What Is TikTok Symphony AI Creative Suite?
Symphony is TikTok’s brand-new suite of AI-powered creative solutions. And we’re not talking about run-of-the-mill AI. TikTok Symphony uses generative AI (gen AI) for seamless and efficient content creation — transforming creative ideas into tangible assets.
The creative suite manages the entire content creation process, “simplifying the creative process while scaling it to new dimensions.”
At every step of the content creation journey, creators, brands, and agencies will collaborate with the suite’s AI creative assistant. Symphony AI tools will help you bring your ideas to life, from brainstorming to content production.

How TikTok GenAI Works
To better understand Symphony, we first need to understand how TikTok GenAI works.
Generative AI, or gen AI, is artificial intelligence that can generate ideas and content based on a specific prompt. ChatGPT is among the most successful types of gen AI. TikTok’s Symphony AI creative suite takes the technology to a new level.
Through GenAI, Symphony helps you create TikTok content from even the smallest spark of an idea.
From simple text to imagery and a fully formed, ready-to-publish asset, the suite simplifies and elevates the creative process.
Get To Know Symphony Assistant
Symphony Assistant is the latest iteration of TikTok’s Creative Assistant. It’s an AI-powered virtual assistant that guides and collaborates with you throughout the content creation process.
You can brainstorm ideas with your AI assistant, discover trends and inspiration, learn about best practices, and more.
Symphony Assistant gives you unrestricted access to TikTok’s vast informational resources. From creative tips to the latest TikTok trends and powerful insights, it delivers actionable recommendations to fuel your content creation.
If you want to give the AI assistant a try, TikTok recommends the following prompts:
- “What’s trending on TikTok today?”
- “Teach me the best practices for new content creators on TikTok.”
- “Show me top-performing TikTok ads in the [category] niche/industry.”
- “Help me come up with content ideas for my [brand name] brand to promote [topic].”
- “Write a script for my [niche/industry] ad including my brand [name] and targeting [target market/audience]. Highlight these benefits in the script: [benefits].”
Symphony Assistant is available in TikTok Creative Center wherever you are in the world. It’s also available as an add-on tool in Adobe Express. Currently, it supports English, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Japanese, Chinese, Thai, and Baha Indonesian.

Start Creating With Symphony Creative Studio
When you’re ready to start creating content, Symphony Creative Studio will help you amplify your ideas from concept to publishing.
Here are the basic steps to help you get started with Symphony Creative Studio:
- Provide the input/prompt. This could be your product details, existing assets, or product URL. The Symphony AI engine will give you a selection of custom video previews in less than a minute.
- Increase content accessibility through tailored messaging. Symphony will help you translate scripts and voiceovers into multiple languages to reach more audiences worldwide with just a few clicks.
- Add a human element to your ad with a stock avatar. Choose from two types of Symphony Digital Avatars to give your video personality and a human voice. Stock Avatars are designed after paid actors, ready-made, and licensed for commercial use. Custom Avatars are digital representations of creators or brand spokespersons with multilingual capabilities to facilitate localized campaigns.
- Polish your video. Use editing tools to fine-tune your content. When it’s ready for publishing, download or export it directly to TikTok Ads Manager.
The new Creative Studio provides generative AI tools to help you produce content that authentically represents your brand/product. However, you will still determine the video’s final shape and form based on your vision.
Note that when you use Symphony Creative Studio to create a video, TikTok automatically labels it as AI-generated content (AIGC). This is in keeping with TikTok’s policy on full transparency.
The new Creative Studio is still in beta testing and is currently limited to select users.
