TikTok Shop rewards exactly one thing: content that doesn't look like an ad. UGC-style and hook-led formats dominate because the feed is creator-native — and the public case numbers (Ray-Ban +47% CVR, Love & Pebble +1,194% sales via creator-affiliate content) all point the same way: native-reading creative + volume testing. AI generation fits the economics: 8–10 hook variants for ~$25, the winner boosted, the loop repeated weekly. Generate UGC and TikTok-hook formats 9:16-native; keep claims platform-safe.

The TikTok Shop loop
Generate hook batch → post/boost at small spend → read hook rate and CPM in 24–48h → put spend behind the winner → refresh before fatigue (TikTok fatigues creative fastest of all platforms — 1–3 weeks).
Formats that work here
UGC talking-presenter, TikTok-hook openers, and quick demos. Polished TV-spot creative underperforms on this surface — save it for brand moments.
Platform-safety notes
Synthetic-media rules apply: disclose where required, no fake testimonials, careful with before/after and health claims. The scenario system's guardrails cover most of it; your claims discipline covers the rest.
