ZANUS AI FOR BROADCASTING & MEDIA — OVERVIEW
Twenty years of footage, transcribed and searchable to the second — click a result and it plays at the exact moment. Scripts, summaries and metadata drafted from your own content. One AI system for the audience side and the newsroom side — isolated in YOUR private tenant, or on servers the station owns.
Private tenant or your own servers · unlimited users · your archive stays yours

A real deployment view: archive libraries, scheduled AI works, the day’s production drafts in progress.
Every hour of footage transcribed and indexed — search by what was SAID, not by what someone remembered to tag, and jump straight to the second with click-to-play timestamps.
Summaries, script drafts, metadata and rundown research compiled from your own content — reviewed by producers before anything airs.
Your tenant is isolated; decades of your content train nobody else’s model. Need more? The same OS runs on hardware you own, inside your building.
Advertiser inquiries, audience calls, coverage requests and press contacts: the Zanus front office answers every ring on your menu, in the caller’s language, books meetings into real calendars and answers from your approved information — 24/7, in up to 40 languages.


The producer asks “when did the mayor say that about the stadium?” and gets the clip, the transcript and the timestamp — in seconds, not an afternoon of scrubbing. Scripts, digests and archive research become scheduled AI work with citations.
Stations and studios with rights-sensitive libraries run the identical OS on Zanus hardware inside their own facility: air-gap capable, USB updates, unlimited users — the archive physically incapable of leaving.

Your media is ingested and transcribed; the transcripts are indexed to the second. Search in plain language, get the matching moments with click-to-play timestamp markers — the result opens at the exact point in the recording.
Never. Your tenant is isolated; decades of your footage, scripts and rights documents are yours alone — and the on-premises option keeps them physically inside your building.
Yes: one tenant with workgroups per station, or separate tenants on shared infrastructure. News, sales and engineering each see exactly what their role allows.
ZANUS AI FOR BROADCASTING & MEDIA — FRONT OFFICE
The sales line rings during the newscast, the audience calls after it, and the press inquiry lands at 9 PM. The Zanus front office answers on your menu, in your voices, qualifies, books and follows up — 24/7, in up to 40 languages.
Private tenant or your own servers · unlimited users · your archive stays yours

Calls, chats, bookings and follow-ups — one dashboard the sales manager can read.
A local business owner calls about airtime after closing their shop. The AI answers in one ring, qualifies the inquiry, books the meeting with the account executive, and sends the media kit.
Program schedules, contest rules, how to submit a story tip, where to find the stream: answered instantly and identically every time, from YOUR approved information.
Event organizers and PR contacts reach a voice that takes the details, logs the transcript and routes the request to the assignment desk — nothing lost on voicemail.
The AI answers, checks what the advertiser wants to reach, offers real open slots on the account executive’s calendar, books the meeting and sends the follow-up — while your sales team works the pipeline instead of the switchboard.


Website chat that answers like your best front-desk producer, web forms for coverage requests and advertising inquiries worked in minutes, and instant responses to every message — lead-to-meeting in minutes, not voicemail days.
It answers every line simultaneously — no busy signal — with your approved public information, and routes tips and urgent matters to staff by your rules.
Yes. Your station and sales numbers stay; calls route to the AI first, staff first, or any mix per line and per hour.
Anything editorial — interview requests, source calls, corrections — is escalated to your newsroom by your rules. The AI takes the details; your journalists make the calls.
ZANUS AI FOR BROADCASTING & MEDIA — BACK OFFICE
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.
Private tenant or your own servers · unlimited users · your archive stays yours

A real session: archive research compiled — clips found, timestamps cited, producer decides.
“Every time we covered the bridge project since 2015” — compiled with clips, transcripts and timestamps while the producer builds the rundown.
Story summaries, web rewrites of broadcast packages, newsletter digests and promo copy drafted from your own content — in your style, awaiting the editor.
Every AI-drafted script and summary lands in Output awaiting review. Nothing airs, posts or publishes without a human editorial decision.
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.


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

ZANUS AI FOR BROADCASTING & MEDIA — ARCHIVE & FOOTAGE
Footage archives, transcripts, scripts, rundowns, rights and licensing documents — loaded into curated libraries the AI reads from. Ask in plain language; get the answer with the source cited — and for footage, a timestamp that plays the exact moment.
Private tenant or your own servers · unlimited users · your archive stays yours

Libraries: aired versions outrank rough cuts, current rights terms outrank expired ones — you set the order.
Video, audio, scripts, scanned rights contracts and production paperwork — the ingestion pipeline turns what the station actually holds into queryable knowledge.
No source in your library, no claim: the AI cites the clip, the transcript, the contract — or says it cannot answer. Built for work that gets fact-checked.
The intern researching a story and the business manager checking a licensing term each get answers scoped to their role, enforced server-side.
“What did the coach say after the 2014 championship?” “Which stories mentioned the refinery?” “What are the terms on the stock-footage license?” The archive answers in seconds, with clips at the exact second and documents attached — instead of an afternoon in the tape library.

