AI SCHEDULING

A month of programming, built from your library under your rules.

Set the dayparts, the genre mix and the repeat rules, pin the slots you place by hand, and generate the rest. Programme lengths are respected, repeats are spaced, ad breaks are placed and the guide is filled. Then edit it like any schedule.

How it works

From a library to a grid

Scheduling by hand is fine for a week. It is where a 24/7 channel dies in month three. The generator does the tedious part and leaves the judgement to you. The grid it writes into has its own page.

  1. Set the dayparts and the rules

    Breakfast, daytime, prime, overnight, or whatever your audience keeps. Give each daypart a genre mix and a repeat policy, and set how long a break may be and how often one may come.

  2. Pin the fixed slots

    The Sunday service, the Friday match, the sponsored hour. Anything placed by hand stays exactly where it is; the generator works around it.

  3. Generate the range

    A week, a month, a quarter. Every slot becomes a real programme from the library, lengths respected, repeats spaced, series in order, breaks placed, guide filled.

  4. Edit it like any schedule

    The output is an ordinary grid. Drag a film to a better night, swap an episode, overwrite a block, and regenerate only the part you changed.

What it keeps

The rules a programmer keeps in their head.

On the FAST plan and above. Launch keeps recurring blocks and auto-fill from the library.

Rules

Your rules, applied at scale

No repeat within N hours, series in order, films no sooner than a month, kids content only in the afternoon block. Rules that are easy to state and tedious to keep by hand are kept for you.

Balance

Genre balance per daypart

Say the evening is half drama and a quarter music, and the generator holds the ratio across the range instead of front-loading the good titles into week one.

Holes

No gaps, no filler surprises

Every minute is scheduled. Where a slot cannot be filled under the rules, the generator says so and offers the nearest fit, instead of dropping in a loop without telling you.

Breaks

Breaks where the programme allows

Markers on a file are honoured; programmes without markers get breaks at scene boundaries under the pod rules. Same SCTE-35 cues, same server-side insertion.

Guide

The guide writes itself

Titles, synopses, ratings, episode numbers and artwork flow from library metadata, including tags applied at upload, into XMLTV, JSON and the web guide.

Control

Generate, review, publish

Nothing airs until you publish. Review the range, change what you like, regenerate a day or a week, and publish when it reads right.

The engine underneath

The generator writes an ordinary schedule for the same cloud playout that runs the channel: graphics, cues, guide and delivery included.

Questions

AI scheduling, answered.

What does AI scheduling actually do?

It builds the grid. You pick the date range, the dayparts, the genre mix and the rules, and it fills the schedule from your library: every slot a real programme, lengths respected, nothing repeated within the window you set, ad breaks placed at natural points, and the programme guide filled from the metadata on each file. The result is an ordinary schedule you can drag, swap and overwrite.

Will it repeat the same show all day?

Not unless you tell it to. Repeat spacing is a rule: a programme cannot air again within N hours or days, a series plays episodes in order, a film returns no sooner than the window you set. Filler and loops are marked as such and used only where you allow them.

Can I keep my own dayparts?

Yes. Dayparts are yours: the breakfast block, the afternoon films, the evening bulletin, the overnight repeats. Each daypart has a genre mix and a repeat policy, and the generator fills within them rather than inventing a grid of its own.

What about live events and fixed slots?

Pin them first. A live block, a weekly service, a sponsored hour, or anything you have placed by hand stays where it is, and the generator schedules around it and fills the holes it leaves.

Where do the ad breaks go?

Where the programme allows them. Break markers on a file are respected, programmes without markers get breaks placed at scene boundaries within the pod length and frequency you set, and the cues are the same SCTE-35 signalling every other break carries.

Does it write the guide too?

Yes. Titles, synopses, ratings, episode numbers and artwork come from the library metadata, including tags applied at upload, so the programme guide is complete the moment the grid is.
