ZANUS AI FOR BROADCASTING & MEDIA — BACK OFFICE

The newsroom runs on deadlines.
The archive now keeps up.

Rundowns, scripts, archive pulls, rights checks, metadata: production is documentation moving at air speed. The Zanus back office turns your content library into a working AI staff — researching, drafting and answering with the source clip cited, under your producers’ sign-off.

AI work session compiling archive research with citations

A real session: archive research compiled — clips found, timestamps cited, producer decides.

What it does

Archive research at machine speed

“Every time we covered the bridge project since 2015” — compiled with clips, transcripts and timestamps while the producer builds the rundown.

Scripts and digests, drafted

Story summaries, web rewrites of broadcast packages, newsletter digests and promo copy drafted from your own content — in your style, awaiting the editor.

Sign-off stays editorial

Every AI-drafted script and summary lands in Output awaiting review. Nothing airs, posts or publishes without a human editorial decision.

Finding the exact quote in 20 years of footage

The mayor said something about the stadium financing — in 2011 or 2012, at some press conference. Type the question; the AI returns the matching moments across the archive, each with a click-to-play timestamp. The clip is in the editor by the time the old workflow would have found the right tape.

Production documents drafted in station templates

The paperwork of production — drafted

The documents that eat producer evenings: rundown research packets, web versions of broadcast stories, episode metadata, coverage summaries for the news director. Drafted in minutes, from your own content, in your templates.

Your style and templates
Source clips cited in every draft
Approval workflow before anything publishes

Media software is priced by storage tier and edit seat, and archive search still means metadata fields someone typed in 2009 — while the producer needs the exact quote before the 6 PM rundown locks. Zanus AI: the content itself transcribed and searchable to the second, click-to-play timestamps from every search result, unlimited users — and the archive stays in YOUR tenant, training nobody else’s model.

Questions, answered

Does the AI write our journalism?

It drafts and researches from YOUR content — summaries, rewrites, metadata, archive pulls. Editorial judgment, verification and the decision to publish stay with your journalists.

Does it connect to our media asset manager?

API connectors integrate with existing systems; media and metadata flow through the intake pipeline under your handling rules. Bring your MAM to the demo and we map it.
