iMyFone Launches Japanese Site for Novi AI, Adding AI Agent Workflows and Seedance 2.0 Support
What happened: iMyFone, the company behind system utilities and more recently the AI media platform Novi AI, has opened a Japanese-language website for Novi AI. The update integrates Seedance 2.0 for video generation and GPT Image 2 for images, and introduces a proprietary AI agent workflow that automates the entire video production pipeline—from scriptwriting and character design to storyboard creation, clip generation, and final compositing with BGM and narration. Novi AI already aggregated models from Nano Banana, Sora, Kling, and others, positioning itself as a one-stop browser-based platform. Pricing starts at ¥2,380/month for 500 coins (approx. 25 videos or 50 images), with a perpetual license at ¥18,850.
Why it matters in the AI market: This launch exemplifies the 'AI agent as production assistant' pattern, where platforms abstract away multi-model complexity behind a user-friendly interface that handles end-to-end creative workflows. By localizing in Japanese and bundling Seedance 2.0 (a relatively recent model) with the agent function, iMyFone targets the growing creator economy in Japan—a market historically underserved by Western AI media tools. The move also fits the 'platform aggregation' strategy: Novi AI competes not by building its own foundation model but by becoming the distribution layer for multiple models, reducing switching costs for users and capturing usage data.
Grounded expert take: This is a classic 'distribution moat' play in the generative media segment. While Novi AI does not own a proprietary model, its agent layer—which automates multi-step creative production—creates a product moat: users who build workflows inside Novi AI will face friction migrating to a different aggregator. The Japanese localization signals awareness of region-specific demand for AI-generated anime-style content and storytelling, a niche where Chinese-origin tools like Kling and Seedance already have traction. Key watchpoints: whether the agent retains users beyond the free trial, and whether iMyFone can secure exclusive model integrations to differentiate from competitors like Runway or Pika.
