Tiangong's 'Short Drama Workbench' Moves to SD2.0, Using AI Agent Direction to Curb Character Drift

#Skywork#Kunlun Tech#Tiangong#DramaWave#Video Generation

Kunlun Wanwei has revamped Tiangong’s “Short Drama Workbench,” adding an agent-driven intelligent storyboarding feature called “SD2.0” along with an “infinite canvas.” The update aims to shift AI short-drama production away from leaving things to random generation and toward a controllable production pipeline, addressing common problems like inconsistent character faces and positioning, and stories that fall apart.

Details

  • SD2.0 intelligent storyboarding: A six-stage workflow — script upload, asset extraction, blocking diagram generation, prompt templates, storyboard scripting, and video generation — with human checkpoints for intervention and review at each stage
  • Character consistency: A Director Agent interprets the script and automatically generates multi-angle assets for characters, scenes, and props. It maps reference compositions across consecutive shots to prevent drift in faces and positioning
  • Infinite canvas: Consolidates production assets and outputs into a single project view. Supports checking scenes in 720-degree panorama and pre-planning character placement and group scenes on a 3D director’s stage
  • Multilingual support: Native English support means it can be used directly for producing short dramas aimed at overseas markets
  • Track record: Works produced with this workbench (such as “The Sacrificed Son Rises to God” and “Golden Dragon: Yield to None”) reportedly generated “million-dollar” revenue within just seven days of release on the company’s own platform, DramaWave
  • What’s next: Plans call for phased integration of multiple video generation models, including Skyreels, Seedance, and Kling

How to try it

  • Studio management features include permission-based sub-accounts and cost tracking by project, team, and time period
  • Tiangong AI’s short drama business has grown into Kunlun Wanwei’s leading revenue driver, outpacing the company’s broader AI tools business in annual recurring revenue (ARR); this update is part of that effort to strengthen production capacity
