Getting started with Tiger Finder

Learn how to go from a blank search bar to an export-ready shortlist of TikTok creators in minutes.

What is Tiger Finder?

Tiger Finder is an AI-powered creator discovery platform built specifically for TikTok. Instead of forcing you to spend hours testing filter combinations or clunky parameters, Tiger Finder allows you to describe your ideal creator in plain, natural language and lets the AI deliver precise matches instantly.

Most platforms only look at a creator's profile text, bio, or tags. Tiger Finder’s AI actually analyzes the visual content and themes of what they post in their videos.

This ensures your search results show you relevant, high-quality matches in under a minute.

Tiger Finder Workflow in 4 Steps

Everything in Tiger Finder is built around a single, highly efficient workflow:

  1. Discover: Describe who you're looking for and run an AI-powered search.

  2. Refine: Layer smart data filters to clear out noise and set performance baselines.

  3. Save: Organize your top picks into dedicated lists.

  4. Export: Download structured data and move straight to outreach.

Describe your ideal creator

Go to the Discover tab to start a new search. In the search field, describe the type of creator you want to find in plain language instead of selecting categories or setting filters manually.

For example, you can search for:

  • "Pilates instructors sharing workout routines based in the US"

  • “Makeup artists sharing step-by-step product reviews or tutorials”

  • "Lifestyle creators with 100K+ followers who post OOTD videos"

💡 Pro Tip: Be specific about what they post, not just who they are. "Yoga teachers who film outdoor flows" performs far better than "yoga people" because the AI has more visual signals to match against.

Other ways to start a search

Describing a creator is the default, but it is not the only way to begin. At the top of the search area there are two more tabs beside Describe a creator. Whichever you use, you refine, save, and export the results in the same way.

  • Search by website. Paste a brand or product page and Tiger Finder reads the site, then returns ready-made searches with the filters already set. A good starting point when you know the brand but not the type of creator you want.

  • Vet profile & discover lookalikes. Start from a TikTok creator who already fits your brand and find others with a similar content style, using a single handle.

Refine your search with filters

You can layer optional filters on top of your natural language query to narrow your search results without rewriting the search query.

Available filters include:

  • Followers, Engagement, Avg. views — Set quantitative thresholds for reach and performance.

  • Creator location & Audience location — Filter by the creator’s home country or by where their engaged audience is located.

  • Main language — Filter by the language the creator mainly uses in their content.

  • Creator age — Filter by the creator's age range.

  • Has Email — Show only creators with a public email.

  • Verified only — Limit results to verified TikTok accounts.

  • Rising stars only — Surface the fastest-growing creators on TikTok.

  • AI Profile Classifier — Toggle between Person(to show only real human creators) and Other(to display brand pages, shops, organizations, etc.).

  • Creator gender — Filter by the creator's gender.

  • Exclude saved creators - Hide creators you’ve already saved to your lists from new search results.

  • Advanced filters — Open for additional refinement options.

Save creators to a list

When you find a creator that aligns with your brand, use the Save button to organize them into a shortlist. You can save directly to a default folder, select an existing list, or hit the "+" icon to generate a new list from scratch.

Export and start outreach

Open any list to see the full structured view of your saved creators, including location, followers, likes, engagement rate, content previews, and email where available.

Once your list is ready, the final step is getting that data out of Tiger Finder so you can start reaching out. When you’re happy with your selection, just hit Export profiles. This generates a CSV file containing all information for every creator on your list, making it easy to share with your team or start your outreach.

FAQs

How does Tiger Finder find matches?

Tiger Finder scans millions of TikTok profiles analyzing actual visual content, not just bios or hashtags, to surface high-confidence matches with real engagement signals.

When should I use each search tab?

Use Describe a creator when you can put your ideal creator into words. Use Search by website when you have a brand or product page but are not sure how to describe the creators for it. Use Vet profile & discover lookalikes when you already have one creator in mind and want to find more like them.

Why are some creators missing an email?

Tiger Finder only surfaces email addresses that creators have publicly shared on their profiles. If a creator hasn't made their email public, Tiger Finder won't show one. If you only want to see profiles with available email addresses, toggle the Has Email filter before running your search.

Can I re-run or revisit past searches?

Yes. Click the search history clock icon located on the right side of the search input field to instantly pull up and re-run any of your previous natural language queries.

What's the difference between "Person" and "Other"?

"Person" filters to individual creators, while "Other" surfaces brand pages, organizations, communities, and other non-personal profiles.

Is Tiger Finder available for platforms other than TikTok?

Currently Tiger Finder focuses exclusively on TikTok. Instagram and YouTube expansion is on our roadmap.
