CapCut launches AI assistant Xiaoying and Hub for one-stop AI video creation
On September 20, ByteDance's CapCut (Jianying) held a launch event at the Douyin Creator Conference, debuting its AI assistant Xiaoying (Jianying Assistant) that edits videos from natural-language descriptions without manual timeline work. Blogger @xiaohu added that the assistant supports custom Skills and importing external Agents, giving it extensibility.
Confirmed
- Jianying Hub launched, built on an infinite canvas plus multi-track editor, starting from a sentence, reference video or document, and integrating assets from AI creation platforms such as Jimeng and Xiaoyunque
- On PC, users can generate images, storyboards and manage assets with Seedream 5.0 Pro inside Hub, batch-generate storyboard videos with Seedance 2.5, and send AI-generated videos into multi-track editing in one click
- Mobile supports voice-based 'talk-to-edit'
- AI Ultra membership launched, merging AI creation credits with Jianying SVIP benefits
Why it matters
- CapCut unifies AI video generation and editing into a one-stop workflow, sharply lowering the barrier to video editing for short-video creators and marketing content producers
- With custom Skills and external Agent support, the assistant has platform-level extensibility, marking a key step toward AI-driven creation tools
