AI distribution tool "Seven-star Agent" launched, Beidou Zhiying bets on short drama going global | Latest frontline news
Against the backdrop of AI accelerating the reconstruction of the content industry, short dramas have become a new growth point for cultural exports.
Recently, Beidou Zhiying held the Content Creators Conference on the "AI Super Individual Era" in Nanjing, launched the video distribution AI product "Seven - Star Agent", and announced the AI - driven content distribution system and platform strategy.
Beidou Zhiying is an AI creator platform under Nanjing Zhiying Culture Media, mainly targeting the overseas market for short micro - dramas.
The newly launched "Seven - Star Agent" integrates functions such as multi - modal recognition, intelligent editing, and emotional translation, supporting full - process AI collaboration from creative generation to distribution. The platform stated that compared with the traditional creative process, the Seven - Star Agent can shorten the video material editing work that originally took 30 minutes to just 3 minutes.
There is also a content operation function supporting the "Seven - Star Agent" product. It can replicate popular content based on hot topics and real - time data, achieve multi - modal content creation, and distribute it to major platforms.
According to official data, the platform has currently generated over 10 million second - created videos and distributed over 500,000 videos through AI technology, covering the global market.
Multiple collaborations were also announced at the press conference. Beidou Zhiying signed strategic agreements with several enterprises such as Shanhai Xingchen, forming an ecosystem in areas such as content exports and global distribution. The platform also announced a creator support plan, covering creative rebates, technical support, and distribution resources.

Currently, the short drama track continues to grow rapidly in the overseas market, and domestic short dramas are facing an opportunity for overseas expansion.
According to statistics from Sensor Tower, in Q1 2025, the cumulative in - app purchase revenue of global short drama applications reached nearly $2.3 billion, and the global download volume of short drama applications exceeded 370 million times. Overseas markets such as the United States, Southeast Asia, and Latin America performed particularly well.
However, the current content distribution market faces many difficulties, such as the inability of a large number of works to achieve secondary monetization, serious homogenization of plot segments, and high costs for public - domain traffic.
Good creative and distribution tools can help creators alleviate these problems to a certain extent. With the increasing maturity of creative agent tools, AI editing and content customization capabilities lower the creative threshold. Not only professional film and television companies and MCNs, but also amateur creators may be able to benefit from the wave of short drama exports with the help of AI tools.
