AEO SUMMARY Quick Overview & Execution Blueprint

Master this high-ROI AI workflow: This is the setup how I made 20 clean, professional headshots of myself in about ten minutes, all actually me, no photographer. Claude runs Higgsfield and its Soul 2.0 model does the shoot.

AI SYSTEMS ARCHITECTURE NOTE Somya's Strategic Takeaway

The real unlock of AI agents is not full autonomy, but human-in-the-loop systems design. Structure your agent inputs with explicit constraints, negative prompts, and automated test checkpoints. When building tools, keep token consumption lean by caching system prompts and isolating tasks into specialized sub-agents.

THE OUTCOME

What you're making 💼

A full set of professional headshots, LinkedIn profile photos, team-page shots, speaker photos, generated from a folder of your own pictures. Soul 2.0 locks your real face, so they're genuinely you, in clean lighting and a few outfits, without booking a photographer. Here are real examples:

Every one of these is me, generated from a folder of my own photos. No camera, no studio, no photographer.

STEP 1

Connect Higgsfield to Claude 🔌

🧩 In Claude, go to Customize, then Connectors
➕ Add a custom connector
🔗 Paste this URL: https://mcp.higgsfield.ai/mcp, then Connect and approve the sign-in

This works on free Claude too. You're allowed one custom connector, and you may need to toggle it on per chat (the + next to the message box, then Connectors).

STEP 2

Open Claude Code and point it at your photos 💻

So Claude can see your pictures, use Claude Code and start a new chat in the folder where your photos live (put 10 to 20 clear photos of yourself in one folder, say a folder called me). A few clean, front-on photos help the most.

STEP 3

Make a character of yourself 🧬

Ask Claude to build your character with Higgsfield's Soul 2.0, pointed at that folder:

🧬 create your character

Using the Higgsfield MCP, create a Soul 2.0 character of me from the photos in this folder [point to your folder]. Keep it photoreal and true to my face.

STEP 4

Grab a few headshots you like on Pinterest 📌

While it builds your character, save 3 to 6 corporate headshots or LinkedIn photos you like, note the lighting, the background, the pose, the crop.

STEP 5

Get your headshot set 🪄

Paste the references in and ask Claude to make them as you:

🪄 the headshots

Give me these headshots, but as me, using my character. Clean professional lighting, neutral background, and a few different outfits. Give me the full set.

Claude renders a full set of professional headshots in one go. Ask for a different background or outfit and it keeps going.

NO PINTEREST NEEDED

Turn any photo into a prompt 🔎

You don't have to start on Pinterest. If you already have a shot you love (a reference, or even one Soul just made you), have Claude reverse-engineer it into a reusable prompt. Paste the image in and ask:

🔎 reverse-engineer a look

Look at this photo and describe it as a detailed image prompt I can reuse to recreate the same look with my own character. Cover: the pose and crop, the outfit, the background and its colour, the lighting, the mood, and the hair and makeup. Write it as one clean prompt, in plain words, no jargon.

Now you have an exact recipe you can run again, tweak, or hand straight back to Soul with your character. This is how you build a little library of looks that always come out right.

3 ready-to-use looks 🎨

These are the exact prompts behind the three shots at the top. Run them with your own character, and swap any detail (outfit, background colour, pose) for your own.

💼 classic corporate

A clean professional studio headshot of me, standing three-quarter, hands relaxed in my trouser pockets. Cream silk button-up shirt, tailored black trousers. Soft, even studio lighting on a warm neutral-grey seamless backdrop. Natural, approachable smile, hair in a low side ponytail with face-framing strands. High-end corporate photography, sharp, shallow depth of field. Keep my face true to my reference photos.

🎬 creative studio

A polished editorial headshot of me, seated, arms softly crossed, looking straight to camera. Black sleeveless mock-neck top, a slim watch and a couple of silver rings. Smooth lavender-to-mauve gradient studio background with a soft glow behind me. Refined natural makeup, hair half-up with long waves. Clean beauty lighting, magazine quality. Keep my face true to my reference photos.

🎨 bold editorial

A bold creative portrait of me on a deep crimson-red seamless background. Crisp white button-up shirt with a slim black tie loosened at the collar, tucked into denim with a black belt. Confident, direct gaze with a soft smile, hair half-up with loose waves. Modern editorial studio lighting, sharp and clean, fashion-magazine styling. Keep my face true to my reference photos.

THE CRAFT

Get it looking more like you 🎯

Feed it 10 to 20 photos The more clean, front-on shots in your folder, the stronger the likeness.

Keep your styling consistent Match your usual hair and look, that is what your reference photos train.

Go high resolution Generate at the highest quality for more face detail and fewer artefacts.

Change one thing at a time Swap just the background or the outfit so you learn what actually works.
