AI Platform Engineering

AI for Media Platforms

AI inside the media platform you already run, from discovery to archive.

We engineer AI into the media platform you already run: recommendations that open up the whole catalogue, tagging and archive search by what is said or shown, and subtitles, summaries and clips that wait for an editor before they publish.

Inside your platform, under your control

Each feature is wired into the asset management, publishing and playback systems you already run, and every release is tested against your own titles before a viewer sees it.

Search by what is said or shown

A viewer's or an editor's sentence finds the moment in the catalogue or the archive, from the transcript, the people your team has named and what is on screen.

Viewer assistant

Answers from your catalogue, metadata and subtitles, and only offers what a viewer can watch where they are.

Clips your editors approve

Summaries, chapters, clips and subtitles are drafted from the episode and wait for an editor before they publish.

Every release tested first

Ranking, tagging and subtitle changes are checked against your own titles before viewers see them, and the last good release is one step back.

What we engineer into a media platform

The pieces we build most often. Each one connects to your catalogue, asset library, rights records and player, and each one is judged on your own titles.

  • Recommendation engine and discovery

    Rows, rails and “because you watched” shelves built from viewing behaviour and catalogue metadata, balancing new releases with the back catalogue, under rules your programming team can read and override.

  • Personalised home pages

    Home screens, row order and artwork that adapt to each viewer, device and time of day, inside the editorial slots, promotions and availability windows your team controls.

  • Automatic tagging and metadata

    Scenes, people, objects, topics, mood and spoken keywords tagged from the picture, sound and script, written into your own metadata schema and checked by your librarians where it matters.

  • Archive search

    Search footage, audio and print across the whole archive by what is said or shown: a quote, a person your team has named, a place or a scene, landing on the moment rather than the file.

  • Summaries, chapters and clips

    Synopses, chapter markers, highlight clips and social cut-downs drafted from the episode in your house style, waiting in an editor's queue rather than going straight out.

  • Subtitles, translation and dubbing

    Transcripts, subtitles and translated tracks timed to the cut, with synthetic voices only where the talent and the contract allow, and a linguist or editor reviewing every language before it goes live.

  • Content moderation for uploads and comments

    Uploads, thumbnails, live chat and comments screened against your community rules. Clear cases are handled as they arrive; borderline ones go to a moderator with the reason shown.

  • Rights and compliance checks

    Territory, window, music and talent clearances checked against your rights records before anything publishes, with age ratings and advertiser-safety signals, so a clip or a dubbed track that is not cleared is held.

  • Assistants for viewers and editors

    A viewer assistant that answers “what was that film where…” from your catalogue, and an editorial copilot over your archive, style guide and rights records, with every source one click away.

Answer engines

When an assistant summarises your catalogue

AI assistants and answer engines now reply to “what should I watch tonight?” with a summary rather than a list of links. What they say about your titles depends on what they can read, and on what you let them quote.

We make a catalogue legible on your terms: structured metadata and schema for every title, clear licensing signals, an MCP server over the catalogue and its availability, and the rules that decide what an assistant may quote, summarise or link.

How we build AI agents

From one feature to a platform

Most media platforms start with one feature on one service or one desk. We build it inside your stack, prove it on your catalogue and hand it to your team.

  1. 01

    Scope

    A short readiness sprint in your catalogue, metadata, viewing data and rights records to choose the first feature and agree how it will be judged.

  2. 02

    Build

    Engineers work in your repositories and your cloud, wiring the feature into the asset management, publishing and playback systems you already run.

  3. 03

    Prove

    We test on your own titles and archive before launch, then release to a share of viewers or to one editorial desk and watch the measures you chose, with a rollback ready.

  4. 04

    Hand over

    Runbooks, dashboards and a trained team. You own the code, the prompts, the tag schema and the evaluation set; we can stay on to run it if you want.

Frequently asked questions

Do we have to change our video platform or asset management to add AI?

No. We build on the stack you run, from asset and content management to transcoding and the player, through their APIs and in your own cloud. Each feature ships as a service your platform calls.

Which feature should we start with?

Usually the one closest to viewing or editorial work and easiest to measure: recommendations, archive search or automatic tagging. The readiness sprint compares candidates on your own catalogue and picks one with a clear way to judge it.

Can our editors still shape what viewers see?

Yes. Editorial slots, pinned titles, promotions and blocked pairings sit above the ranking, and every rule is written so the team that owns it can read and change it.

Will generated subtitles, summaries or clips go out without a person checking?

Not unless you decide they should. By default every generated summary, clip, subtitle file and dubbed track waits in an editor's queue with its source and timecode beside it, and nothing publishes until a person approves it.

How do you handle rights, voices and likeness?

Rights checks run before anything publishes, against your territory, window, music and talent records. Synthetic voices and dubbing are used only where the talent and the contract allow it, and every generated asset is labelled and logged.

Who owns the models, tags and data?

You do. The code, prompts, tag schema, evaluation sets and any fine-tuned weights are yours, in your repositories and your cloud. We build on open or hosted base models you approve.
