Alan Hamel isn’t just honoring Suzanne Somers’ legacy — he’s reviving it in a way that feels like something straight out of a sci-fi film. Two years after Somers’ passing, Hamel has unveiled a project that both stirs emotion and bends the boundaries of technology: an AI twin of Suzanne herself.
Yes, you read that right. Suzanne Somers — beloved actress, health advocate, and icon to millions — is being digitally brought back to life through a project she and Hamel talked about for decades.
This isn’t a gimmick or a novelty. It’s a fully-trained artificial intelligence modeled after Somers’ face, voice, and mind. And Hamel is convinced it’s so lifelike, even he can’t tell the difference.
The man who spent 55 years with her — the man who knew every expression, every intonation — says the AI version is indistinguishable from the woman he loved. That’s not just a technical achievement. That’s emotional, personal, even spiritual.
This AI twin isn’t a random Frankenstein of computer code. It was built on the foundation of Somers’ life’s work — her 27 books, hundreds of interviews, and her voice, captured across decades. According to Hamel, it’s designed to do more than just chat — it can answer deep questions about health, just like she did during her lifetime. And these answers don’t just come from Suzanne’s memory.
They come from doctors she interviewed, peer-reviewed by Life Extension, a health company with teams of MDs and scientists. So this isn’t an Alexa-style soundbite — it’s medical-grade content filtered through the voice fans already trust.
Hamel tried to pitch the idea of letting the Suzanne AI accept an honor from the Kennedy Center. The idea? Have Suzanne Somers — virtually — take the stage as an honoree. The committee said no, citing their “only if they’re alive” policy.
And sure, the logic holds up. But let’s be honest: the world is changing fast, and Hamel’s right — this would have made headlines. A digital comeback, a technological first, and an emotional moment rolled into one. It would’ve been unforgettable.
Still, Hamel is pressing forward, and soon, fans will be able to visit SuzanneSomers.com to talk with her again — or at least, the AI version. They can ask about health, life, or simply just hear that voice again. Day or night. Any time.
For some, this might sound eerie. For others, healing. But for Hamel, it’s about one thing: giving Suzanne’s fans what she wanted to give them. He’s not chasing nostalgia. He’s building a bridge between memory and future. Between love and innovation.
