Description

Tuku gives TikTok creators and merchants across Southeast Asia a smarter way to monetize their content. Instead of manually chasing down every comment, Tuku monitors your posts in real time and automatically sends personalized DMs to anyone who comments a trigger keyword, capturing buying intent the moment it happens.

The setup is simple: choose your keyword, connect your TikTok account, and let Tuku handle the rest. Public replies go out instantly to boost your post's engagement signals, while private DMs open a direct line to each interested viewer. Whether you're selling products, booking services, or driving traffic to an offer, every piece of content becomes a 24/7 conversion machine.

Tuku's built-in AI goes further: handling pre-sales questions, managing customer support conversations, and acting as a co-pilot when you're building automation flows inside the platform. No technical experience needed to get up and running fast.

Underpinning it all is the official TikTok Business Messaging API, approved by ByteDance. Built to operate within platform guidelines, Tuku gives businesses across Southeast Asia a sustainable automation advantage without the risks that come with unofficial tools.
