Today we are rolling out a suite of new features leveraging AI specifically for the content creation side of the digital signage equation. Sourcing content for digital signage can be a challenge and often involves a combination of stock media, pre-defined template layouts, and design tools such as Canva. It can be difficult to craft an effective message especially when not having much experience in the design world. These new tools will go along ways towards overcoming those challenges by essentially building an entire layout based solely on your description of what you want. This includes not only the content zones such as weather, news, slideshow, etc. - but also the background graphics and color scheme matching the requested theme.

⚡ AI-Assisted Template Script Creation
Simplified Custom Template Functionality
Transform static displays into intelligent, responsive experiences with AI-generated scripts that react to real-time data, user interactions, and environmental conditions. Template scripting is generally reserved for special use-cases where low level access to the system and individual template elements are required. Now with AI assistance, you can simply describe the functionality you require and AI will generate the necessary scripting. While we still consider scripting a job for those with some technical background, this feature saves a tremendous amount of time when building out new functionality.
What You Can Create:
- "When the user clicks the Hot Spot, show the 2nd item in the slideshow"
- "Display the QR code zone only when the playlist is on the 3rd slide"
- "Refresh the web zone every 5 minutes, and also when the template is initialized"
- "When serial data is received, show the slide with tags corresponding to the serial data"
** Currently limited to our Android based players
Available Now
All three AI-powered features are free to use and are rolling out now. Note the template generation and scripting are only applicable for multi-zone templates which are not available on Basic service levels.
Ready to experience the future? These aren't just incremental improvements – they're fundamental changes in how digital signage content is created, managed, and optimized. We see tremendous potential for AI across the Revel Digital platform and are excited to unveil new capabilities as our technology advances and integrations become more refined.
