Build an AI‑Powered Audiobook Production Pipeline with Cloud Native CAP

This guide explains how to use Alibaba Cloud's Cloud Native Application Platform (CAP), Function Compute, and Baillian model service to create an end‑to‑end automated workflow that transforms text into audio, subtitles, images, and finally a compiled video audiobook.

Build an AI‑Powered Audiobook Production Pipeline with Cloud Native CAP

Solution Overview

Audio books are popular across education, entertainment, and media, but traditional production is labor‑intensive, time‑consuming, and requires specialized skills. The presented solution leverages Cloud Native Application Platform (CAP), Function Compute (FC), and the Baillian large‑model service to automate the entire pipeline—from script generation to voice synthesis, subtitle creation, image rendering, and video composition—allowing users to produce high‑quality audiobooks with minimal coding.

Technical Architecture

The architecture consists of the following cloud services:

CAP project hosting the web service and workflow engine.

Object Storage Service (OSS) bucket for storing images, audio, and video assets.

Baillian model service providing APIs for content generation, speech synthesis, and subtitle extraction.

Users interact with a web page that triggers a workflow; the workflow calls Baillian APIs, processes the results, and returns the final video to the user.

Deployment Procedure

Deploy the solution by using the provided CAP project template. Configure the following key parameters in the deployment form:

Project name – automatically generated.

Region – default to East China 1 (Hangzhou).

Baillian API‑KEY – obtain from the deployed resources.

OSS bucket name – select or create a bucket (e.g., ai-audiobook).

Roles and permissions for Function Compute to access OSS and invoke the workflow.

After filling the form, click Deploy Project , confirm the deployment, and authorize any additional permissions when prompted.

Verification and Video Generation

Once deployment succeeds, access the example application URL shown on the console. Use the built‑in demo to generate a video:

Open the example and click Use this example .

Click Generate Video ; the process typically finishes in 2–5 minutes.

View the resulting video, which combines generated narration, subtitles, and images.

These steps demonstrate the end‑to‑end automation from text input to final video output.

Conclusion

The solution showcases how cloud‑native services can dramatically reduce the effort and cost of producing AI‑driven audiobooks, enabling content creators, marketing teams, and enterprises to scale high‑quality video content quickly.
