SeedLeap develops generative AI consumer products that turn natural language prompts into interactive experiences.The company's flagship product, Loopit, launched in February 2026, is a mobile platform thatlets anyone describe an idea and instantly generate a "playable" — a tiny interactive mini-game, meme, ASMR toy, or simulation that responds to taps, swipes, tilts, and voice input. Users can play, share, and remix playables in a TikTok-style feed. Loopit reached 1.44 million monthly active users within two months of launch.SeedLeap is led by founder and CEO Chen Weipeng, a veteran AI executive previously serving as R&D General Manager at Sogou Search, VP of AIGC at Soul, and co-founder and head of the large model team at Baichuan Intelligence (where he led development of Baichuan 1 through Baichuan 4).In April 2026, SeedLeap completed a $50 million funding round led by Garena (Sea Limited), bringing total funding to approximately $100 million across three rounds. The company's product gained early traction when an X post showcasing a Loopit playable was reposted by Elon Musk in February 2026.SeedLeap positions Loopit as the next layer of social content — a shift from passive video consumption (TikTok, Instagram Reels) to interactive, AI-generated content the user can play with.
