AI creator search
Find Instagram and TikTok creators from a plain-language brief, then hire them from the web, MCP, REST, or CLI.
AI creator search means describing the creator you need in plain language and getting a ranked shortlist of real people. It does not mean generating fake UGC.
Starcovery matches a brief to Instagram and TikTok creators, backs every match with sample videos, and runs hire, measure, and payout on one platform. Start on the web, or wire search into an agent through MCP, REST, or the CLI.
What it is
You describe audience, vibe, and campaign goal. You get ranked creators with a fit signal and sample videos you can watch. Today that means Instagram and TikTok.
Starcovery does not generate creative content. Creators make the work. The product finds the right people for the brief.
