Eddy Liao

Founder of NEXT U (nextu.studio) — upload a product photo, get a finished ad back: copy, images, video and music in one guided AI flow, auto-composed into vertical + horizontal MP4s. Pay-as-you-go credits, no subscription, only charged when a generation succeeds.

Before this: 12+ years in B2B sales, then full-time AI video. A short film of mine was a selected work at the Australia Day AI Creation Sprint 2026 and aired on Sportcast for a month.

Based in Taipei. NEXT U went live two weeks ago and I'm currently learning the gap between shipping and getting users. Happy to trade notes.
