Recent advances in productive artificial intelligence have led many companies, including giants like Microsoft and Google, to increase their investments in this area. Now, a move has come from the social media platform TikTok.
TikTok has started testing a new artificial intelligence-supported chat bot called “Tako”. The model, currently only tested on selected users in the Philippines, aims to improve the user experience in the app.
Tako has the potential to completely change the search and browsing experience on TikTok
Screenshots from the chatbot named Tako were shared with The Verge by Watchful Technologies. From the images, it can be seen that Tako can be featured above the profile photo on the right. Clicking this opens a chat screen.
It is stated that the bot can answer various questions and chat, just like the others. There is no information about which artificial intelligence model the platform uses for Tako.
On the other hand, it should be said that the new model has the potential to radically change the search and navigation on TikTok. Tako will be able to suggest videos to users based on what they ask. For example, when a recipe is requested, the bot will be able to show TikTok videos about it to the user. In the images, the King of the United Kingdom III. It can be seen that a question was asked about the importance of Charles’ coronation and a video about it was shown.
TikTok described the chatbot being tested as a “limited experiment” to improve the discovery experience. No information was shared about when the artificial intelligence model will be widely released.
