In 2026, demand for AI training data surges, making the authorization of materials like portraits and voices a new avenue for content monetization. The platform allows individuals to set their own authorization fees from 500 RMB to 2,000 RMB, with buyers purchasing usage rights per project. The platform takes a commission ranging from 3% to 30% (based on platform trading caliber). A report by the China Netcasting Services Association shows that in the first three months, the number of AI micro-dramas exceeded 120,000, and 95% of micro-dramas used AI. Overseas counterparts like Vermillio have already secured a $16 million Series A financing.
