Overview

Pollo AI operates as a multi-model aggregation hub for AI-generated media. Rather than relying on a single proprietary model, the platform routes user prompts and assets across a curated catalog of third-party models—including Kling AI, Runway, Google Veo, Hailuo AI, Pika, and others—as well as its own in-house Pollo model series [1][7]. The consumer-facing product is organized into three specialized studios: Creative Studio for general video and image generation, Marketing Studio for ad creatives and UGC video production, and Commerce Studio for e-commerce product visuals and virtual try-ons [1][7]. A fourth surface, Pollo Agent, is positioned as an automated, no-edit video production workflow [1]. The platform is available as a web application and as iOS and Android mobile apps, with a credit-based freemium pricing model [5][7].

History

The parent company, Shenzhen Jiuling Technology Co., Ltd., was founded in 2021 by Zhu Chenbiao (also referred to as Bill Zhu), a Sun Yat-sen University graduate who previously worked at Wondershare Technology and built more than twenty overseas apps across devices, content, and multimedia categories [15][16]. Pollo AI, the company's flagship product, launched in September 2024 [16]. The Singapore legal entity, Cocosoft Technology Pte. Ltd., is listed as the developer in the Apple App Store and Google Play [5][7]. The product attracted 4 million monthly active users within seven months of launch [16]. In December 2025, the company announced its first institutional funding round—a seed round of approximately $14 million—led by Gaorong Capital (also reported under the romanization Gaocheng Capital), with participation from ZhenFund [14][15]. As of the announcement date, the platform reported over 20 million registered users, more than 6 million monthly active users, more than 200,000 daily active users, and annualized revenue exceeding $20 million, and stated it had reached break-even in May 2025 [39]. No acquisitions have been reported [12].

Market Position

Pollo AI competes in the AI video generation and model-aggregation platform category. The company has publicly articulated a strategic goal of becoming what its founder describes as the AI-era equivalent of CapCut or Canva—a mass-market, all-in-one creative platform [16]. The platform's software category has been listed by The SaaS News and industry trackers as 'AI Image and Video Generation / Creative Tools / Model Aggregation Platforms' [32]. As of December 2025, the platform cited over 20 million registered users and more than 6 million monthly active users, figures stated by the founder at the time of the seed funding announcement [39]. No independent analyst firm rankings (Gartner, Forrester, IDC) for this specific company or product were found at the time of writing. In July 2026, Pollo AI launched Pollo API, a unified developer API providing access to more than 300 AI video and image models—a product extension targeting enterprise and developer use cases [51]. Notable customers are not publicly documented.

Competition

Pollo AI's primary competitive frame is as a multi-model aggregator, meaning it integrates access to platforms that are also direct competitors in the AI video generation space. Key single-model or platform competitors include Runway ML, Pika Labs, Kling AI, Luma AI (Dream Machine), and Hailuo AI [22][25]. Third-party analyses characterize Pollo's differentiation as breadth of model access—users can switch between models such as Kling, Runway, and Hailuo from within a single subscription—rather than proprietary model performance [22][30]. This aggregation approach has been noted as a trade-off: advanced features on integrated third-party models may lag behind those available through direct access, and users who primarily use a single underlying model may find direct subscriptions more cost-effective [22]. Runway is described by third-party sources as the more established platform for professional editing control and its own Gen-series model family [30]. Pika Labs is associated with social-first, stylized short-form content with its 'Pikaffects' suite [24][25]. For the developer API segment, Pollo AI has cited Fal.ai as a comparable service, though no independent benchmark comparison between the two has been published [52].

Editorial note: PitchBook lists Pollo AI as founded in 2021 and headquartered in Shenzhen, while Preqin independently confirms 2021 and Shenzhen for the parent (Shenzhen Jiuling Technology Co., Ltd.), though the operating Singapore entity (Cocosoft Technology Pte. Ltd.) is the registered developer on app stores. The exact founding date of the Pollo AI product itself (September 2024) comes primarily from the DJ Technologies article summarizing Pandaily's coverage, which is itself a translation/summary source; the Pandaily original could not be fully accessed to verify the precise launch month. Employee count could not be confirmed from any independent source; Crunchbase lists the range as 51–100 but access to the full record was not possible. No Gartner, Forrester, or IDC analyst recognition for Pollo AI was found. No named enterprise or notable brand customers have been publicly documented by the company or in trade press.
