Jonathan Laramy is the creator behind Chloe vs. History, a viral AI-powered history channel that has attracted millions of views across Instagram and YouTube.
The channel follows Chloe, an AI-generated character who experiences historical moments such as Pompeii and the Titanic as if she’s a modern-day vlogger. Her realistic appearance and personality have left many viewers wondering whether she’s real.
In this episode, Jonathan explains how he built Chloe from scratch despite having no formal filmmaking background. He walks through the AI tools that power the channel, the process of creating a single video, and the work required to make AI-generated content feel authentic.
He also breaks down the surprising costs behind production, with some videos costing hundreds of pounds to make and taking weeks to complete. Jonathan shares why the business struggled to generate meaningful revenue at first and how everything changed when he shifted his focus from short-form content to long-form YouTube documentaries.
