Yunqi Capital | "Creao AI" Closes Two Consecutive Rounds of Tens of Millions of Dollars in Funding, with Yunqi Capital as Sole Angel Round Investor

Recently, Creao AI, a startup dedicated to building an Agentic OS (AOS), announced two consecutive funding rounds. The first was a multi-million-dollar angel round led exclusively by Yunqi Capital, followed by a tens-of-millions-of-dollars Pre-A round led by Monolith, with participation from GL Ventures, HongShan, Hua Capital, and other VC firms — with Yunqi Capital continuing to invest.

"Agents as systems don't exist in isolation. They require the stable operation of an entire system. This depends on building the complete environment that agents inhabit, and the continuous iteration and improvement of that environment itself," Kai Cheng, founder and CEO of Creao AI, once analyzed on the Yunqi podcast.

Creao AI's mission is to build the infrastructure that enables agent systems to run stably. In this edition, Yunqi Capital brings you the details.

"The paradigm shift for AI agents doesn't lie in single-point intelligence, but in system-level coordination. Creao AI's proposed Agentic OS (AOS) builds an operating hub from 'generation' to 'scheduling,' from 'usage' to 'evolution,' dramatically lowering the barrier for users to build and manage intelligent systems. We believe that the next generation of productivity tools won't come from stacking more model capabilities, but from reconstructing how collaboration works. Creao AI is providing the foundation for this — building an operating system that anyone can use and where intelligence co-creates."

Founded in late 2024 and headquartered in Silicon Valley, Creao AI is a startup dedicated to building Agentic OS (AOS). Its core founding team comes from top global tech companies including Meta's Llama AI team, Apple, LinkedIn, TikTok, Emplifi, MiniMax, Alibaba, and Lark.

In the Gen-AI era, the software industry is undergoing a paradigm shift in creation workflows and collaborative interaction. Yet the vast majority of current AI tools remain stuck at single stages like "code assistance" or "UI generation," failing to reach the core of software creation and collaboration. A new ecosystem built from countless agents, operating with high efficiency and coordination, is emerging. Creao AI's Agentic OS (AOS) aims to break through the real bottleneck — enabling creators without technical backgrounds to fully build Agentic Apps, and enabling these Agentic Apps to achieve networked coordination.

Agentic OS (AOS) completely breaks free from the old framework of "assisted coding," allowing any ordinary user to generate and deploy a fully functional, full-stack Agentic App — complete with frontend, backend, database, and core agent — through a single simple conversation.

Creating apps is only the beginning. Creao AI's disruptive value lies in the new paradigm of agent coordination that its Agentic OS (AOS) unlocks:

1. From "generating code" to "intelligently crafting applications": Creao AI doesn't provide code snippets or UI wireframes — it delivers a complete, immediately usable application. The moment a user presents an idea, AOS automatically completes the synchronized construction and deployment of the frontend interface, backend database architecture, server logic, and even the core Creao Agent.

2. From "isolated applications" to "collaborative ecosystem": This is the fundamental difference between Creao AI and all "app generators." AOS doesn't just create applications — it connects these independent Agentic Apps into a coordinated network. Users can easily define cross-application workflows, enabling different agents to autonomously communicate and collaborate to complete complex tasks that previously required multiple software tools and manual operations.

3. From "passive usage" to "active evolution": Each Creao Agent embedded within an application is an AI companion tailored for the user. Supported by AOS, it learns through continuous interaction with users and other agents, constantly evolving to truly achieve proactive coordination.

Kai Cheng, founder and CEO of Creao AI, stated: "Future productivity won't depend on how many tools you use, but on how many agents you can coordinate to work for you. To achieve this, the world needs a new hub — a true Agentic OS (AOS). It is not only the 'intelligent manufacturing plant' for a new generation of software, but also the 'joint command center' that directs all agents to coordinate their operations. Through this AOS, countless independent Agentic Apps can be orchestrated and scheduled, forming a powerful productivity network. Creao AI's mission is to build this infrastructure, so that every person with an idea can become a creator of the digital world."
