AI-fabricated endorsers are now endorsers in FTC terms.

Tokto records every model decision, every creative prompt, every paid-media interaction, and every vendor AI call that touches a client brand or a regulated claim, ready for the FTC, NAD, the AG, the client GC, and the carrier.

What keeps you up at night

The FTC files a complaint on AI-generated endorsements across a portfolio of agency clients. NAD opens a parallel claim challenge. The legal team has dashboards from four vendors. None ties a creative output to a client brief, a claim substantiation, and the disclosure language in force.

What you get with Tokto

How it works

Tokto governs the AI surface of the creative business. Creative co-pilots, paid-media assistants, personalization models, vendor AI tools — all become records at the moment they fire. The record carries the client, the brand, the campaign, the claim, the disclosure, and the consent captured. The GC controls one trail, not seven dashboards.

When the FTC opens an endorsement inquiry, when NAD challenges a claim, when a client GC asks how a creative was produced, the record is the same record. The GC answers in days, not depositions.

What goes wrong without it

In August 2025 the FTC issued a final order against Workado, LLC for marketing its AI content detector as 98% accurate when FTC testing showed roughly 53% accuracy in general settings. The FTC's revised Endorsement Guides now treat AI-fabricated endorsers — including synthetic-media celebrity testimonials — as endorsements subject to the same disclosure and substantiation obligations. Operation AI Comply has signaled that AI marketing claims and AI-generated creative will be policed with the same rigor as any other advertising claim.
