ByteDance, the company behind TikTok and Douyin, has launched a new generative AI app called Jimeng AI, available in mainland China. This app allows users to create images and videos simply by providing text prompts, offering a highly accurate and responsive experience.
Jimeng AI, which translates to “immediate dream,” is now available for download on the Apple App Store in China, following its initial release on Android and desktop platforms via local app stores.
Jimeng AI’s Capabilities
Jimeng AI stands out by providing users with advanced text-to-image and video generation features, similar to OpenAI’s Sora platform, which also uses GPT-based language models. Users can generate up to 80 images and 26 videos for free. For those needing more, a subscription option is available for 69 yuan (approximately $9.70) per month.
ByteDance’s Ongoing AI Developments
ByteDance continues to make strides in AI technology. The company recently introduced TikTok Symphony, an AI-powered tool that assists users in creating scripts, generating videos, and optimizing content for online ads. Additionally, TikTok has launched a generative AI chatbot named Tako, which provides answers to user queries and offers additional insights within the platform.
With the launch of Jimeng AI, ByteDance is further expanding its presence in the AI space, offering innovative tools that enhance content creation and user interaction. While Jimeng AI is currently only available in China, its capabilities signal ByteDance’s ongoing commitment to AI-driven innovation.
