Bilibili Tests AI Video Tool 'Peanut AI' for Rapid Content Creation
Bilibili Trials 'Peanut AI' to Revolutionize Video Production
Chinese video platform Bilibili has begun testing Peanut AI, an innovative artificial intelligence tool that promises to transform video content creation. Currently in its experimental phase, the technology allows users to produce complete videos in approximately three minutes using only a script or audio recording as input.
How Peanut AI Works
The system offers two primary workflows:
Intelligent Material Matching: Users submit a written script, and the AI automatically curates relevant visual assets from Bilibili's extensive media library. Early tests show output quality comparable to human-created content in popular categories like historical documentaries, entertainment news, and financial explainers.
Template-Based Creation: For creators seeking more structured outputs, Peanut AI provides customizable templates that maintain consistent formatting while allowing personalization.
"This represents a significant leap in democratizing content production," noted industry analyst Li Wei. "By reducing technical barriers, Bilibili could see exponential growth in creator participation."
Integration with Bilibili's Ecosystem
Finished videos can be published directly to the platform with one-click functionality. The development aligns with Bilibili's broader AI strategy—last year CEO Chen Rui unveiled their proprietary large language model currently powering real-time multilingual subtitles with 90% accuracy across ten languages including English, Japanese, and Thai.
Industry Implications
The introduction of Peanut AI comes as global platforms increasingly adopt generative AI tools:
- YouTube launched similar features for Shorts creators last quarter
- TikTok integrated automated captioning in 2024
- Douyin (China's TikTok counterpart) reports 40% of new content now uses some form of AI assistance
Content moderation remains a key challenge, with Bilibili confirming human review will continue for all AI-generated uploads during the testing period.
Key Points:
- Three-minute production: From script to finished video using AI automation
- Dual creation modes: Choose between algorithmic asset matching or template-driven workflows
- Quality benchmark: Output rivals human-made content in specific verticals
- Strategic alignment: Complements Bilibili's existing AI translation infrastructure
- Global trend: Part of wider industry shift toward assisted content creation
