In the fast-evolving landscape of digital media and television, Wasu Media has taken a significant leap forward, establishing a cutting-edge AI multimodal research and development platform from the ground up. Remarkably, this sophisticated system was brought to life in mere days, all thanks to the power of NocoBase’s no-code capabilities. This case study explores how Wasu Media, a prominent player in the media industry, harnessed emerging AI and AIGC technologies to redefine content production, transforming intricate data pipelines and model workflows into a streamlined, visual innovation hub.

The Complexities of Modern Content Generation

Developing advanced content generation capabilities extends far beyond simply linking AI models. It involves meticulously managing vast amounts of data as it progresses through various stages. Wasu Media identified three critical areas demanding focused attention to master this complexity:

• Robust Data Management: Centralized organization, precise labeling, and integration of multimodal assets (text, images, audio, video) into a structured content repository are essential. This foundational framework is crucial for enabling effective semantic search, intelligent content recommendations, and sophisticated AIGC.
• Streamlined Workflow and Production Scheduling: Automating and visualizing every step, from initial topic selection and content generation to thorough review and final output, is paramount. A unified scheduling platform not only boosts efficiency but also facilitates multi-model orchestration, efficient task assignment, and robust version control.
• Real-time Data Monitoring: In large-scale content generation environments, real-time oversight of vital data points—including scripts, generation logs, and model API call records—is indispensable. This monitoring allows teams to quickly diagnose issues and provides invaluable feedback for continuous optimization and iterative improvements.

Overcoming Development Hurdles with NocoBase

Wasu Media’s journey to validate workflows rapidly while ensuring long-term scalability presented several formidable challenges:

• Explosive Asset Growth: The sheer volume of assets, ranging from initial text scripts to final image outputs, coupled with the management of diverse AI models and computing nodes, quickly led to chaotic situations.
• Persistent UI Bottlenecks: Each modification to the user interface demanded extensive front-end development, often resulting in delays spanning several days.
• Intense Iteration Pressure: Business units required new features on an almost daily basis, making any development slowdown a significant impediment to experimentation and validation efforts.

Prior to adopting NocoBase, the team experimented with other AIGC-focused application development tools. While these tools offered specialized vertical features, they often came with substantial coding requirements and steep learning curves, proving unsuitable for Wasu Media’s need for a rapid, iterative development cycle.

NocoBase: The Foundation for Rapid AI Innovation

Ultimately, Wasu Media’s R&D team selected NocoBase as the cornerstone of their new platform. Its no-code architecture proved transformative, liberating developers to concentrate on crucial data modeling and core business logic, eliminating the time-consuming burden of front-end development. For a team predominantly focused on back-end expertise, NocoBase enabled an exceptionally fast ramp-up and drastically compressed their development timeline.

With NocoBase, the team constructed their entire core platform in just 1-2 days—a process that previously would have necessitated dozens of API integrations and multiple front-end pages. Complex workflows replaced hundreds of lines of imperative logic with clear, visual automation. Back-end developers no longer needed to engage with front-end code, as NocoBase automatically generated the necessary interfaces. Intricate business logic was efficiently implemented through workflow configurations, visually transforming extensive if-else statements into intuitive flowcharts, complete with alerts at critical junctures.

Furthermore, the platform seamlessly integrated with their existing PostgreSQL database, ensuring data accessibility both within NocoBase and via external SQL queries or BI tools, thereby preserving their established data ecosystem.

In its operational capacity, NocoBase serves as the central infrastructure for Wasu Media’s AI multimodal R&D platform:

• As an AI scheduling and management hub, it centralizes the orchestration of various compute and model pipelines, effectively eradicating fragmented processes.
• For content generation, it provides robust support for large-scale image generation and management, simultaneously laying the groundwork for future multimodal expansions that truly bridge text, image, and other content types.

This strategic adoption of NocoBase not only dramatically shortened development cycles but also significantly enhanced the overall R&D experience. Team members lauded the platform’s user-friendliness and inherent scalability: “As back-end developers, we don’t have to worry about front-end interfaces anymore. NocoBase covers almost all of our business design needs. With workflows handling complex logic, the efficiency gains are remarkable,” shared a team member. Though still in its R&D phase, the platform is already deployed internally and delivering substantial value.

Outlook: A Future of Scalable AI Innovation

For Wasu Media, this achievement marks a pivotal beginning. By unifying AI workflows and data pipelines within a single, cohesive environment, they are firmly positioned for scalable, multimodal innovation—all powered by NocoBase. This success story powerfully illustrates how no-code solutions can dramatically accelerate even the most advanced AI research and development initiatives, paving the way for unprecedented efficiency and rapid progress in the media industry.
