Karamo Brown, the beloved life coach from Netflix's Queer Eye, has stepped into the wellness and AI space with the launch of Kē, an app that includes a digital clone of himself powered by artificial intelligence. After spending 18 months focusing on his own journey in fitness, nutrition, meditation, sobriety, relationships, and personal growth, Brown now wants to help others achieve the same transformation through this innovative tool.
Comprehensive Features for Body and Mind
The app offers personalized fitness plans tailored to each user's existing equipment and schedule, along with nutrition guidance that suggests meal plans based on the food available at home. Every workout comes with instructional videos to ensure proper form. On the mental health side, Kē includes a meditation section with videos targeting various emotions such as anxiety and stress, plus a community feature where users can join supportive groups focused on shared experiences like sobriety or general wellness.

AI Karamo: A Digital Clone for Real-Time Advice
The standout feature is AI Karamo, a virtual assistant built by AI startup Delphi. The clone draws from a vast library of Brown's interviews, podcast episodes, and other content to deliver authentic responses in his own voice. Users can ask questions and receive advice instantly. Brown shared that even his sister and best friend interact with the clone when they cannot reach him directly, highlighting its usefulness as a supplement to real human connection.

The Celebrity AI Trend
Kē reflects a broader movement where celebrities are embracing AI. Stars like Matthew McConaughey and Michael Caine have partnered with ElevenLabs to license their voices for digital replicas. However, concerns persist about unauthorized use of likenesses and the risk of fans forming one-sided emotional attachments to celebrity chatbots. Brown emphasizes that Kē is designed to support personal growth, not replace real relationships.
Safety and Future Plans
Human moderators oversee the app to ensure safe interactions, and while conversational data is shared with Delphi, users are advised not to disclose sensitive information. Brown noted that he was initially skeptical about AI but changed his mind after seeing thoughtful implementations like Delphi's. Future updates may introduce agentic capabilities, allowing AI Karamo to automatically adjust workout plans based on advice given. Kē is available on iOS and Android with a subscription of $14.99 per month after a three-day free trial.
