Videri Adds AI Layer With Text-Prompt Content and Task Tools
2026-08-07 · via invidis
Videri is adding an AI layer called Videri Intelligence to its digital signage platform, built into the existing portal rather than sold as a separate add-on. The upgrade matters for operators already on Videri's platform because it promises to cut the time spent building and updating display content without requiring a new integration project.
The layer comprises three tools. Application Studio generates finished display applications from a text prompt: a user describes the layout, function and data source, and the tool builds the application and pushes it to the network automatically. Videri says the tool has prebuilt connectors to Power BI, programmatic feeds, Microsoft 365, Google Sheets and RapidAPI, letting it pull from POS systems or other business data sources. Deeper POS integration remains a separate paid service, so operators wanting tighter point-of-sale ties should not expect that to be covered by the AI layer itself.
The second tool, Videri Actions, works as an in-portal assistant that carries out text-prompt commands, such as swapping a promotion across every location in a network. Videri says every action respects existing user access rights and can be undone, which addresses an obvious concern for multi-location operators worried about an AI tool making unsupervised changes across a live network.
The third tool, Videri Insights, is not yet available. Videri describes it as designed to analyze device data, playback statistics and audience behavior on its own, flagging things like underperforming displays or particularly effective content. Because it has not shipped, the release does not say how it will be priced or exactly what data it will surface, and readers should treat its capabilities as a stated plan rather than a working feature.
Hardware Tie-In and Rollout
Videri positions its combination of in-house hardware, firmware and software as a differentiator against competitors that add AI features on top of third-party displays. The company argues this gives it access to signal and usage data other vendors cannot see, though that claim comes from Videri itself and is not independently verified in the announcement.
A pilot phase starts in September 2026, with a small group of partners testing Application Studio and Actions first; Insights follows later on an unspecified timeline. Videri says no migration or separate integration project is needed since the tools appear directly in the current portal, meaning existing customers could activate the layer once it is available to them. Licensing is separate from the core platform, and Videri has not announced pricing, saying specifics will come after the pilot phase concludes.

End-to-end provider Videri is adding a new AI layer to its platform. Three tools build content, handle tasks and will analyze network data.
Digital signage provider Videri has introduced Videri Intelligence, a new AI layer for its platform. It comprises three tools that will build content, handle network tasks and analyze data.
The new layer is not a separate add-on product – it is integrated into the existing portal.
Content Built From Data and Text Prompts
The first tool, Application Studio, generates finished display applications from a text prompt. Users describe the layout, function and data source. The tool then builds the application and pushes it to the network automatically.
According to Videri, prebuilt connectors to Power BI, programmatic feeds, Microsoft 365, Google Sheets and RapidAPI link the system to POS systems or business data. Deeper POS integration is still offered as a separate service.
The second tool, Videri Actions, works as an assistant inside the portal. Users enter commands as text prompts too — for example, swapping a promotion across all locations — and Actions carries them out. According to Videri, every action stays within existing access rights and can be undone.
The third tool, Videri Insights, is not yet available. It is designed to analyze device data, playback statistics and audience behavior on its own, and to proactively flag unusual patterns – such as underperforming displays or especially effective content.
To set itself apart from competitors, Videri points to its own hardware and software. While many providers retrofit AI features onto third-party hardware, Videri develops its displays, firmware and platform in-house, giving it access, by its own account, to signal and usage data that stays hidden from other systems.
Videri has announced a pilot phase for its AI upgrade. Starting in September 2026, the company says a small group of partners will begin working with Application Studio and Actions, with Insights to follow later.
No migration or separate integration project should be necessary. The features appear directly in the existing portal, so existing customers can simply activate the layer. Licensing is handled separately from the platform, and Videri plans to announce specific pricing only after the pilot phase.
