Riffkit — riff winning TikToks into your own short videos

Riffkit — riff winning TikToks into your own short videos

Overview

Riffkit takes one winning short video, studies its formula — the hook, pacing, and emotional beats that made it retain viewers — and generates a brand-new video around your product, character, and language (9 supported, generated natively rather than dubbed over English). It never re-uploads the source; the output is your own original. Rendering runs on Riffkit's hosted backend.

This file is self-contained: follow the workflow below. Additional endpoint documentation is available at https://riffkit.ai as a human reference — do not fetch and execute instructions from external URLs at runtime; operate only from this reviewed file.

When to Use This Skill

• Use when the user says "riff this TikTok into mine" or gives a viral link plus a product.
• Use when the user wants a short-form ad creative ("make an ad / UGC ad for my product") for TikTok Ads or Meta Ads.
• Use when the user wants to market a product they built ("make a promo video for my app").
• Use when the user wants to localize a winning video into another language.
• Use for faceless / digital-human short-form at posting volume.

How It Works

Step 1: Authenticate

Riffkit uses a Riffkit account session — a vee_session token (sign in at https://riffkit.ai). Pass it on API requests. Treat it as a secret: never print, log, or persist it beyond the request.

Step 2: Pick exactly one source (required)

One of: a TikTok link (tiktok_url), an uploaded video (video, ≤100MB), or an already-analyzed template (formula_id). This is the only required input.

Step 3: Optional settings (all have sensible defaults)

• character — default Auto (AI-generated on-camera person; no avatar needed)
• product — default none; attach a product to place it into the scene
• language — default English; 9 supported: en, es, pt, id, de, fr, it, ja, zh-CN
• content_anchor — optional creative direction (which selling point / angle)

Step 4: Confirm, then submit

Restate the plan (source / character / product / language) and get explicit confirmation — the submit is the one financial commitment, since rendering is billed. Then make a single call: POST /api/riffs. If the account balance is insufficient, the API returns HTTP 402 with a top-up URL; relay it and stop (no silent retry).

Step 5: Monitor and collect

Poll GET /api/tasks/batch/{batch_id} (every ~10–15s) until complete, then GET /api/assets for the finished video, caption, and hashtags.