Through the ingestion pipeline: digitized media is transcribed and indexed on intake. High-volume backfiles are exactly what the On-Prem Tokens Server is built for — ask about it at the demo.
Never. Your tenant is isolated; your footage and scripts are yours alone — and the on-premises option keeps the archive physically inside your building.
ZANUS AI FOR BROADCASTING & MEDIA — AI WORKFORCE
Assign work to the AI the way you assign it to staff: type, sources, deadline, priority. The morning rundown research packet, the weekly archive digest, the monthly rights review — executed on schedule, with citations, under review.
Private tenant or your own servers · unlimited users · your archive stays yours

Four steps: work type, media and libraries, tags, schedule — the AI takes it from there.
Archive pull, script draft, metadata pass, rights review: work types molded to your operation, with default libraries and examples per type.
The AI’s workload is managed like the team’s: one-click views show what is urgent, late, today and tomorrow — nothing slips silently before air.
Every work is a full session: reasoning streamed, sources cited to the clip and second, milestones tracked, linked to the story and the calendar.
Set “Daily Rundown Research” once: every morning the AI compiles what the archive holds on the day’s planned stories — prior coverage, key quotes with timestamps, background — and files the packet before the morning editorial meeting.

Yes — open any session, read the reasoning, redirect it, or stop it. The AI works like staff: visible, accountable, interruptible.
It does not get tired: the constraint is your review capacity, not the AI’s. High-volume archives graduate to the On-Prem Tokens Server.
ZANUS AI FOR BROADCASTING & MEDIA — STANDARDS & PRACTICES
Standards only work when the newsroom can find them — at 11:48 PM, twelve minutes before the late newscast. In Zanus, editorial standards, style guides and operating procedures are living documents: answerable in chat, attached to work, priority-ordered so the current version always wins.
Private tenant or your own servers · unlimited users · your archive stays yours

Standards upkeep, scheduled like production work: annual reviews and policy updates on the calendar.
Editorial standards, on-air style, corrections policy, ingest and naming procedures: one library, current versions on top, superseded drafts outranked.
“What is our policy on airing 911 audio?” — answered in seconds with the document attached, to the overnight producer as reliably as to the news director.
Work types carry their default standards: the AI drafting a web rewrite reads from the style guide — by construction.
Annual standards reviews, expiration checks on licensing agreements, update summaries for the editorial meeting: assign them once as recurring AI work and the binder never goes stale again.

Upload the new version, set it on top: from that moment every answer and every AI work cites the new standard. Old versions remain archived for audit.
ZANUS AI FOR BROADCASTING & MEDIA — TEAM TRAINING
Producers move markets, editors rotate shifts, the new AE starts Monday — and the workflow knowledge usually leaves with the veterans. New hires learn your workflows from the AI, and every shift has an assistant that answers “how do we…?” instantly.
Private tenant or your own servers · unlimited users · your archive stays yours

Training lives inside the software: the AI walks each new hire through the station’s own workflows.
New producers and account executives learn your rundown conventions, naming rules, systems and policies through guided training — productive in days, not a ratings period.
“How do I file a corrections request?” — asked to the assistant at 2 AM, answered from the standards guide, without waking the news director.
Private chats work on any device with a login — the how-to knowledge follows the crew to the control room, the edit bay or the live truck.

The tenth “how do I request archive footage?” gets the same patient, sourced answer as the first. Training material stays current automatically, because the assistant reads from the same living libraries as everything else.
No — the assistant answers from the live libraries. Update the workflow document once and every future answer updates with it.
ZANUS AI FOR BROADCASTING & MEDIA — AUTOMATIONS
Describe the job in plain words — “when new footage lands, transcribe it, draft the metadata and file it to the right library” — and it becomes connected blocks on a canvas, running on its own, with every run visible.
Private tenant or your own servers · unlimited users · your archive stays yours

A real flow: ingest trigger, archive sources, AI compile, outputs — drawn from a description.
New media arrives: transcribed, metadata drafted, filed to the right library with the naming convention applied — searchable to the second by the time the editor sits down.
The morning coverage digest, the weekly web-performance summary for the news director: compiled by the AI, filed to Output, on time every time.
A sales inquiry with no response in three days triggers the follow-up draft — in the advertiser’s language, queued for the AE’s approval.
Run states live on the flow: green success, red failure on the exact block. When the morning packet feeds the editorial meeting, silent failures are not acceptable — here, nothing fails silently.

