Amagi Media Labs launched two agentic AI products this week ahead of NAB Show 2026. Agentic Media Operations, announced April 9 through a SEBI regulatory filing, adds AI agents across the company’s Amagi NOW cloud platform. Newspulse, announced April 7, is a standalone agentic platform that watches live news broadcasts and autonomously packages stories into social-ready clips, vertical videos, and news bulletins.
Amagi manages 9,000+ channel deliveries across 300+ distributors in 40+ countries, making this one of the largest vertical-specific agent deployments outside IT and software engineering.
Agentic Media Operations on Amagi NOW
The Amagi NOW expansion automates four labor-intensive areas of the media supply chain. Metadata enrichment auto-generates deep metadata and EPG-compliant descriptions in 25+ languages. Artwork generation creates platform-compliant posters with subject-aware cropping for mobile formats. Ad-break identification analyzes video context to position ads at optimal points. Localization produces closed captions in 29+ languages and translates to 100+ languages.
“Our customers don’t need another standalone AI tool; they need their existing workflows to be intelligent,” said Srividhya Srinivasan, Co-founder and CTO at Amagi, in the company’s press release. “We are enabling a low-touch, high-scale operating model where AI agents handle the heavy lifting of media preparation, so customers can scale without a linear increase in cost.”
Newspulse for Newsrooms
Newspulse targets a specific problem: 93% of young adults (ages 18-29) get their news via digital devices and 76% rely on social media for news, according to Pew Research Center data cited by Amagi. Newsrooms need to repurpose broadcast content for these platforms but most still stitch together fragmented point solutions, inflating costs and burning out editorial teams.
The platform scans live feeds in real time, identifies individual story segments, dynamically tracks on-screen subjects and graphics to reframe video into multiple aspect ratios (16:9, 9:16, 4:5, 1:1), generates platform-specific captions, and publishes directly to digital endpoints. SVG Europe reported that Newspulse is currently in limited availability testing with select newsroom partners, with general availability expected in June 2026.
The product uses what Amagi calls “policy-driven Agentic AI,” where newsrooms define brand voice, stylistic rules, and content priorities. The agents operate within those guardrails, with human-in-the-loop checkpoints for editorial control.
Broadcast Joins the Agentic Trend
Amagi’s announcement arrives in the same week as Cuez’s open AI agent framework for broadcast newsroom automation, also unveiled at NAB Show 2026. Broadcast and media operations represent an expanding frontier for agent deployment beyond the dominant IT, HR, and software engineering use cases. The common pattern across these vertical deployments: agents handling high-volume, repetitive content operations that previously required proportional headcount increases.
Amagi will demonstrate both products at NAB Show 2026, Booth #W2331.
