ShengShu Technology Unveils Vidu Claw, the AI CMO That Turns a Single Brief Into a Finished Ad

With the world's first Video Plan, powered by Vidu Q3, Vidu Claw creates complete ad campaigns from a single goal - no complex workflow, no per-tool pricing

SINGAPORE, May 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- ShengShu Technology today unveils Vidu Claw, the first step toward building the AI CMO, starting from video. More than just a production tool, Vidu Claw acts as a genuine creative partner that integrates into marketing operations to plan campaigns and produce content. It delivers the strategic oversight of a world-class executive without the traditional constraints of human bandwidth, working hours, or production budgets.

To function as a true AI CMO, Vidu Claw combines two complementary skill sets. Vidu Skills drives the creative production layer, image generation, video synthesis, and cinematic consistency, powered by the proprietary Vidu Q3 model. Marketing Skills covers the strategic layer, integrating specialized capabilities such as trend analysis, scripting, and performance optimisation. Together, they form a complete pipeline that transforms a single brief into a ready-to-use advertisement, from first insight to final frame, with no manual handoffs.

The World's First Video Plan: Results, Not Credits

Despite rapid advances in generative AI, complete video production remains fragmented, expensive, and fundamentally opaque. Most "all-in-one" platforms are merely aggregators, routing tasks through third-party models and passing compounding costs to users as hidden credit charges that can quickly spiral into tens of thousands. This "aggregator tax" has shifted the barrier from production skill to unpredictable billing. Vidu Claw was built to shatter this ceiling, introducing the world's first Video Plan, a results-driven subscription that delivers finished ads. It charges complete advertising output rather than tool access or generation credits.

The result is a complete and high-quality advertisement, brands know exactly what they are paying for before they pay for it, and the bill, when it arrives, matches the price that was promised. Rather than absorbing the cost of every failed generation attempt and every revision cycle within a depleting credit balance, Video Plan users pay for results. It is a fundamental reframing of how advertising production is priced and a direct structural challenge to every other platform in the market.

One Brief. One Ad. Complete Video Production Without Complexity.

Built on the open-source OpenClaw framework and powered by Vidu Q3, Vidu Claw is available directly within the Vidu platform, giving users zero-setup access to full-workflow marketing automation. Starting with a simple prompt or marketing objective, users can generate planning, scripting, storyboarding, asset creation, and platform-ready video output within a single system.

That simplicity is made possible by the platform underneath it. Unlike aggregator tools that route requests through a patchwork of third-party models, Vidu Claw generates every frame of video natively through Vidu Q3. Operating directly on the Vidu platform also gives users access to the Vidu Skills system, a library of thousands of specialised AI video and marketing capabilities designed for professional advertising and content production. These purpose-built skills support a wide range of creative scenarios, from social video automation and script-to-video creation to AI avatars, text-to-video, and faceless video workflows. The system is also open and extensible, allowing teams to integrate Vidu Skills into existing workflows through OpenClaw, Claude Code, and other compatible agent environments.

The latest generation of Vidu Q3 represents a significant leap in both speed and accessibility. Available in two different modes, Flash Mode delivers 10-second 1080P clips in just 80 to 150 seconds, up to five times faster than industry speed benchmarks. The more complex Cinematic Mode produces a 10-second clip five minutes faster than the market average, and renders 720P videos in as little as one minute. By slashing wait times and reducing the cost of a one-hour production by up to $1,450, Vidu Q3 allows teams to focus on scaling creative output rather than managing render queues.

In practice, this means a user can move from idea to finished ad with almost no operational complexity. A brief as simple as "Create a short-form ad for a running shoe targeting young women on Instagram" is enough for Vidu Claw to generate the creative concept, script, storyboard, visuals, voiceover, music, and final video. Wherever a user can send a message, they can produce a professional advertisement.

This native platform advantage translates into a new set of production economics for AI video:

• On cost: Vidu Claw brings visual quality, cinematic language, and creative packaging previously reserved for large-budget campaigns within reach of brands of any size, reducing the total cost of a complete advertising video to approximately 1% of traditional production.
• On speed: The full production pipeline is compressed into a single automated workflow that can be completed in under a day. For high-demand assets such as social ads and e-commerce videos, what once required days of coordination becomes a same-day deliverable.
• On scale: By eliminating the credit passthrough costs that make volume uneconomical on aggregator platforms, Vidu Claw allows teams to produce and iterate at a previously prohibitive scale. Instead of investing in one hero asset and hoping it converts, marketers can generate, deploy, and A/B test multiple creative variations in the time it once took to produce one.

Full-Workflow Marketing Automation

Beyond mere production, Vidu Claw functions as a 24/7 AI CMO, it automates the entire marketing workflow, from strategic planning through to final content delivery. At its core is the Marketing Skills orchestration layer, integrating tens of thousands of specialised marketing capabilities across the full production pipeline, including trend analysis and insights, marketing script generation, storyboarding and shot design, asset generation (visuals, background music, video synthesis), social media creatives and copywriting, performance tracking and analytics, and document generation (PPT, DOC, reports).

This flexible intelligent orchestration layer dynamically selects the most suitable models and resources for each objective. Vidu Claw moves AI from a passive assistant to a core creative teammate, enabling brands to scale their marketing operations with unprecedented speed and data-driven precision.

