## What you get

Your AI finds creators in a niche on one platform, with their size, their recent posts and how well each one fits, then reads a shortlisted creator's accounts across platforms.

Searching by keyword returns posts, not people. Turning posts into a list of creators, then checking each one's size and recent work, is slow by hand.

## What it uses

The ready-made tools do the whole job in one request: SocialToAI runs the searches, reads the posts and comments, and returns one result with its sources. Each is priced before it runs.

- [Find creators](https://socialtoai.com/tools/find-creators.md): Creators who make that content, with their size, recent posts and how well each fits. From 9 credits a run.
- [Creator profile](https://socialtoai.com/tools/creator-card.md): Their accounts on other platforms, the numbers on each, and how sure the match is. From 14 credits a run.

Your AI can also call the interfaces one at a time. These are the ones this job reads; each costs a fixed number of credits per call.

## A worked example

A real run on the live service, recorded 2026-10-18: the question, the calls the AI chose and what it answered. The credits are what the run was charged.

> Find home-organisation creators on Douyin for a collaboration

| 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** |

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, and the same calls as API requests, are in the [whole recorded run](https://socialtoai.com/docs/guides/find-creators-on-douyin.md).

9 credits is $0.03 at 300 credits per dollar (purchases from $10) and $0.018 at 500 per dollar (from $200). Failed calls are free, and a search that runs and finds nothing is charged as a call.
