About ZJT

ZJT (ZhiJuTong) is a self-hosted web app that makes short dramas with AI agents. A manager agent runs eight helpers to write the script, build characters and split shots. Video and audio come from outside APIs, so you'll need paid provider keys. The license bans multi-tenant hosting and removing the front-end logo.

Best for: Builders who want a self-hosted, agent-driven path from script to storyboard to video.

• Runs a PM agent plus 8 expert agents for script, characters, scenes and compliance
• Lets agents ask you to pick a creative direction with the ask_user tool
• Splits the script into 30-60 shot nodes and writes the storyboard prompts
• Builds 2x2 and 3x3 storyboard grids with a locked character look
• Arranges shots on an infinite canvas and previews them
• Gives each user their own compute account, with admin hot-updates
