AlchainHust · x · 2026-09-05
Developer Alchain (creator of 小猫补光灯 and the 女娲 skill) shares takeaways from Bilibili's Builder meetup in Shanghai:
- Contest stats: 80%+ of entrants in the AI Creation Contest were solo builders, 88% of creators had under 10k followers, producing 100 videos with 1M+ views and 4 products with 1M+ users.
- Winner: Dr. W's open-source AI catgirl companion Project N.E.K.O. took the 1M RMB prize, with 18 creators from other verticals voluntarily building plugins and scenes for it — "the product grows with users."
- AI eyes for the blind: another creator spent a year and 100k RMB building hardware+software assistance for blind users, restructured per viewer feedback, with 8M+ video views.
- Reflection: build in public evolves — audiences grow into co-builders, not just feedback sources.
