About Nanjing 8.8 Digital Technology

Nanjing 8.8 Digital Technology Co., Ltd., also known as EightPointEight Digital, is a Chinese firm established in 2014 specializing in 3D digital human technology and AI-driven content generation. The company was founded by Geng Guangxing, a serial entrepreneur with a background in the film and television industry and animation technology. Since its inception, the firm has positioned itself as a full-stack service provider in the virtual human industry, securing its status as a national high-tech enterprise with numerous patents and software copyrights. The company's core offering is a comprehensive, all-in-one platform for virtual human applications. It developed XMEN.AI, a proprietary AI 3D digital human content generation model with a unique dual-engine architecture. This technology enables clients across government, enterprise, media, and entertainment sectors to generate virtual human short videos, conduct AI-powered livestreams, and deploy interactive conversational bots. Notable projects include creating digital humans for Xinhua News Agency, Phoenix New Media, and a hyper-realistic virtual version of actress Gao Yuanyuan for the cosmetics brand Clinique. The business model encompasses a 'software + hardware + deployment service' matrix, offering solutions through APIs and SDKs for various platforms. In a significant strategic expansion, the company launched AniShort in March 2026, an AI-powered collaborative platform for short drama production. Described as a one-stop solution, AniShort integrates the entire production workflow from scriptwriting and storyboarding to video generation and editing, utilizing leading AI models. This new venture quickly attracted significant investment, securing nearly 100 million yuan in a recent financing round, which the company intends to use for further technological development and global market expansion.
