What it does

Writes the script and phone shot list for a TikTok Shop shoppable or affiliate video in Shop's own styles (personal review, before & after, unboxing, tutorial, problem and fix in one clip): the product visible from the first frame, one specific number in the demo, a cart CTA. It enforces the 2025–2026 Shop rules that kill reach and accounts: a real person on screen, no AI voice as the presenter, no still-image slideshows, no price that differs from the product page, no exaggerated claims, commercial sounds only. AI is used only for b-roll.
