About
Cuez is the world's first cloud-based, end-to-end live production suite designed for broadcasters, newsrooms, sports productions, live events, and entertainment studios. The platform is built around three core products: Rundown, Automator, and Storydesk. Cuez Rundown allows creative writers and technical crew to co-author scripts and rundowns in real time, with episode templates, content blocks, and instant syncing for last-minute changes — accessible from anywhere in the world. Cuez Automator connects all production hardware and software tools through API-driven, no-code automation. Teams can control studio equipment and broadcast software with a single click, dramatically reducing manual intervention during live shows. Storydesk is a cloud-based NRCS (News Room Computer System) built around the story rather than the rundown. It integrates wire monitoring, story planning, media management, and multi-channel publishing, with AI handling repetitive production tasks so journalists can stay focused on storytelling. Cuez serves a wide range of industries including sports, esports, news, entertainment, universities, worship, and live events. Its seamless integrations with existing production hardware and software make it easy to adopt without disrupting existing workflows. The platform is ideal for enterprise broadcast teams and production companies seeking real-time collaboration, scalable automation, and AI-powered newsroom efficiency.
