Kelsey Plum is making history again, but this time it’s not on the hardwood. The two-time WNBA champion and Los Angeles Sparks star officially launched her verified AI digital twin on March 6, 2026. Through a strategic partnership with the AI platform Talk2Me, Plum has become the first professional female athlete to provide fans with a high-tech way to access her personal mentorship and training insights.

The AI-powered version of Plum uses her authentic voice and persona to hold real-time, interactive conversations with users. Aspiring athletes can now ask the digital twin for specific advice on basketball fundamentals, leadership, and the mental toughness required to win an Olympic gold medal. According to a report by Business Wire, the platform is designed to offer a personalized experience that mimics a private coaching session with the star guard.

This move marks a significant milestone for female athletes in the rapidly growing digital licensing space. While stars in other leagues have explored similar technology, Plum’s collaboration with Talk2Me focuses specifically on educational mentorship and accessibility. Plum told the Las Vegas Sun that she is excited to share her experiences and help the next generation of players reach their goals through this innovative digital medium.
