Frankly, the leader in transforming local TV broadcast and media companies by enabling them to publish and monetize their digital content across multiple platforms, has launched the Frankly Artificial Intelligence (AI) Initiative.

With IRIS.TV, a leading video personalization and programming platform, Frankly AI enables intelligent video playback for consumers globally. “We selected IRIS.TV as the perfect partner to commence our AI Initiative that leverages machine learning to program the right digital video content to the right viewer in real-time with IRIS.TV’s market-leading Adaptive Stream technology,” Todd Randak, Head of Product, Frankly.

Field Garthwaite, CEO and Co-founder of IRIS.TV, added, “There’s a sea change happening that’s affecting how media is distributed, consumed and monetized. Frankly is part of an important shift in how media platform providers innovate and customize audience experiences. Through our partnership, Frankly is able to leverage the power of AI and machine learning to serve up content that is highly relevant, engages audiences and offers up new revenue opportunities for media companies.”
