1. Adoption evidence: While most sources are promotional articles from Mobvoi and partner Yun Baba, ICBC publicly demonstrated digital wealth advisors powered by Qimiao Yuan at the World Intelligence Congress, indicating real-world deployment in financial customer service. Core function: The platform converts text or audio into digital human videos with timeline editing and subtitles; it supports 2.5D avatar cloning, 3D virtual avatar customization, and multiple driving modes, enabling short drama creators, live sellers, and SMEs to batch-produce explainer videos without filming real people. A photo-to-digital-human feature is in beta, potentially lowering the barrier further.

2. Barrier and cost: Creating a 2.5D digital twin requires recording a ~5-minute real-person video; training takes 3–5 days, and the avatar can then be driven by text or audio. 3D custom avatars take longer and cost more. Official pricing has not been released; partner articles' claims of ‘controllable cost’ and ‘much lower than traditional filming’ are unverified social media statements. The platform advertises 200+ stock avatars and 1000+ voices, but transparent pricing and API details remain unavailable.
