The AI handles the technical lookups and URL generation.

SEARCH

Find specific media

The AI scans your Aliyun VOD library to locate the exact video file you're looking for based on your description.

LINK

Get authorized URLs

Once the file is found, the AI generates secure playback links that work for specific video definitions.

QUALITY

Select video resolution

You can specify if you need an HD or SD link, and the AI pulls the correct version for that quality level.

HUMAN

Review and use

The AI provides the link, but you decide where to paste it or how to share it with your users.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

Your AI acts as the interface between your chat and the Aliyun VOD API.
