Xiaoyunque Short Drama Agent: AI Short Drama Tool by CapCut (ByteDance) Team 148

Xiaoyunque Short Drama Agent is an AI short drama tool made by ByteDance's Jianying (CapCut) team, built on their in-house Seedance 2.0 video model. You throw in a 100,000-word script, and it automatically breaks down character relationships, timelines, and emotional turning points, then generates a complete video with storyboards, narration, and sound.

Xiaoyunque Short Drama Agent is not simple text-to-video—it's purpose-built for the short drama scenario. It tackles the long-standing problems in AI video: character face-swapping, continuity errors, and inconsistencies between shots. The system automatically scans the entire script and tracks each character's appearance evolution from appearance to finale, including aging, costume changes, and expression consistency, doing its best to make the same person look like the same person across different shots.

Xiaoyunque Short Drama Agent is available on the Xiaoyunque AI web version (xyq.jianying.com), and the mobile app also works. In June 2026, it was upgraded to 2.0, adding finer-grained features such as the Asset Canvas, 720° panoramic view, and lighting/camera control.
