How media leaders can leverage Conversational AI to drive efficiency, streamline workflows, and engage audiences more effectively

The media industry is at a pivotal moment, companies are grappling with unprecedented complexity. From cataloging massive amounts of content to ensuring seamless localization and enhancing viewer engagement, the demands are relentless. Media leaders are realizing that keeping up with this complexity requires more than traditional management tools; it calls for an AI first approach, an AI agentic framework accessible via Conversational AI. This powerful technology enables a more intuitive, efficient way to manage and interact with content, simplifying workflows, and allowing media organizations to focus on their core mission: delivering captivating stories.

The challenges of content management and discovery in media

Managing content isn’t just about storage; it’s about making that content accessible, engaging, and adaptable. For media organizations, finding, organizing, and managing content is increasingly difficult using the current traditional, labor-intensive methods. Traditional systems often involve complicated filters, keyword limitations, and outdated search capabilities, which limit the ease with which content can be located and used. Content workflows can be expensive and require skilled specialists, slowing down the entire process. Moreover, consumer expectations are rising as they seek content that feels relevant and personalized to their interests. Yet, many platforms fall short of delivering the deep, meaningful content discovery experiences audiences now expect.

Why finding content in media enterprises is so difficult

• Most media asset management systems have legacy keyword search solutions with filters
• Feedback from customers has been poor on search experience
• Filters get way too complicated with more categories
• If you don’t know the right keywords, the chances of your finding the right content are low
• Different genres have different search needs

Handling content effectively too is a significant challenge

• Acting on content often involves tedious, time-intensive processes.
• Complex workflows demand expertise and can take significant time to implement.
• Modifying or scaling workflows comes with high costs, further straining resources.
• Tight deadlines add immense pressure on teams, leading to stress and burnout.

Challenges in media OTT app experiences

• Limited search depth: Searches in FAST (Free Ad-Supported TV) and Direct-to-Consumer (D2C) platforms often lack precision, leaving users frustrated.
• Compromised search experience: While recommendations are improving, users still struggle with shallow search functionality that doesn’t cater to specific needs.
• Inability to access desired clips: Users often need to sift through entire content pieces to find specific moments, leading to inefficiency and dissatisfaction.

How Conversational AI is transforming media workflows

In today’s media industry, Conversational AI agents enhance content discovery and operational efficiency. These AI systems help users navigate vast content libraries through natural language interactions, making it easier to find specific shows, scenes, or information about actors. By automating complex searches and managing content efficiently, conversational AI significantly improves user experience and engagement, leading to higher customer satisfaction and retention.

It simplifies media navigation, empowering users to explore assets effortlessly using straightforward, intuitive commands.

This functionality is invaluable across a range of operations and helps in:

1. Efficient content marketing

Archivists now have a powerful ally that reduces operational burdens while maintaining a leaner and greener content archive.

3. Enhanced sports personalization

In the sports industry, personalization is key. Conv AI can recommend real-time sports content based on individual viewer preferences, making the viewing experience more dynamic and personalized.

Fans can also get customized highlights of the opposing teams and the players they support as opposed to generic highlights.

4. Social media monetization at scale

Social media teams benefit from Conv AI’s ability to generate optimized, “snackable” content quickly. By suggesting ideal clip selections, relevant thumbnails, and engaging hashtags, Conv AI transforms the way media companies create and distribute content for social platforms.
