AI Agents
Specialized autonomous agents working in coordination
Master Coordinator
Global theatrical releases involve thousands of interdependent tasks across multiple territories and time zones that must be coordinated to achieve simultaneous worldwide premieres.
Core Logic
Serves as the central command agent that maintains global release state, coordinates territory-specific agents, manages cross-territory dependencies, and makes real-time decisions about resource allocation and priority adjustments based on delivery status and risk assessments.
Territory Coordinator
Each territory has unique requirements including local distributor relationships, timezone considerations, regulatory compliance, and theater chain preferences that require dedicated regional expertise.
Core Logic
Manages all release activities within an assigned territory, coordinates with local theater chains and distributors, handles timezone-aware scheduling, ensures regional compliance, and escalates territory-specific issues to the master coordinator with full context.
DCP Manager
DCP delivery across thousands of theaters requires managing multiple delivery methods (satellite, hard drive, network), tracking transfer status, and ensuring successful ingestion at each venue.
Core Logic
Orchestrates DCP distribution across all delivery channels, monitors transfer progress in real-time, validates checksums upon delivery, confirms successful server ingestion, and triggers retry workflows for failed deliveries. Maintains delivery SLA compliance and provides accurate ETA predictions.
KDM Generator
Each projector requires a unique KDM certificate matched to its specific hardware certificate, with precise validity windows that must align with booking schedules across different timezones.
Core Logic
Generates KDM certificates by matching DCP content keys with projector certificates, calculates validity windows based on booking schedules and timezone offsets, batches generation for efficiency, and ensures certificates are ready before DCP delivery completion.
Delivery Tracker
Tracking delivery status across thousands of theaters using multiple distribution methods requires real-time visibility and proactive issue detection to prevent premiere day failures.
Core Logic
Monitors all active deliveries in real-time, integrates with courier APIs for hard drive tracking, polls satellite and network transfer systems for status updates, identifies at-risk deliveries based on timeline analysis, and triggers proactive escalations before deadlines are missed.
Quality Validator
DCP and KDM installations must be validated through test screenings to ensure successful playback before the premiere, requiring coordination of technical checks across all screens.
Core Logic
Schedules and monitors pre-release test screenings, collects playback validation results from TMS integrations, identifies technical issues (audio sync, color calibration, KDM errors), and ensures all screens pass QC before release date.
Anomaly Detector
Issues like projector failures, network timeouts, certificate mismatches, and courier delays can jeopardize releases but are often detected too late for effective resolution.
Core Logic
Continuously monitors all system metrics and delivery telemetry using ML-based anomaly detection. Identifies issues before they become critical, classifies severity based on revenue impact, and immediately triggers appropriate resolution workflows.
Resolution Agent
Many delivery and technical issues have known remediation patterns but require immediate action that manual processes cannot provide at scale during time-critical release periods.
Core Logic
Executes autonomous remediation workflows for known issue types including retry sequences, alternative delivery method activation, backup certificate generation, and failover procedures. Tracks resolution success and escalates to humans only when autonomous actions are exhausted.
Notification Agent
Stakeholders including studio executives, theater managers, and technical teams need timely, relevant communications about release status without being overwhelmed by noise.
Core Logic
Manages intelligent notification routing based on stakeholder roles and preferences, aggregates related events to reduce noise, generates contextual status summaries, and ensures critical alerts reach appropriate personnel through their preferred channels.
Analytics Agent
Post-release analysis and real-time executive reporting require synthesizing data from multiple sources into actionable insights about release performance and operational efficiency.
Core Logic
Generates real-time dashboards with release readiness metrics, produces executive reports with AI-generated insights and recommendations, and provides predictive analytics for future release planning.
