CoJourno

Modular AI automation for newsrooms. Built inside one.

CoJourno is an AI orchestration platform for media organizations. It brings practical, modular automations - called Gambits - directly into the MAM and NRCS your journalists already use. Each Gambit solves one specific problem we've watched eat hours out of a working day. You start where it hurts most. You add more as you need them.

What CoJourno is.

CoJourno is not a new tool your journalists need to learn. It's an automation layer that connects to the systems they already work in. It watches for the events that matter - a package published, an asset expiring, a video heading to social - and runs the automation that should already have been running. 

The journalist keeps working. The work that used to require a human watching, dragging, cropping, retyping, re-checking gets done in the background. 

Each automation is a Gambit. Self-contained. Independently configurable. Run one or run all of them.

The Gambits

Six Gambits, each solving a specific problem we've watched newsrooms work around for years. More are in development - our roadmap is shaped by what we see in the field, not by what looks good on a slide.

Intelligent Vertical Reframing

Broadcast is 16:9. Social wants 9:16. Today, a person does that conversion by hand, every day. CoJourno does it with AI face tracking that follows the subject - and hands back a fully editable sequence so the journalist stays in control.

Gambit 1

Automated Social Publishing

The package has aired. Generating a title, writing a description, picking a thumbnail, posting to each platform - that's an hour of someone's day. CoJourno does it in your editorial tone, automatically or with one-click approval.

Gambit 2

AI Highlight Maker

Your hour-long show just aired. A press conference just wrapped. One click runs CoJourno over the content, finds the highlights against your editorial criteria, cuts them, reframes them, and schedules them for social. Compatible with Saga and Mimir.

Gambit 3

AI Based Housekeeping & Archiving

Media managers spend most of their day on manual housekeeping. Verifying metadata. Moving files. Cleaning up working copies. CoJourno turns that into a background process you can audit. Fully compatible with Mimir.

Gambit 4

Newsroom Assistant

What ran on Tuesday's 6pm show? What's the gender breakdown of guests this month? Your journalists ask these questions every day; the answers are buried across MAM, NRCS, rundowns and archives. CoJourno's Newsroom Assistant returns them in seconds.

Gambit 5

Graphics Builder

After a clip is reframed, someone else has to open another tool to add a logo, apply branding, and re-export. Now they don't. Right-click on the video. CoJourno adds branding, logo and headlines, and renders as many versions as you need. Compatible with Mimir Cutter.

Gambit 6

Integration, not disruption

CoJourno sits as an orchestration layer on top of your MAM and NRCS via APIs. No system replacement. No parallel workflow. No new app for journalists to open. Each Gambit is independent - adding one doesn't affect the others. Start with the one that fixes your worst pain point, prove the value, expand.

Every Gambit started as a frustration we watched a journalist deal with. Not one started on a product roadmap.

Why we built CoJourno

The market is full of AI products for media. Most of them were built by technology companies that decided to enter the space. The demos are impressive. The roadmaps are ambitious. But after the meeting, you walk out asking yourself: do I actually feel closer to solving the problem?

Almost always, the answer is no.

That's because AI for media has, for the most part, been built by people who understand AI. Nobody asked whether they understood media. Nobody asked whether the automation would survive a 4pm bulletin in trouble, with a producer running around looking for a clip and the social team still manually reframing yesterday's output.

CoJourno started somewhere different. We aren't a technology company that entered media. We're a media transformation company that built the technology we needed when nobody else had built it. Every Gambit started as a frustration we watched a journalist deal with. Not one started on a product roadmap.

That changes what gets built. We can tell you which newsroom each Gambit came from, which workflow it lives in, how many hours per day the manual version of that task consumes. We can tell you exactly where it hooks into your MAM or NRCS, because we've configured those systems ourselves, dozens of times.

This is the difference between a demo that impresses a CTO and an automation that survives contact with a live newsroom.
