SeaArt, a generative AI technology company, has officially announced the launch of SeaVerse in January 2026, marking a major step in its long-term platform evolution. With this move, SeaArt is transitioning from a visually driven AI gallery into a fully immersive, all-modal creative consumption ecosystem. More importantly, the launch reinforces the company’s ambition to become a global leader in AI-powered personalized entertainment communities built on an “All in AI-Native” philosophy.
Over the past two years, SeaArt’s flagship platform, SeaArt AI, has rapidly emerged as one of the world’s most prominent generative AI platforms by traffic. The platform now serves more than 30 million monthly active users, has surpassed 50 million registered users, and is approaching an annual recurring revenue (ARR) of USD 50 million. However, what truly differentiates SeaArt AI is user engagement. On average, users spend more than three times longer on the platform compared to similar AI tools. While many AI products focus on speed and productivity, they often struggle to retain users. SeaArt, by contrast, has prioritized emotional resonance, creative expression, and social interaction transforming its platform into a community rather than a transactional tool.

At the core of this success is SeaArt’s decentralized PUGC (Professional User Generated Content) ecosystem. Through SeaArt AI, creators are able to monetize their artistic taste and unique styles using AI. Meanwhile, users pay for emotional connection and aesthetic preference rather than technical model upgrades. Even in 2026, a significant portion of users continue to rely on earlier models such as SD 1.5, driven by their affinity for specific artistic expressions rather than newer versions. By offering diverse incentives, SeaArt strengthens creator–user relationships and fuels a self-sustaining growth loop across its ecosystem.
In parallel, SeaArt AI has developed one of the world’s largest AI-native creative asset libraries, featuring more than 2 million tier-one AI creation SKUs. Building on this foundation, SeaVerse is designed to extend creative expression beyond production alone, enabling consumers to seamlessly move from creation to interaction and ultimately to monetization.

Speaking about the platform’s positioning, the team stated: “This is an AI-native content ecosystem built around creation, consumption, interaction, and monetization.” Drawing on experience from SLG gaming, the team has applied proven engagement strategies to AI community building. As they further explained, “AI products should not only sell efficiency; they also need to address emotional value and the desire to express.”
As the broader AI industry shifts from a phase dominated by computing power expansion to one driven by real-world applications, SeaArt is actively shaping the future of AI consumption. Ultimately, as market hype fades, platforms that endure will be those that embed human emotion, foster social connection, and genuinely support creators. Through SeaArt AI and SeaVerse, SeaArt is positioning itself firmly at the center of this next chapter in the AI-native creative economy.
