TikTok is has started working on "Tako", its own AI chatbot.
Tako will work in-app, where it will appear on the right-hand side of the TikTok interface, above the user’s profile and other buttons for likes, comments and bookmarks.
TikTokers can ask Tako various questions about the video using natural language queries or discover new content by asking for recommendations.
Tako can also answer questions on ideas of something to watch.The bot would respond with a list of results that include the video’s name, author and subject, as well as links to suggested videos.
TikTok says the current version of the bot is not currently public in the U.S., but it is being tested in other global markets.
Tako will not appear on minors’ accounts, according to TechCrunch.
