STREAMLINING THE NEWS WITH AI Convit


BY KEVIN EMMOTT


Designed to further streamline media and editorial workfl ows, Convit has introduced new generative AI features to its Newsmind Stories multiplatform planning and publishing system at IBC.


Aimed at embedding generative AI into routine broadcast workfl ows, the updates range from automated Twitter post creation to article summarisation and fact checking. Another


feature is the ability to generate moderation scripts for audio content.


The company says its implementations take care of both prompting and compiling necessary data context in the background; teams can use generative AI for day-to-day tasks without having to switch applications and without having to become prompt engineers. This means less time spent wrestling with complex tools and more time focused on what really matters – producing quality, factual and engaging content.
