AI broadcast desk for local publishers

Turn your articles into an always-on video news channel.

Most AI video tools hand you one clip at a time. Text2Air runs the whole channel: it reads the articles you already publish, drafts them for an AI presenter, keeps your editor in control of every word, and uploads video segments your editors have approved to your own channel on YouTube around the clock with your permission. Every upload is disclosed as AI-generated. Text2Air does not read, modify, or delete your existing Youtube content. See our Privacy Policy in the homepage for details

Built for local publishers and independent publications: new viewership and monetisable video inventory from the reporting you produce, without staffing a broadcast desk.

See how it works

No scraping. No auto-publishing. No unapproved presenter likenesses. Every segment is editor-approved and AI-disclosed.

See it live

Your articles, on every screen.

Your approved story runs as an always-on broadcast on your YouTube channel, then gets repurposed into vertical clips for TikTok and Shorts, with the AI presenter and disclosure intact.

Always-on live channel on YouTube. Illustrative example.

A Text2Air AI presenter on a vertical TikTok live stream with viewer comments and an ON AIR sign — Repurposed to vertical short-form. Illustrative example.

Text2Air is not designed for scraping competitors, generating fake news, impersonating real people, or bypassing editorial responsibility. Every channel runs on a publisher’s own content, with a human editor approving every segment.

The publisher gap

Plenty of stories. No way to staff a video desk all day.

Written journalism still drives most local publishers, but audience attention, platform reach, and monetisation are moving to video. Text2Air gives smaller publications a practical path to always-on video without building a full broadcast operation.

Stories stay written-only

You publish every day, but turning those articles into polished video is slow, manual, and inconsistent.

Live channels are expensive

A real broadcast desk needs presenters, editors, producers, schedulers, graphics, and technical support around the clock.

Generic AI tools create risk

Consumer video generators make one clip at a time and stop. They aren’t built around a publication’s workflow, editorial sign-off, defamation caution, or disclosure.

The solution

A turnkey broadcast desk for your own content.

Text2Air converts approved written articles into short AI-presented video segments, then schedules them into a continuous branded live channel. You keep editorial control at every step.

Import article

Connect Ghost in V1, with WordPress, RSS, feed, and webhook adapters planned.

AI script drafting

Generate 60–120 second presenter scripts from your own articles, in your house style.

Mandatory review

Editors approve, edit, or reject every script before rendering. No auto-publishing.

Presenter rendering

Use consent-verified avatar and voice providers to create branded presenter-led segments.

Branded output

Add captions, article imagery, lower-thirds, logos, and AI disclosure labels.

Always-on playout

Schedule approved segments into a rolling YouTube Live channel and reuse clips for short-form.

Before and after

The same reporting, doing a lot more.

Your team already does the hard part. Text2Air turns that existing output into video, distribution, and inventory you can sell.

Before Text2Air

20 articles a week.

Zero video output. No live channel, no short-form, and nothing to sell against video.

After Text2Air

20 articles, many formats.

The same 20 stories become short bulletins, live channel segments, Shorts, TikToks, and sponsor inventory.

Editorial control layer

Non-bypassable human governance.

In broadcast, an error is irreversible. Text2Air is designed so no AI model can put itself on air. Every word, graphic, and render must pass through a strict human editorial gate.

Add-holds-only architecture

AI models evaluate ingested content for risk, profanity, and named entities. They are only permitted to add holds to a script, forcing human review. They can never remove a hold.

if (risk_score > threshold)
 queue.status = "HELD";

Tamper-evident audit trails

Every source ingested, script edited, and approval granted is logged in a cryptographically verifiable chain. If an error makes it to air, you can trace it back to the exact user and timestamp.

SHA256: a7d3e9f...
USER: editor@local.news
ACTION: APPROVE_SCRIPT

Provenance-derived labels

Compliance with AI disclosure laws is not an option to toggle. The engine automatically burns C2PA metadata and visual watermarks into synthetic frames, while keeping camera-real B-roll untouched.

Avatar layer: SYNTHETIC
Voice layer: SYNTHETIC
B-Roll insert: CAMERA-REAL

Enterprise infrastructure

Built for continuous uptime.

Dead air is unacceptable. Text2Air employs a decoupled playout architecture with autonomous fallback logic to ensure your channel stays live even if upstream data sources fail.

Resilient Ingest Queues

APIs fail and feeds go down. Our ingest workers cache and retry payload fetches intelligently, never blocking the render pipeline.

Distributed Render Nodes

Heavy avatar and graphic synthesis is spread across GPU clusters. Segments render ahead of time and download to the playout server.

Autonomous Standby Fill

If the editorial queue runs empty, the playout engine automatically injects weather updates, sponsor slates, or countdowns to prevent black frames.
