During a demo hosted by Watchful Technologies, Tako answered questions from TikTok users with tips and tricks on related videos. For example, when asked how to teach respect to children, the chatbot answered by summarizing the advice of other users and suggesting relevant videos.
TikTok said that Tako is an experimental chatbot and warned users that the answers may not be accurate. The platform said it would monitor conversations with Taco for security reasons and advised users not to share personal information with the chatbot.
With the introduction of Tako, TikTok aims to offer its users a more interactive and personalized experience, using artificial intelligence resources to help them find and enjoy relevant content on the platform.
