SeaArt, a generative AI technology company, has launched SeaVerse in January 2026—a next-generation creative platform centered on the vision of “All in AI-Native.” This launch represents a strategic evolution for SeaArt, transitioning from a primarily visual AI gallery into a comprehensive, multi-modal creative ecosystem designed to foster community, expression, and monetization. SeaArt’s flagship product, SeaArt AI, has rapidly grown into one of the world’s top generative AI platforms by user traffic. With over 30 million monthly active users, more than 50 million registered users, and annual recurring revenue approaching USD 50 million, the platform stands out not just in scale but in engagement. Users spend more than three times the average time on platform compared to similar AI tools—highlighting a shift from efficiency-driven utility to emotional and creative connection. Unlike many AI applications that prioritize speed and task completion, SeaArt AI is built around human expression, social interaction, and artistic identity. It functions less as a tool to be used and discarded, and more as a living community where creators share, collaborate, and earn from their unique aesthetic visions. This focus on emotional value and personal expression has helped drive high retention and deep user loyalty. At the core of SeaArt’s model is a decentralized PUGC (Professional User Generated Content) ecosystem. Creators on the platform monetize their individual style and creative taste using AI, while users pay for emotional resonance and artistic identity—not just the latest model version. Even in 2026, many users continue to favor earlier models like Stable Diffusion 1.5, not for technical superiority, but for their distinctive visual language and artistic character. This preference underscores the platform’s success in cultivating a culture where style, not just performance, drives value. SeaArt AI has built one of the largest AI-native creation asset libraries in the world, with over 2 million high-quality, tier-one AI-generated SKUs. SeaVerse expands this library and experience, enabling users to move seamlessly from creation to consumption, interaction, and monetization. The platform is designed to complete the full creative lifecycle, empowering users to not only generate content but also share, discover, and profit from it. The team behind SeaArt brings experience from the SLG gaming space, where engagement and community building are paramount. This background has shaped their philosophy: “AI products should not only sell efficiency; they must also fulfill the human desire to create, connect, and be seen.” As the AI industry transitions from a phase of hardware and compute dominance to one of application and user experience innovation, SeaArt is positioning itself at the forefront of the AI consumption era. With the hype around AI cooling, the platforms that endure will be those that nurture human connection, honor creator value, and deliver meaningful emotional experiences. SeaArt AI and SeaVerse represent a bold answer to that challenge—one built not on algorithms alone, but on creativity, community, and culture.
