New products span the full production chain, from editorial planning to studio automation and AI-assisted control rooms.
Cuez will showcase four additions to its cloud-based newsroom, rundown and automation platform at NAB Show 2026 :
Cuez Storydesk: A brand new story-centric newsroom system;
Blockz: This new feature allows journalists to determine studio automations from within any NRCS;
Browz: A universal media browser;
An open agentic AI framework for live production.
The four products share the common goal of simplifying workflows for teams producing more content across more platforms than ever before. They work with existing production infrastructure and can be adopted independently or together as part of the Cuez Suite.
Cuez Storydesk: The story-centric newsroom reimagined Cuez Storydesk is the world's first modular and publish-point-centric NRCS. It puts the story, not the broadcast schedule, at the centre of every workflow.
Every story breaks into reusable blocks: text, graphics, titles, media. Journalists create once, then adapt and publish across TV, social media, websites and more from a single workspace. No third-party tools. No copy-paste between channels. AI handles repetitive tasks like headline generation and adapting content to different platform formats. The editorial experience is built around speed and real-time collaboration, with no locked items and no version conflicts. During breaking news, every update is instantly visible to the whole team.
Additionally, you can leverage your own AI tools, trained on your data, with your skills and instructions, to interact with the entire chain. An important part is that Storydesk works with embeddings: every asset, every piece of information, every textual fact, becomes accessible for AI agents to interact with.
Journalists create. Editors shape. Producers schedule. Everyone works in the same live environment. Cuez Storydesk works as a standalone NRCS or connects to Cuez Rundown and Cuez Automator for seamless production and playout.
The story-centric platform is designed for the editorial team to centralize all news feeds in one: add topics from your mailbox, preferred news wires, the daily chat and many others; both with or without filtering from your trusted company AI agent.
Blockz: Modern automation for legacy and next-gen newsrooms alike A legacy NRCS can still work well for main TV news production. But today's need to deliver to multiple platforms means integrating with software that doesn't support MOS, like graphics engines and vision mixers. Thanks to Blockz, Cuez Automator eliminates the divide between traditional newsroom systems and modern production tools, bringing detailed control of API-only and MOS devices alike into the legacy NRCS. Newsrooms keep their existing editorial system in place and add no-code automation on top, with no disruption to daily operations.
Automator embeds cue blocks directly inside MOS rundowns, carrying all metadata and media links. When triggered during a live broadcast, these blocks unfold into real-time actions across connected cameras, switchers, graphics and audio devices. The result is a single automation layer that bridges legacy stability with next-gen flexibility. It runs in the cloud, on-prem, or in a hybrid setup.
Automation shouldn't come with a trade-off between legacy compatibility and future readiness, says Aaron Nuytemans, CRO at Cuez. Blockz allows you to build and execute automations inside legacy and innovative newsrooms systems alike, enabling journalists to build the effects they want on the fly, with no need for difficult codes or copy/pasting instructions. Unlock VMIX in iNews? No problem. On top of that, newsrooms can start automating immediately and migrate at whatever pace suits them. No vendor lock-in. No forced timelines.
Browz: Search, preview and insert media without leaving the rundown Browz removes the need to leave the rundown to hunt for assets. A universal media browser built into Cuez, Browz connects directly to any MAM or media archive, whether enterprise-grade or homegrown. Search, preview and drop media into the rundown without file transfers, without switching applications and without waiting for custom integrations. One interface, any archive.
Media stays in the MAM and is simply referenced and previewed within Cuez, avoiding duplication and keeping storage tidy. It is a straightforward solution to a problem that has traditionally added unnecessary friction to live production workflows.
AI: An open agent framework, not a black box Cuez' approach to AI puts control where it belongs: with the broadcaster. The platform supports an open agent architecture that lets teams run AI agents within production workflows. Organizations can bring their own fine-tuned LLMs, trained on their own data and context, or deploy local models where data governance requires them. The skills, the models and the decisions stay with the people who understand the content.
Within Cuez' story-centric newsroom solution, Storydesk, AI already handles practical tasks like headline versioning and multichannel content adaptation. At the production level, Cuez has developed AI agent assistants alongside major international broadcasters and technology partners, demonstrating voice-commanded rundown management, smart cueing and real-time decision support in the control room. Those capabilities are now being integrated into the Cuez platform.
The point isn't to hand the gallery over to a machine. It is to give lean production teams a set of capable controllable tools that reduce cognitive load
