Innovations

Editorial power reimagined.
Everything you need to run a modern newsroom.

Explore the latest innovations designed to power modern newsroom workflows.

On-premise LLM Options

Keep your data secure with local AI processing capabilities.

Contextual AI

Context-aware assistance that respects editorial intent – enhancing scripts with relevant information, improving speed and accuracy without changing your voice. Unlike generic tools, Octopus uses what’s already in your rundown, your wires, and your active assignments to shape its responses. That means you get: summaries that reflect your newsroom’s angle, headlines tailored to your actual coverage, and suggestions that stay on-topic – not off the rails.

Local AI

Keeps your data safe and private – nothing leaves “the house” Octopus lets you run models directly on-premise or in your private cloud. No silent data sharing, no mystery pipelines. Your content stays where it belongs – with you. Our AI integrations play nice with your compliance, not against it.

AI-Powered Workflows

Custom shortcuts and personalized automation that learn your newsroom’s rhythm. Helping teams work faster without losing their voice. Seamless integration with 15+ AI technologies.

Editorial Control

Every AI-powered suggestion is transparent, traceable, and fully editable. AI suggests, translates, summarises, fact-checks, and tags, but editors always stay in control.

No-Code Workflow Designer

A visual workflow builder that lets you automate and optimize newsroom processes without writing much traditional software code. It’s a smarter, faster way to build the newsroom you need – from content approvals and publishing flows to notifications and automation triggers.

Octopus Customer Portal

A centralized hub where customers can manage user access (and so much more), securely store encryption keys, and activate various newsroom services with ease. The portal also provides real-time system insights and updates, helping broadcasters stay informed and in control. With this added layer of security, Octopus 12 supports newsrooms operate efficiently while maintaining oversight of their data and workflows.

Element Skipping

Producers can instantly skip primary or secondary items in the rundown – without breaking the flow. It’s built for live, fast-paced environments where every second counts and decisions can’t wait.

Adapting to any workflow and environment, Octopus streamlines the entire news production process.
