Agentic TikTok DM Outreach At Scale

Expanding Agentic Outreach to TikTok

Following the implementation of a.gentic’s autonomous Instagram influencer campaign agents, we've now adapted our agent technology for TikTok's platform. The key difference: while Instagram's DM limits led us to use email outreach, TikTok allows direct messaging at scale, opening new possibilities for automated creator outreach.

TikTok App Approval

Implementing DM automation required official TikTok App approval. This process granted us:

• Direct API access to creator profiles and content data

• Ability to send DMs programmatically through official channels

• Real-time content monitoring capabilities

• Compliance with TikTok's platform policies

The Six-Step Process: Automated TikTok Creator Outreach

1. Vectorizing TikTok's Creator Base

We processed hundreds of thousands of TikTok creator profiles, converting each into vector embeddings that capture:

• Content categories and themes

• Posting frequency and patterns

• Hashtag usage

• Engagement metrics

• Audience demographics

The volume of content on TikTok required building a new processing pipeline capable of handling creators who post multiple times daily, each post containing signals about their content focus.

2. Brand DNA Extraction

Using the same vectorization principles from our Instagram system, we create mathematical representations of brands. The Brand Insights Agent researches and analyzes:

• Brand websites and social presence

• Product offerings and target audience

• Marketing messages and value propositions

• Existing content themes

This creates a comprehensive brand vector that can be matched against creator vectors.

3. Vector-Based Creator Matching

Our TikTok Matchmaker Agent uses our Pinecone vector database to:

• Query across hundreds of thousands of creator vectors

• Identify creators with high similarity scores to the brand vector

• Return matches based on multi-dimensional alignment

• Process queries in milliseconds for real-time results

This approach goes beyond keyword matching, finding creators whose overall content aligns with brand attributes.

4. Real-Time Content Verification

TikTok's rapid content turnover means historical data quickly becomes outdated. For each potential match, we:

• Pull the creator's most recent TikTok posts

• Analyze current content against brand attributes

• Generate a Match Report with numerical scoring

• Filter creators above the brand's specified match threshold

This ensures recommendations reflect current creator content, not outdated profile data.

5. Automated DM Personalization

For creators meeting the match threshold, our personalization agent:

• Analyzes specific posts that demonstrate brand alignment

• Identifies content elements to reference

• Generates personalized messages mentioning specific videos or content themes

• Adapts message length and style based on platform norms

6. Direct Message Delivery

Brand install our TikTok app and messages are sent through it:

• Direct delivery to creator DMs sent from the brand’s TikTok account

• Full platform compliance

Processing Pipeline

Our system handles:

• Continuous creator profile updates

• Real-time content analysis

• Thousands of DMs per brand per week

Vector Database Performance

Using Pinecone allows us to:

• Store and query millions of creator vectors

• Update embeddings as creator content evolves

• Maintain sub-second query response times

• Scale horizontally as our creator database grows

The adaptation of our agentic system to TikTok shows the flexibility of vector-based matching across platforms. By maintaining our core vectorization and matching principles while adapting to platform-specific features, we've created a system that operates at scale while delivering personalized, relevant outreach.
