Karamo Brown, the life coach from Netflix's 'Queer Eye,' has launched a new wellness app called Kē, featuring an AI version of himself. The app offers personalized fitness and nutrition plans, along with mental health resources like meditation videos. A unique feature is 'AI Karamo,' which allows users to interact with a digital clone of Brown for advice. This initiative is part of a broader trend of celebrities using AI to engage with fans, though it stresses the importance of real human connections. Kē is available on iOS and Android, with a subscription fee after a trial period.
