Report: ByteDance's AI short drama products undergo internal integration: Xiaoyunque merged into Jimeng, still retains independent entry point IT Home Download the client app for exclusive early access October 24, 2026, 19:18:36 From Shandong Updated October 25, 2026, 07:15:00
IT Home, October 24 news: According to a report by 36Kr today, ByteDance recently completed a business integration internally, in which the AI short drama creation platform Xiaoyunque was merged into the intelligent creation platform Jimeng, while the product still retains an independent entry point.
This adjustment is mainly focused on resource integration; Jimeng has already integrated Xiaoyunque's short drama-related capabilities. After the adjustment, Xiaoyunque's operations are handled by Chen Xinran, the operations and marketing head of Jimeng, and the product team remains unchanged.
Both Xiaoyunque and Jimeng come from ByteDance's Jianying team. Xiaoyunque is positioned as a one-stop AI content creation platform. In March this year, it launched a short drama Agent, supporting the upload of scripts of up to 100,000 characters and one-click generation of finished videos. It is equipped with ByteDance's self-developed Seedance 2.0 model and has complete workflow capabilities from script parsing to storyboard generation in standardized production scenarios for short dramas and comic dramas.
Jimeng AI was launched in May 2024, initially covering generation capabilities such as text-to-image and text-to-video, and has since gradually extended to Agent editing tools geared toward professional creation, such as intelligent canvas and first-and-last frame control. Its user base covers ordinary creators and professional designers.
IT Home notes that the two overlap in functionality: both can complete the entire process "from generation to finished video" within the platform, forming a user path parallel to Jianying's editing stage.
