LibTV is an AI video creation platform from Chinese AI startup LiblibAI that serves both human creators and autonomous AI agents through a shared "infinite canvas" workspace, chaining script, storyboard, image, and video generation into a single node-based workflow.

LiblibAI launched LibTV on March 18, 2026, drawing over 100,000 users on day one; parent company Evoken then closed a $300M B+ round at a $2B+ valuation in June. LibTV's Skill-based Agent — 100+ director-style presets like Wes Anderson TVCs — shipped July 15, three months after launch, finally delivering the one-sentence-to-finished-film promise.

💡

A user turned a single photo of a hotpot figurine into a Wes Anderson-style TVC by typing one sentence into LibTV's Agent chat; short-drama and agricultural-livestream creators in China now chain Codex + LibTV CLI (Seedance 2.0) into fully automated production pipelines.

LibTV is a TV production studio compressed into a chat window — pick a director's style, describe the shot, and the crew is already working.

Outlook

6-month signal projection and commercial timeline.

Signal medium
Revenue strong

Deep-pocketed parent (Evoken, $2B+ valuation, $300M ARR) keeps shipping fast, but the product is still Chinese-only and undiscovered by English SERPs.

Risk · No English localization yet — if LiblibAI doesn't expand outside China, global search demand may never materialize.