A New Standard For Marketing Infrastructure

The launch of Vidu Claw marks a fundamental shift in how AI participates in real-world production. It does more than lower the barrier to content creation, but it redefines how marketing work gets done. By understanding goals, autonomously breaking down tasks, and executing them end to end, AI moves from a passive tool into an always-on creative teammate for brands and marketers of every size

ShengShu Technology Unveils Vidu Claw, the AI CMO That Turns a Single Brief Into a Finished Ad

• With the inclusion principle integrated into main innovation projects, Ant International now links 2 bn user accounts with 150 mn merchants through multi-layered partnerships, provides global account services to 1.6 mn SMEs, and helps over 30 mn underserved businesses and individuals access quality credit.
• As its global payment, global account and embedded finance services expand rapidly, it is accelerating investments in compliance capabilities and advanced security technologies to tackle evolving regulatory and risk environments.

SINGAPORE, May 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Ant International, a leading global digital payment, digitisation and financial technology provider, today published its 2025 Sustainability Report, the 2nd since the Company began independent operation.

This is also the first year Ant International integrated sustainability metrics into the management's performance evaluation framework. As Eric Jing, Chairman of Ant Group and Ant International said, "Accountability must be structural, not aspirational. When sustainability outcomes are valued as much as revenue growth or operational efficiency, the whole organisation is more likely to align accordingly-just like how it might work with entire economies."

In the Company's 6Ts Sustainability Framework (Travel, Trade, Thrive, Tech, Talent, Trust), Inclusion remains the critical objective. "Our success relies on our ability to innovate for small businesses and emerging markets to thrive above social and technological shifts. Doing great by doing good should be our strategic differentiator," said Peng Yang, CEO and Douglas Feagin, President at the Report's launch.

• Alipay+ and Antom, the Company's Global Payment pillars, now connect 2 bn user accounts globally to over 150 mn merchants. This vibrant ecosystem of interoperability links up more than 10 national QR systems and supports 300+ payment methods in over 220 markets, including all card schemes, and 50 digital wallets, bank apps and BNPL apps.
• Beyond payment, WorldFirst and Bettr, our Global Account and Embedded Finance services, support over 1.6 mn SMEs and provide credit access to 30 mn MSMEs and underserved users, integrating new AI and blockchain capabilities.
• The inclusion metric was built systemically into major innovation projects, for instance, more SME-friendly agentic payment and AI commerce tools, AI-as-a-Service platform for emerging markets, and the EPOS SME AI solutions.

"We will continue to double down on responsible innovation and collaboration to achieve our shared vision: a more inclusive, prosperous, and trustful global economy," said Yang.

In 2025, Ant International's sustainability work focused on 3 priorities across the 6T arenas:

1. Democratising FinAI for SMEs and Emerging Markets

Ant International rolled out various AI tools to ensure emerging markets and SMEs need to be able to leverage AI without massive infrastructure or capacity investments.

Payment AI & Agentic Commerce :

• Antom Copilot 2.0 completes payment integration, onboarding, risk and chargeback resolution in secure, automated workflow.
• Antom Agentic Payment Solution enables AI agents to securely initiate and complete card- and APM-based transactions in a pioneering payment mandate model.

FinAI Capacity Building:

• Open-sourced AI FX solution delivers FX forecasts with up to 93% prediction accuracy across complex, volatile currency markets.
• EPOS360, an AI-powered SME operation and financing platform, rolls out in Southeast Asia.

2. Enhancing Compliance and Technology Foundations of Trust

The Company invested heavily in 2025 on technologies and partnerships on AML and security.

• SHIELD 3-in-1 Transformer model, supported by 7 bn parameters, identifies high-risk transactions with over 95% precision, while raising payment success rates by up to 13.5%.
• Digital Wallet Guardian Partnership shares risk tech, anti-fraud and funds protection solutions among wallet partners to protect consumers and merchants.
• The Alipay+ Privacy Enhancing Technology (PET) programme was cited by Singapore's Personal Data Protection Commission in its practical guidance for industry application.

Meanwhile, advanced technology application must be harnessed by rigorous compliance standards and practices. In 2025, we further expanded: 

• Our Risk Management Committee mechanism, which implements a comprehensive risk governance framework from the corporate down to the ground unit level.
• Our 3-layered Anti-Money-Laundering programme is anchored in a global baseline of minimum control standards to ensure consistency and integrity across all markets. We also use AI-powered risk detection and security review tools to improve accuracy and efficiency.

The Company plans to accelerate investments in global and local compliance capabilities to meet evolving regulatory and risk environments.

3. Digitalising Public Participation to Drive Social Impact

In 2025, working with partners from New York to West Java, our people started new grassroots efforts to support youth, environment and community projects with digital expertise. 

• As the Innovation Partner for Sustainability of the New York Liberty, Alipay+ began supporting New York Liberty, the WNBA champion team on Liberty Sneaker Drives for underprivileged groups, Math Hoops project to build youth skills, and Threes for Trees project in NYC and Brooklyn.

"Sustainability is increasingly becoming our primary driver of responsible innovation, "said Leiming Chen, Chief Sustainability Officer of Ant International, "we will work together to ensure that as we expand globally, our progress remains inclusive, measurable, and impactful for the communities we serve."
