GeeLark Expands Its AIGC Suite and Opens AI Content Creation to Free Users

Published

on

SINGAPORE, Aug. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — GeeLark today announced a major expansion of its AIGC capabilities, introducing new AI models and editing tools for social media content creation. Previously available only to paid users, GeeLark AIGC can now also be used on the free plan.

The update gives more social media managers access to AI content creation within the same platform they use for cloud phones, account management, and automation. It reflects GeeLark’s broader strategy to bring content production and social media operations into one connected workspace.

More Models for Different Creative Needs

GeeLark now supports a broad selection of video generation models, including Seedance 2.5, Seedance 2.0, Seedance 2.0 Fast, Seedance 1.5 Pro, Seedance 1.0 Pro Fast, Kling 3.0, Kling 2.5, Veo 3.1, and Hailuo 2.3.

For image generation, users can choose from GPT Image 2, Kling 3.0, Nano Banana Pro, Seedream 5.0 Lite, and Seedream 4.0.

Instead of relying on a single model, SMM teams can choose different options based on creative style, output quality, generation speed, and campaign requirements. This provides greater flexibility when creating content for multiple accounts, platforms, and markets.

GeeLark also offers AI editing tools for slicing content, removing watermarks, and generating smart captions. These capabilities help teams prepare content for social media without moving every step between separate tools.

Bringing AIGC to Free Users

In previous versions, GeeLark’s AIGC capabilities were limited to paid users. With the Aug. 27 update, free users can also access AIGC and explore its supported generation and editing tools.

Opening AIGC to the free plan lowers the barrier for individual creators and smaller teams that want to test AI-assisted content workflows before scaling their operations.

This expansion also reflects how GeeLark views AI: not as a premium add-on isolated from the rest of the platform, but as an increasingly important part of everyday social media work.

Built Around the Daily Work of SMM Teams

Through conversations with social media professionals at industry events and online, GeeLark found that many potential users were surprised to learn that AIGC was already built into the platform. Their reaction highlighted a common problem in today’s social media technology stack.

SMM teams often use one group of tools to generate content, another to edit it, and separate platforms to manage accounts and execute campaigns. Each additional tool creates more subscriptions, file transfers, logins, and handoffs.

“Social media managers do not need AI as an isolated novelty. They need it to fit naturally into the work they already do,” said Dominic, CEO of GeeLark. “By opening AIGC to free users and expanding our model selection, we are making AI content creation more accessible and more closely connected to real social media workflows.”

From Content Generation to AI-Powered Operations

Generative AI has made content creation faster, but producing an image or video is only one part of a campaign. Teams still need to prepare content, manage accounts, work across platforms, and carry out repetitive operational tasks.

GeeLark is working to connect these stages more closely. AIGC supports the creative side of the workflow, while cloud phones and automation support the operational side of mobile-first social media management.

This positions GeeLark beyond a standalone AI generator. The company is building an integrated platform where teams can create content, prepare assets, manage operating environments, and scale social media workflows from one place.

As AI becomes more deeply embedded in marketing, its greatest value will not come from generation alone. It will come from connecting creative intelligence with the infrastructure needed to turn content into action.

SHANGHAI, Nov. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Windward Bio, a portfolio company of Qiming Venture Partners and a clinical-stage biotechnology company, successfully listed on Nasdaq on November 13, 2026. Windward Bio (Nasdaq: WWB) priced its IPO at $17.00 per share. Its shares closed at $28.50 on the first trading day, up 68% from the IPO price, giving the company a market capitalization of approximately $1.69 billion. This is Qiming Venture Partners’ 11th IPO in 2026.

Qiming Venture Partners invested in Windward Bio’s inaugural Series A financing in 2025 and continued to support the company in its Series B financing in 2026. Qiming also participated in this IPO financing round.

Windward Bio was founded in 2024 with a mission to transform the treatment paradigm for patients living with chronic inflammatory diseases through the development of differentiated biologic therapies targeting clinically validated disease pathways. Led by a team with extensive expertise across discovery, development, and commercialization, Windward Bio is advancing a pipeline of ultra-long-acting antibody medicines to improve clinical outcomes, reduce treatment burden and expand treatment options for patients with serious respiratory and dermatologic diseases, including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and atopic dermatitis.

Windward Bio’s lead program, WIN378, is a potentially novel anti-TSLP monoclonal antibody engineered for improved potency and extended half-life. WIN378 is currently being evaluated in POLARIS-1, a Phase 2/3 study in severe uncontrolled asthma, and SIRIUS, a Phase 2 study in COPD. The company’s pipeline also includes WIN027, a clinical-stage, long-acting bispecific antibody targeting TSLP and IL-13 with potential applications across multiple inflammatory and immunological diseases. Windward Bio holds exclusive global rights (excluding Greater China and certain Asian countries) to WIN378 through a licensing agreement with Kelun-Biotech and Harbour BioMed, and has separately licensed WIN027 from Qyuns Therapeutics.

“Qiming Venture Partners invests in differentiated, globally competitive biotech innovation designed to address significant unmet needs for patients, and Windward Bio exemplifies this approach. We believe novel, long-acting biologics will reshape the treatment of severe chronic respiratory and skin diseases, and that WIN378 and WIN027 have the potential to expand and meaningfully improve the treatment options available to patients. In the hands of Luca and his team, with their expertise and proven track record, Windward is well-positioned to deliver on this potential, and we look forward to supporting the company through its next phase of growth,” said Alexander Sinclair Wilson, Principal at Qiming Venture Partners.
