👆 Click the cover to play the full 2-minute demo

A complete **2-minute, 16:9 cinematic short film** — produced end-to-end from a single natural-language sentence, with **zero manual editing**. This showcase demonstrates how an AI Agent can compose a multi-step creative pipeline by orchestrating three primitives: - **[Qwen Code](https://github.com/QwenLM/qwen-code)** — the agentic coding model that interprets the user's intent and drives the workflow - **[Aliyun Model Studio CLI](https://github.com/modelstudioai/cli/)** — invokes **HappyHorse 1.1**, Aliyun Model Studio's text-/image-/reference-to-video generation model - **[spark-video Skill](https://github.com/JohnKeating1997/spark-video)** — handles scene decomposition, storyboarding, shot continuity, and final stitching ### The single prompt > _"Generate a roughly 2-minute video in Japanese cinematic style — a sweet, innocent first-love story about a high-school girl. The plot should be heart-fluttering enough to make viewers want to fall in love. Aspect ratio: 16:9."_ ## Showcase 2: A Short-Film Director Managed Agent from One Sentence

👆 Click the cover to play the full demo

One sentence builds a reusable cloud-side short-film director for storyboarding, storyboard image generation, and video creation: - **[Qwen Code](https://github.com/QwenLM/qwen-code)** — understands the requirement and generates the agent configuration - **[Aliyun Model Studio CLI](https://github.com/modelstudioai/cli/)** — validates the configuration, previews the changes, and completes the deployment - **[Managed Agent](https://bailian.console.aliyun.com/cn-beijing/?spm=a2ty07.github&tab=managed-agents#/managed-agents/quick-start)** — runs the director role along with its skills and tools in the cloud ### The single prompt > _"Build me a Managed Agent app that can produce short films — a director expert that generates videos and can also design the matching storyboards."_ ## Installation **Agent install (recommended)** Send the following to your Agent — it will detect your environment, then install and verify the CLI for you: ```text Please read https://bailian.aliyun.com/cli/install.md and install the Aliyun Model Studio CLI for me ``` **Install with NPM** ```bash npm install -g bailian-cli bl skill init ``` > Requires Node.js >= 18.17. **Install on macOS/Linux** ```bash curl -fsSL https://bailian.aliyun.com/cli/install.sh | bash ``` > No Node.js required. The installer automatically installs Bailian Skills. **Install on Windows** ```powershell irm https://bailian.aliyun.com/cli/install.ps1 | iex ``` > No Node.js required. The installer automatically installs Bailian Skills. ## Quick Start Once installed, just describe your task to your AI Agent — no need to assemble commands by hand. | Scenario | What to say to your Agent | | ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Managed Agent | "Create a Managed Agent that can generate short-film storyboards and videos." | | Image & video generation | "Generate an image of a cat in a spacesuit on Mars, then turn it into a video." | | Speech recognition | "Transcribe this audio; if proper nouns are wrong, add hot words and try again." | | Usage & quota | "Show my recent model usage, free-tier quota, and rate limits." | | Monitoring & alerts | "Show my model call stats, failures and logs, and create an alert rule." | | Throughput reservations | "List my throughput reservations and capacity instances, then scale, renew or release capacity and wait for the operation to finish." | | Model selection | "Recommend a model for image understanding and customer support." | | Decision model | "Use the Bailian decision model to route this ticket and assess whether it needs escalation." | | About Bailian CLI | "Tell me what Bailian CLI can do for me, and suggest how to use it for my needs." | > More examples and scenarios: [Aliyun Model Studio CLI Site](https://bailian.console.aliyun.com/cli?spm=a2ty07.github) ## Authentication ### Console Login (OAuth, Recommended) Required for console capability commands (model list, app list, MCP list, workspace, usage queries, rate-limit increases, direct console calls). It can create an ordinary API key when needed. Token Plan and other subscription plans cannot use `--console`; use the API Key login below. ```bash bl auth login --console ``` Use `--console-site international` for the international console. The CLI always prints the login URL. To choose a browser yourself, keep the command running and open the URL on the **same machine**: ```bash bl auth login --console --no-browser --console-site international ``` If the browser blocks the local callback, check the console site's local-network permission or try Firefox. The PNA compatibility header does not bypass Chrome's local-network permission or Safari's mixed-content restrictions. No callback within 15 minutes is a failure (exit code 5), not a successful login. If you already have a valid console access token, import it via stdin without a browser or local callback server. Specify the token's actual region and site; for example, in a POSIX shell: ```bash bl auth login --console --token-stdin --console-site international --console-region ap-southeast-1 < /path/to/console-token.txt ``` Input must be one raw token (up to 64 KiB), not JSON or `Bearer ...`; interactive terminal input is rejected to avoid echoing secrets. Use a protected file or trusted pipe, never put the token in command arguments or shell history, and remove temporary secret files after use. The CLI validates the token before saving; failure leaves existing credentials and the active Profile unchanged. Add `--config ` to save and activate a specific Profile on success. This imports only the console session, not a model API key. ### API Key To use an existing ordinary API key or a Token Plan subscription key, run the same command: ```bash bl auth login --api-key ``` Get an ordinary key from the [DashScope Console](https://bailian.console.aliyun.com/cn-beijing/?spm=a2ty07.github&tab=app#/api-key), or a Token Plan key from the [subscription overview](https://bailian.console.aliyun.com/cn-beijing?spm=a2ty07.github&tab=plan#/efm/subscription/overview). ### Alibaba Cloud OpenAPI AK/SK Token Plan seat and member management requires an Alibaba Cloud AccessKey. Get yours from the [RAM Console](https://ram.console.aliyun.com/manage/ak). > Recommended: create a RAM sub-account with minimum privileges instead of using the root account's AK/SK. ```bash bl auth login --open-api --access-key-id LTAI5t... --access-key-secret ... ``` ## Configuration ```bash # View current config bl config show # List all config profiles bl config list # Switch config profile bl config use --name token-plan # Switch the CLI interface to Chinese bl config set --key language --value zh-CN ``` Config file location: `~/.bailian/config.json` ## Update ```bash bl update ``` Upgrades the CLI to the latest version and refreshes the installed Agent Skills.