Your rules: everything editorial queues for human approval. Auto-run is for internal work — transcription, filing, digests — not for anything that airs or posts.
ZANUS AI FOR BROADCASTING & MEDIA — AUDIENCE ENGAGEMENT
Audience newsletters, program promotions, event announcements, advertiser communications — drafted by the AI from your own content and records, queued for your approval. A promotions department’s output, whatever the department’s size.
Private tenant or your own servers · unlimited users · your archive stays yours

Campaigns and sequences drafted from your content — newsletters, promos, advertiser notes — awaiting approval.
The daily headlines digest and the weekly program guide drafted from what actually aired — in your voice, with links, awaiting the editor’s approval.
Newsletter subscribers, contest entrants, event attendees, advertiser contacts: audiences built from your own categories — no exporting lists to a third-party tool.
Opt-outs and contact preferences are enforced by the system, not by memory. Every send is on the record.
The audience data, the content and the sending all live in the same system as your archive — nothing leaves your tenant to reach a mailing platform. “Send the anniversary retrospective to the full newsletter list” becomes a drafted, scheduled campaign in minutes.


Every outbound communication lands in the approval queue unless you designate the category as auto-send. The station stays in control of every word that carries its call letters.
It can draft the promotion from your schedule and content the moment the rundown is set — and your rules decide whether it auto-sends or waits for the promotions manager’s click.
No. Audiences, content and sending happen inside your tenant — subscriber and advertiser data never travels to an outside marketing platform.
ZANUS AI FOR BROADCASTING & MEDIA — MAM & INTEGRATIONS
Your media asset manager stays the system of record. Zanus becomes the system of work: API connectors sync media, metadata and documents both ways, the intake pipeline transcribes and files what arrives, and AI-drafted metadata flows back where it belongs. No rip and replace.
Private tenant or your own servers · unlimited users · your archive stays yours

No rip and replace: the MAM, traffic and newsroom systems stay — the AI layer connects to all of them.
Assets, metadata and rights fields mapped field by field, with a dry-run preview before anything writes — push, pull or two-way, your choice.
Advertiser records, orders and rate documents route through the intake pipeline — and the AI can draft the follow-ups and the availabilities summary.
A full API for whatever else the station runs: newsroom systems, playout, web CMS — data in, results out, under scoped keys.
The asset lives in the MAM, the order in traffic, the rights terms in the contract library — and the AI reads across all of it. “Can we re-air this piece, and is the slot sold?” becomes one question with one grounded answer.


The transcript the AI produced, the metadata pass, the rights summary: finished work returns to the asset record in your MAM through the same connectors — reviewed by your archivist first.
Connectors are mapped per deployment — bring your MAM to the demo and we walk through the exact integration path for your system.
No. The connectors run inside your tenant — or inside your building on the on-premises option. Media moves directly between your systems.
ZANUS AI FOR BROADCASTING & MEDIA — RIGHTS & CUSTODY
Decades of footage, licensing contracts, talent agreements, unaired material: a media library is an asset and a liability at once. The answer is architecture: permissions to the field level, server-side redaction, a searchable audit trail, and an on-premises option where the archive never touches the internet.
Private tenant or your own servers · unlimited users · your archive stays yours

One record per user: role, tags, and granular permissions over every domain of the system.
The server redacts what a role cannot see — the intern searching the archive sees the aired material their role allows, not the unaired rushes or the talent contracts.
A searchable log of every audited action, with configurable categories: who pulled what clip, who changed what metadata, when.
Five-level workgroups map stations and departments; the on-premises option puts the whole system — archive included — inside your building, air-gap capable.
When the question comes — from a licensor, a lawyer or your own business office — the answer is a search away: the contract, the usage history, the access records, all in one place. Automatic pre-update snapshots mean even a mistaken change can be rolled back.

In your isolated tenant — never training outside models — or fully on-premises on hardware the station owns, physically incapable of internet exposure.
Libraries carry handling rules and permissions to the field level, so restricted material only surfaces to authorized roles. Your rights workflow specifics are reviewed during onboarding — bring your business-affairs lead to the demo.
