The company is running a limited test now. Only some users can see “Predictive Trends”. These users are primarily creators and marketers. The feature appears inside TikTok’s Creative Center. It shows lists of topics expected to gain popularity. These forecasts cover different time periods.

TikTok says its AI analyzes many signals. It looks at current content performance. It examines user search behavior. It also considers rising hashtags and sounds. The AI combines this data to spot patterns. Then it makes predictions about future viral hits.

The goal is to give creators a head start. Knowing likely trends helps them plan content. Businesses can adjust marketing strategies faster. TikTok believes this makes the platform more useful. It could lead to more relevant content for everyone.

Some creators welcome the idea. They say forecasting helps them stay ahead. Others express caution about relying on predictions. TikTok emphasizes the feature is experimental. Accuracy is not guaranteed. User feedback will shape its future development.
