For broadcast & media production teams

Stop coordinating.
Start collaborating.

The AI layer that connects every tool in your media pipeline. Describe the outcome in plain English — Cyan runs it across your tools and keeps a human at every gate.

The cost of the gaps

Your pipeline lives in a dozen tools.
None of them talk to each other.

Final Draft

Script goes to a blue revision. The breakdown's still on white.

Avid / Resolve

Editor locks v6. The rest of the team finds out hours later.

Frame.io

Review notes pile up. None of them become tasks.

ShotGrid

VFX tasks reconciled against the new cut — by hand, every day.

Every phase boundary is a human shuttling files and metadata. 30–40% of operator hours go to coordination instead of craft — at ~$40K an operator, a 50-person shop loses around $2M a year in the gaps between tools.
End to end

One workflow engine.
Every phase of production.

Most platforms own a single slice. Cyan spans the whole chain — and closes the handoffs between phases, where the hours actually bleed.

Phase 01
Pre-production
Final Draft · Movie Magic · EP

Script revisions, breakdowns, schedules, call sheets and cast holds — kept in sync as the plan changes.

Phase 02
Production
Silverstack · ShotGrid · on-set

Dailies, DIT logs and continuity reconciled against what was actually shot.

Phase 03
Post-production
Avid · Resolve · Frame.io · ShotGrid

Editorial, review notes, VFX tasks, compliance and delivery — one connected flow.

The status quo is a different platform for every phase, stitched together by people. Cyan is the connective layer that runs across all three.
The moat · plug-in marketplace

Every tool you use —
and the ones you'll build.

Cyan speaks MCP, so any tool with an API becomes a plug-in your workflows can call. Install integrations and proprietary models like apps — or publish your own.

Code-gen

Plug-ins from an API spec

The engine that writes the integration. 5 weeks and $30–50K of engineer time per connector becomes ~4 hours — generated, not hand-built.

Install & go

Proprietary models as plug-ins

A studio's custom QC, compliance or transcription model becomes a plug-in any team can install — no in-house ML team required.

Compounds

Build once, publish, earn

Builders ship plug-ins, teams install them, the catalog deepens — the industry's media workflows in one place.

Why it compounds: the operational seams we encode, a marketplace that grows with every plug-in, and code-gen that makes the next plug-in nearly free. The catalog gets deeper — the moat gets wider.
From intent to pipeline

Organized the way your team works.

A board is your team's sounding board. Describe the outcome in plain English — Cyan turns the conversation into a workflow that runs.

  1. 1
    Parse the outcome you described, with the context on the board.
  2. 2
    Compile a plan — the steps and the human gates.
  3. 3
    Select the right plug-ins for each step.
  4. 4
    Materialize a runnable pipeline.
  5. 5
    Run it — with a human at every gate.
Cloud

Cyan Lens does the heavy lifting on GPU.

Distributed

Split the work across cloud and your own machines.

Fully local

Sensitive jobs never leave your devices.

Same workflow — you choose where the compute lives.

Cyan Lens

AI that connects the dots.

Lens watches how your team works and surfaces what matters — before you have to ask.

🔔

Nudges

Questions going stale. Blockers hiding in threads. Decisions nobody implemented. Lens catches what falls through the cracks.

"Sarah's been waiting on the Mexico/Spain dub QC for 8 hours. It's blocking Friday delivery to Netflix."
❓

Asks

Every question tracked. Who asked, who's assigned, how long it's been open. Nothing gets lost.

"5 open questions. 2 assigned to you. 1 unanswered for 3 days."
✅

Decisions

Decisions captured from conversations. Team can agree, disagree, comment. Institutional memory.

"Approved Spanish + Portuguese for Hulu cut. Hold UAE compliance pass for next sprint."

Workflows

Describe the outcome.
Cyan delivers it.

Tell Cyan what needs to happen. It plans the work, picks the right tools, runs the pipeline, and keeps your team in the loop at every gate. Approvals where they belong. Audit trail by default.

End-to-end workflow

From script to broadcast.
One connected workflow.

The work doesn't live in any one phase. Cyan rides the seams between them — pre-production to delivery.

Division of labor

AI does the work.
Humans make the calls.

AI handles

  • Scans hours of video in seconds
  • Regional compliance checks
  • Multi-language subtitle generation
  • Ad break optimization
  • Quality control across format and audio
  • Responds to questions about findings in context

Humans decide

  • Is this profanity intentional? Director's choice.
  • Move the ad break — the scene is too emotional.
  • The bleep sounds harsh — use a music sting instead.
  • Approve for one region, hold for another's review.
  • Ask AI: "What if we cut this scene?"
  • Final sign-off before delivery.
Your data, your devices
