Understanding generative artificial intelligence
Generative AI enables computers to create new content from existing content. It is often used to generate images from text. For example, with text-to-image software, you can obtain a work of art by entering a text description.
TikTok's two types of AI filters
Theme filters
These TikTok AI filters already have a prompt built into their code to use generative artificial intelligence. So users don't have to do anything other than use the filter as a normal effect. Most of the time, these filters feature themes such as manga, the fairytale world, make-up, and so on.
Filters with generative AI
This category of filter makes direct use of the generative AI that TikTok has made available to allow users to create their own prompt directly in the effect in order to create the visual they want. However, the prompt is limited in terms of the number of characters and the number of requests (if too many people use the AI, the filter won't be able to generate the image).

How do I create an AI filter for TikTok?
Using generative AI to create TikTok AI filters is a process that combines creativity and technology. Here are the detailed steps for creating your own TikTok AI filter.
Step 1: Create the assets for your filter
First you need to create the assets (2D and 3D elements) you will need to create your AI filter. There are 3 ways of doing this:
Using the Effect House Asset Studio
The Asset Studio in Effect House by TikTok allows you to generate 2D face masks and custom stickers. Although it's in beta, you can use its output for TikTok AI filter ideas.
Create assets with TikTok's AI effects
Effects such as AI Greenscreen and AI Art in the TikTok application can be used to create assets. You can generate an abstract image or transform an existing image into a work of art, then import it into Effect House.
Use third-party AI tools to create assets
For advanced creators, tools like DALL-E 2 and Mid Journey can be used to create images with AI. You can enter a prompt, get AI-generated images, and import them into Effect House to create your TikTok AI filter.
Step 2: Integrate AI assets with Effect House functionalities
AI-generated assets can be used with most of Effect House's built-in features, such as clothing and portrait segmentation, facial stickers and 3D Face.
Step 3: Follow the guidelines for TikTok AI filters
Make sure you have permission to use the image generated in your effect and that all the content of your effect complies with Effect House guidelines.
Step 4: Naming your AI effect
Include the term "AI" in the name of your effects to indicate the use of AI-generated content. This helps maintain transparency and authenticity on the platform.
