## The question

> Find home-organisation creators on Douyin for a collaboration

The creator marketplace lists many accounts for a keyword, and checking each one's size and whether its content really fits the brief is slow work.

## What the AI did

It chose the tools itself: 1 request on Douyin. Each row is one tool call as the client showed it, with what it sent, how much came back and what it cost.

| Platform | Tool | Sent | Requests | Returned | Credits |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Douyin | [`find_creators`](https://socialtoai.com/tools/find-creators.md) | `query: "家居收纳" · scale: "small"` | 1 | 20 accounts | 9 |
| **Total** |  |  | 1 | 20 items | **9** |

## The answer

What the client answered, from what it had read. The line under each finding is a post it read, or a figure from those posts.

Recorded 2026-10-18

20 creators from the platform's own creator marketplace, each judged against the request:

1. **Strong fit** (85%, 17 accounts): 17 of 20 judged
2. **100K followers or more** (45%, 9 accounts): 9 of 20 creators
3. **Partial fit** (15%, 3 accounts): 3 of 20 judged

Used 9 credits · $0.03. Figures from this run.

### The posts it rests on

A selection of what was read; the marked words are what a finding rests on. An item without a link says so.

## What it cost

1 request, 9 credits in total: $0.03 at the $10 rate. Every answer of the API states the credits it charged and the balance left, so your AI can tell you what a question cost. A call that fails costs nothing.

| Pack | Credits per dollar | This answer |
| --- | --- | --- |
| $10 = 3,000 credits | 300 | $0.03 |
| $50 = 20,000 credits | 400 | $0.022 |
| $200 = 100,000 credits | 500 | $0.018 |

## Ask it yourself

Connect SocialToAI to your AI client once ([the steps for each client](https://socialtoai.com/mcp.md)), then paste the question. You do not name tools or parameters: the client picks them.

**Prompt**

```
Find home-organisation creators on Douyin for a collaboration
```

The same in code: the calls this run made, as requests to the API.

**tool.find_creators**

```
curl https://api.socialtoai.com/v1/tools/find_creators \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SOCIALTOAI_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "query": "家居收纳",
    "platform": "douyin",
    "scale": "small"
  }'
```
