London: HighField AI, the industry’s first multimodal, agentic AI solution purpose-built for broadcast newsrooms, has announced its integration with CGI OpenMedia, one of the world’s leading newsroom solutions. 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 significantly accelerating overall newsroom workflows.
“HighField AI was built with a clear mission—deliver practical tools that enhance, not upend, the way existing newsrooms operate,” said Ofir Benovici, Co-founder of HighField AI. “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.”
“At CGI, our mission is to enable modern newsrooms with flexible, impactful solutions,” said Michael Pfitzner, Vice President, Newsroom Solutions at CGI. “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.”
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 analyzes stories created in OpenMedia and deploys AI agents to automate time-consuming production tasks—selecting relevant graphics, populating templates with context-aware text, visuals, and metadata, and assembling packages for editorial review. This dramatically reduces preparation time while keeping journalists in full control, with the ability to review and refine content.
