HighField AI, a multi-modal, agentic AI solution purpose-built for broadcast newsrooms, has been integrated with CGI OpenMedia, a leading newsroom solution.

Developed for news teams, HighField AI automates time-consuming editorial production tasks such as sourcing graphics and populating news story templates. This integration reduces manual work by up to 75%, giving journalists more time to focus on storytelling while accelerating overall newsroom workflows.

Ofir Benovici, Co-founder of HighField AI, explained, “HighField AI was built with a clear mission — deliver practical tools that enhance, not upend, the way existing newsrooms operate. News teams are under constant pressure to move fast and deliver high-impact stories across multiple platforms. But the time lost to manual tasks like sourcing visuals or filling in graphics templates adds up quickly.

“By integrating directly with systems like CGI OpenMedia, HighField AI understands the editorial context of each story and automates much of the manual graphics preparation. This means journalists can stay focused on reporting, while Highfield AI handles the repetitive production work behind the scenes.”

CGI OpenMedia supports over 50,000 users worldwide, providing advanced capabilities across the entire news production workflow, from research and story planning to scripting, multi-platform publishing, and rundown management.

HighField AI analyses stories created in OpenMedia and deploys AI agents to automate time-consuming production tasks, including selecting relevant graphics, populating templates with context-aware text, visuals, and metadata, and assembling packages for editorial review. This reduces preparation time while allowing journalists to be in full control, with the ability to review and refine content.

Michael Pfitzner, Vice-President, Newsroom Solutions, CGI, added, “At CGI, our mission is to enable modern newsrooms with flexible, impactful solutions.

“HighField AI provides a layer of intelligent automation that aligns with OpenMedia’s open architecture and newsroom-AI philosophy. Together, we’re helping broadcasters meet the growing demands for efficiency.”
