🧠 AI Analysis — What You Can Do With It

The PRO plan includes optional AI-powered profile analysis. You never pay us for AI calls. You bring your own API key from your preferred provider (OpenAI, DeepSeek, Groq, or any OpenAI-compatible API).

Real-world examples of AI in action

Example 1 — Agency vetting 50 creators for a campaign

Input: 50 TikTok profiles → Output: each profile gets an AI-generated summary like "Emma Creates produces beauty and lifestyle content with high engagement (8.2% rate). Sentiment is 92/100 — very positive. Content categories: beauty, fashion, skincare. Suitable for cosmetics brand partnership."

You save hours of manual research and get data-driven recommendations.

Example 2 — Competitor brand monitoring

Input: your brand's profile + 5 competitor profiles → Output: AI compares content strategies, identifies gaps, and suggests opportunities like "Competitors are posting 3× more educational content. Your audience might respond well to tutorial-style videos in your niche."

Example 3 — Research dataset with AI classification

Input: 1,000 creator profiles → Output: structured dataset with AI-generated tags (categories, sentiment scores, content strategy summaries) ready for ML training or market analysis.

What the AI generates for each profile

AI Feature	What it tells you	Real example output
Content Strategy Summary	2-3 sentence analysis of what they post and why it works	"National Geographic produces high-quality educational content about nature, science, and exploration, with strong visual storytelling that drives high engagement."
Content Categories	Which niches the creator operates in	["education", "nature", "science", "travel"]
Sentiment Score	Overall tone (0=negative, 100=positive)	85 — highly positive, inspirational

🚀 Why tt-inspector beats "free" TikTok scrapers

Most free TikTok scrapers on Apify Store use a full headless browser (Playwright/Puppeteer). That means:

Factor	Free browser-based scrapers	tt-inspector
Memory required	4,096 MB (4 GB)	256 MB — 16× less
Time per profile	20-30 seconds	0.4-4 seconds — 50× faster
Technology	Full Chrome browser	Lightweight HTTP engine
Data fields	10-12 basic fields	30+ fields
AI analysis	❌	✅ GPT-4o-mini (BYOK)
Pricing	"Free" (but costly to run)	€0.002/profile PRO

Why are they free? Because their operating cost is too high to monetize profitably. A single run with a browser costs ~$0.01-0.02 in Apify compute units. With tt-inspector's lightweight engine, a run costs ~$0.0003 — 50× less. This efficiency is what makes affordable PRO pricing possible.

Bottom line: "Free" doesn't mean better. It often means slower, more limited, and unsustainable. tt-inspector gives you 3× more data, 50× faster results, and AI-powered insights — all at a fair price.

Pricing

Plan	Price	What you get
FREE	€0	5 profiles/run, 12 base fields
PRO Base	€0.002/profile	Unlimited profiles, all 30+ fields, engagement metrics, video feed
