“AI has d amatically lowe ed the ba ie to buildi g ew applicatio s, but buildi g a applicatio is ve y diffe e t f om u i g a eliable media ope atio ,” said Cha lie Du , Executive Vice P eside t, P oducts, Telest eam. “With UP, we’ e tu i g decades of Telest eam media expe tise i to buildi g blocks custome s ca use to move faste without havi g to ec eate the u de lyi g media i f ast uctu e themselves.

Today, that app oach is al eady taki g shape ac oss live media ope atio s.

Telest eam is expa di g those buildi g blocks to i clude additio al capabilities ac oss quality co t ol, t a scodi g, media i tellige ce, a d AI-powe ed co te t u de sta di g.
Custome s also choose how they i te act with them. Use s ca wo k di ectly withi Telest eam applicatio s o access capabilities th ough APIs a d i co po ate them i to thei existi g ope atio s.

“AI ca help a team p ototype somethi g ew i c edibly quickly.

The goal is ot to tu eve y actio i to a AI-automated wo kflow; i stead, AI becomes a othe capability o ga izatio s ca apply whe e it delive s ope atio al value.

This gives o ga izatio s the flexibility to explo e eme gi g age tic wo kflows without aba do i g the p ove media tech ology behi d them.
