In 2025, two unlikely animals have become the face of a new digital revolution: monkeys and cats—but not the real ones. Instead, they’re AI-generated characters taking over TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels in viral clips that blend humor, emotion, and creative storytelling. From travel vlogs narrated by talking monkeys to heart-tugging cat dramas, this trend reflects more than internet silliness. It shows how AI tools have democratized content creation—and how IT companies can lead the charge.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through:
