nxtedition has introduced XR studio control, AI Agents and AI Commands, designed to enhance story-based production environments. Broadcasters, particularly news organizations, are seeking ways to improve capabilities while integrating AI ethically and cost-effectively. nxtedition’s approach leverages open-source AI services, integrating with OpenAI Whisper and Meta’s open-source Llama 3 large language model at no additional processing cost. This enables semantic natural language search, making searches more intuitive and efficient.

By incorporating multiple open-source AI models, nxtedition has developed AI Agents that operate in the background. These agents can automatically generate content titles and descriptions for social media posts derived from news stories or video transcriptions. Editors can use them to suggest new story angles, fact-check material and adapt content for different audiences. Because these capabilities run within the nxtedition software environment, no additional hardware, cloud services or third-party AI costs are required, allowing AI tools to process all content without financial constraints.

nxtedition is a production platform that supports resolutions up to 4K and HDR. It includes newsroom functionality and fast-turnaround editing, with seamless integration into DaVinci Resolve and API access for other editing platforms. Its open API allows for easy integration with third-party software, including MapCreator for dynamic HTML maps and the Melodie production music library service.
