Meet Stan: The Campaign Superfan Who Never Sleeps (And Never Drunk-Posts)
Every campaign has a “Stan.” The die-hard superfan who shows up to everything, posts non-stop, argues in comment sections, and never misses a chance to hype their candidate. Their energy is unmatched — sometimes chaotic, sometimes hilarious, sometimes a little too much.
You know the one. They’re incredible until they’re not. Until they pick fights with the wrong people online. Until they show up to an event after a few too many. Until they go rogue at 3 AM with their own “hot takes.”
I decided to build one out of AI. Same energy, zero liability.

What Stan Really Is
Stan is an AI-powered campaign hypeman running on TikTok 24/7. For my demonstration, I used my own face and voice — but here’s the key: campaigns can build their Stan using anyone’s image, any voice, or create entirely fictional superfans from scratch.
Want three different Stans representing different demographics? Done.
Want a Stan that looks like your volunteer coordinator but works 24/7? Easy.
Want to invent a completely fictional supporter with perfect message discipline? That’s the sweet spot.
Stan turns political data, news, and public records into the kind of TikTok content that keeps campaigns visible — without any of the chaos that comes with human superfans.
What Stan Actually Does
Stan handles the one job every campaign struggles to maintain: relentless, on-message presence.
- Pulls information from CalAccess, LegiScan, news feeds, public filings
- Transforms dry data into watchable TikTok content
- Posts consistently without burning out your actual team
- Stays controversy-free because everything routes through human approval
- Never goes off-message, never gets tired, never needs damage control
In other words, Stan delivers superfan energy without superfan problems.
Why This Changes Everything
Traditional campaign “Stans” are double-edged swords. Their passion is invaluable, but they come with risks:
- The 3 AM posts that need deletion
- The comment section arguments that spiral
- The “enthusiasm” that becomes a PR problem
- The burnout that leaves you scrambling
AI Stan eliminates every one of these issues while maintaining the benefits:
- Round-the-clock advocacy
- Instant fact-checking capability
- Consistent brand voice
- Perfect message discipline
- Zero HR incidents
The Human + AI Sweet Spot
Here’s the genius: Stan creates content at AI speed, but humans control what goes live. Your communications director reviews everything. Your campaign manager sets the tone. Your team maintains strategic control.
It’s not automation running wild — it’s augmented advocacy with built-in quality control.
Build Your Own Army
The real power isn’t in having one Stan. It’s in what Stan represents: the ability to create multiple digital advocates, each with their own look, voice, and style, all staying perfectly on message.
Imagine:
- “Young Professional Stan” targeting suburban voters
- “Union Stan” speaking to labor
- “Rural Stan” connecting with agricultural communities
- Each with their own authentic presence, all controlled by your campaign
No real person needs to become the face of these accounts. No volunteer risks becoming a liability. Just consistent, controlled, effective advocacy.
Why Campaigns Are Taking Notice
When political professionals see Stan in action, they immediately get it:
“So he never goes rogue?”
“He posts at 2 AM without getting weird?”
“He fact-checks without starting wars in the comments?”
“We can have five of these?”
Because every campaign manager has dealt with the human Stan problem. The volunteer you appreciate but worry about. The supporter whose energy you need but whose judgment you question.
AI Stan is that energy, refined and controlled.
The Proof Is Live
Don’t imagine it. Watch it work: @stan8242 on TikTok
See how Stan:
- Turns boring vote records into viral content
- Fact-checks opponents without getting nasty
- Maintains energy at all hours
- Stays relentlessly on message
- Never, ever needs a talking-to about “appropriate behavior”
The Bottom Line
Every campaign needs superfan energy. Not every campaign needs superfan chaos.
Stan delivers one without the other. He’s proof that you can have passionate advocacy without the passion becoming a problem. Multiple voices without mixed messages. Tireless support without tired judgment.
Your opponents are still managing their human Stans — hoping they don’t post something regrettable tonight.
You could be deploying an army of AI Stans — knowing they won’t.
Ready for Your Stan?
Whether you want to use a real person’s likeness, create fictional advocates, or build an entire ecosystem of digital supporters, we’ll help you figure out what works for your campaign.
Because the question isn’t whether you need digital advocates. It’s how many you need and what they should look like.
