Market Progress  

In internal testing with 30 creators with 100,000-1 million followers, average monthly viewership increased by 22%, with the Creaky channel ranking on TikTok's top charts for two consecutive weeks. Neo emphasized that "AI is only real-time feedback, creativity still relies on people." Palo will next launch "script-to-video" one-click editing and AI voiceover. In Q1 of 2026, it will open up the 50,000-100,000 follower tier, reducing the monthly fee to $99.
