Zero to First Post: publish your first TikTok video
The hello-world of Pamba: go from an empty account to a video live on TikTok, touching only what you need.
This guide takes you from a brand-new account to a video posted on your TikTok, nothing extra, just the shortest path. If you're signed in, the checklist below tracks your real progress and each step deep-links to the right place.
1. Create your avatar
Your avatar is the AI presenter who appears in your videos. Open Studio in the sidebar and click + New avatar: pick a community avatar to start fast, or describe your own (appearance, vibe, niche) and Pamba generates it. You can add scenes (settings your avatar appears in) later; one look is enough for a first post.
Done when: your workspace has at least one avatar.
2. Connect a TikTok account
Pamba posts through real devices, so your TikTok account needs to be linked to one. Go to Studio → Accounts and follow the connect flow. If your plan includes a managed device, your account gets signed in on one of Pamba's phones; you'll see it listed as ready to post.
Done when: an account shows as ready for posting.
3. Create your first video
Hit Create content (top right anywhere in Studio, or the shortcuts on Home) and tell Pamba what you want: an idea, a topic, or a full script. Pamba writes the script (or uses yours), generates the avatar footage scene by scene, and stitches the final video. You can watch clips as they finish and swap any take you don't like.
Done when: a project in your workspace has a finished video.
4. Approve and schedule it
Videos only publish once you've approved them; that's your quality gate. Review the final cut, approve it, then schedule the post: pick the account, tweak the caption, and choose a time (or let Pamba pick the next good slot).
Done when: a post is scheduled.
5. Watch it go live
At the scheduled time, a real phone opens TikTok and publishes your video like a human would. You'll see the post flip to Posted on the Schedule page, and analytics start flowing in as views arrive.
Done when: your first post shows as completed. That's it: you've shipped your first AI-avatar video.
Where to go next
- •Make more videos faster: ask the agent to generate several concepts at once.
- •Understand your numbers: see the Analytics articles once a few posts are live.
- •Grow on autopilot: set up content batches so Pamba plans, produces, and posts on a cadence.
