Let your AI agent handle live console operations, cue timing, and segment logging—so you can focus on creating a flawless broadcast without worrying about technical slips.

You spend hours juggling sources in Wheatstone or Axia, balancing levels in Pro Tools, and tracking ad breaks in Google Sheets. As a radio producer, every manual step risks dead air or missed cues. One mistake means compliance issues, lost revenue, and a stressful show.

An AI agent that automates source switching, cue management, level balancing, and segment logging for radio producers using digital consoles.

The hidden cost

What this is really costing you

In media and entertainment, radio producers waste time manually switching audio sources on Wheatstone consoles, balancing microphones in Pro Tools, and logging segments in Excel. Managing ad breaks and cues with email reminders or shared drives is error-prone. The constant multitasking drains focus and increases the risk of on-air mistakes.
