How AI Is Changing TikTok Ads: A Step-by-Step Guide to Creating Realistic UGC Content
Running a brand on TikTok or any social platform brings tasks. You face the work of making ads from real users. You send products to creators, wait for them to film, and hope for a winning video. The process takes time and money. The result may still fall short.
What if you could skip some steps? What if you could make ads that look real, act engaging, and keep you in charge? AI now makes this possible. AI changes how brands make ads.
Here is why AI-made UGC ads are speeding up work and a guide to start using tools like Archads.
The Challenges of Creating Traditional UGC Ads
Before AI took hold, making UGC ads involved many hard steps:
- The product must go to the creator, which takes time and resources.
- You must trust the creator to film a video that fits your brand.
- You spend money and time, and if the video does not work, those efforts are wasted.
- The brand gets little say in how the video is filmed or edited.
These steps slow work, burn money, and miss chances. This is true for small brands or for those who shift quickly in how they work with content.
Why AI-Generated TikTok Ads Make Sense Now
New AI video tools can create videos that look natural and made by people. The old problem was quality. Early AI videos did not look real or fresh.
Tools like Archads let brands make AI videos that:
- Mimic real people’s facial moves and speech
- Give you full say over the look, sound, and tone
- Create videos almost instantly when you need them
- Allow for quick fixes and detail work in emotions
- Stop long waits and shipping tasks
This mix creates a faster way to launch ads that do well on TikTok and hold attention.
Key Features to Master AI UGC Ads with Archads
Making TikTok ads using AI needs more than one click. Use these features:
1. Actor Selection and Customization
- Pick from a set of AI actors, each with a unique look that fits your brand.
- Choose actors who match the feel of your target group (for example, gamers, beauty fans, casual users).
- Use actors who show products or phones to give a real-person vibe.
2. Upload Your Product Screenshots or App Images
- Change videos easily by adding screenshots or visuals that appear on the actor’s phone.
- This makes the ad feel real and focused on the product without a film set.
3. Speech Generation and Emotion Syncing
- Type text in a natural tone or add your own voice files.
- AI adds natural speech, with pacing, tone shifts, and clear sounds.
- Archads use settings that match emotion to words so the speech feels real.
4. Fine-Tune Voice Parameters
- Change how fast the speech goes, the emotion, clarity, and style.
- Different voice settings stop the videos from sounding flat or fake.
5. Video Editing and Assembly
- After the clips are made, join them using editing tools such as CapCut.
- Mix in extra scenes like a brief intro or product look to give a smooth, natural flow.
An Example Workflow: Recreating Viral TikTok Ads Using AI
See how AI ads work by following these steps that mimic a viral Block Blast app ad:
- Step 1: Pick AI actors that match the style of the original ad. The ad may show young women interacting with products.
- Step 2: Upload a picture of the app or product to show clearly on the actor’s phone.
- Step 3: Use speech synthesis with text that sounds like a real person. For example, use words like, "Oh my god, it’s back… it’s literally my comfort game."
- Step 4: Use emotion settings so that the actor’s face and voice work in sync.
- Step 5: Make several video clips and join them using editing software.
- The result is an ad that looks real, engages the viewer, and flows naturally—even sometimes better than the original.
What This Means for Brands and Marketers
AI-driven UGC ads bring clear work benefits:
- Speed up content production by making quality ads in minutes or hours, not days.
- Test many ad versions with different actors, tones, and messages to see what works best.
- Keep a steady brand voice across campaigns without relying on outside creators.
- Lower costs by reducing the need for product samples, creator fees, and long waits.
- Reach audiences with ads that feel real, with AI actors that mirror your target group and act in a way that clicks with viewers.
Tips to Get the Most Out of AI UGC Ads
Follow these steps for better results:
- Write scripts that sound like real users. Use clear, casual language.
- Match actor profiles closely with the group you aim to reach.
- Try different emotion settings to show real excitement, surprise, or calm.
- Use product visuals that look like the real app or product.
- Join multiple clips together. Start with a friendly intro, show the product, and end with a call to act.
- Test your video with actual viewers. Change the video based on clicks, watch time, and feedback.
