Head of Product

Conversation-first AI video editor.

Create and edit video through natural language. Text, images, scripts go in; publishable video comes out. I own product strategy, roadmap, and the full creation workflow.

25M+ impressions from one AI film experiment.

I created a Stranger Things finale reimagined entirely with Seedance 2.0. The film went viral across Chinese and international media, becoming one of the most-referenced examples of AI video storytelling in 2026.

Coverage

Methodology

Content scarcity, script information density, fast MVP testing, cross-platform distribution, and an AI-native production pipeline. Total production cost: 50 RMB.

AI Will

with Xinshixiang

Designed and built an AI-guided reflective writing experience. Through structured conversation, 10,000+ young people explored mortality, relationships, and personal values. AI as medium for self-reflection, not content generation.
