and disclosure guide for AI influencers explains what to consider before posting.
- Check the options and the price shown in the app. New videos currently use Duble Identical, powered by Kling O3. There is no sound-selection question: the model edits the video and keeps its audio in the result. Review playback with sound and keep video and audio together.
- Post with context. Label AI-made content when the platform asks, and do not present an invented scene as proof of a real event. See the guide to AI labels on social platforms.
To start with your own identity, create an influencer.
