AI for TV production and broadcasters · Swiss Made

RECAP understands video.

Whether video or script: RECAP grasps a film or series the way a human would who has seen everything and forgets nothing — every scene, every character, every conflict and continuity thread — even across 4,500+ episodes of a telenovela spanning 25 seasons.

Episode 1 to 4,500+Series knowledge as a queryable memory

No image generatorWe understand content — we don't replace it

Only a system that understands story can solve production tasks where isolated tools reach their limits.

RECAP turns story into a shared operating system.

Fiction · Single Stories · Series

Along the entire production process.

RECAP works just as well for procedurals, weeklies and mini-series. But daily fiction, as a high-speed operation, is the real stress test: hundreds of episodes a year, rotating writer teams, short-notice absences, little time for research & onboarding. RECAP sits in every one of these steps.

Series knowledge nobody remembers anymore

New writers are productive in hours, not weeks. No flipping through story bibles, no asking colleagues who joined six years ago.

"Richard and Daniel are supposed to be friends. But at some point there was a huge falling-out. Why?"

Talk with the character, not about them

Writers hold a conversation with a character who knows their entire history, voice and contradictions. Dialogue consistency becomes verifiable instead of a gut feeling.

"Would you really say it like that? And what do you think of this suggestion?"

Rescheduling under time pressure

An actor drops out, a location falls through, a shooting day shifts. RECAP shows within minutes which scenes are affected, which storylines depend on them, and which rewrites preserve continuity.

Building the shooting schedule

RECAP minimises conflicts according to your priorities and drafts a first shooting schedule.

"Which scenes will need an intimacy coordinator? Optimise the schedule accordingly."

Visualisation of a real optimisation run, time-lapsed.

Press copy and trailer proposals at the push of a button

From the finished cut come press releases, episode teasers and social media clip proposals with concrete timecodes — spoiler-free, in your tone of voice, down to an exportable EDL.

"Give me 2 teaser variants: one warm-hearted for 55+, one edgy for 19–30. 90 seconds"

RECAP answer: teaser variant for 55+ with clip list, timecodes, preview and EDL export — 55+ · warm-hearted — ~98 s, with EDL

RECAP answer: teaser variant for ages 19 to 30 — 19–30 · edgy

Age-rating compliance and categorisation

Traceable age-rating reports with supporting evidence, plus consistent tagging and metadata for archiving, VoD delivery and licensing.

"Show me every point that could trigger a rating discussion — with timecode and reasoning."

Seamless connection to your workflow

Every work product — at every stage — can be exported, shared or handed off directly via API to downstream tools: editing suite, scheduling software, editorial system. RECAP fits into your workflow instead of demanding its own.

"Pass the result on as PDF, CSV, or straight via API — into the edit suite, into the scheduling software.API-first"

New Formats

Understanding is the precondition for monetising.

Whoever fully understands a series can translate its universe into formats nobody serves today — using material you already own and whose rights you already hold.

Spin-offs

Audio drama and POV formats from the series universe: supporting characters with their own storylines, prequels, companion formats for the current season. Canonically correct, because the knowledge comes from the series itself.

Micro-dramas

High-frequency vertical short-form content — the fastest-growing video market worldwide. RECAP identifies the material, conflicts and cliffhangers that carry a short format.

Archive exploitation

Decades of programming nobody searches anymore. We make it queryable: by topic, character constellation, motif and reuse potential.

Non-Fiction · In Development

The same capability.
A different consequence.

A system that understands moving images at a content level also understands reportage, interviews and social video. It recognises what claim is being made, in what context — and whether it can be substantiated.

For editorial teams that means efficient fact-checking during production. For platforms it means checking at the scale content is actually uploaded.

Illustrative representation. Every check delivers a timecode, source and reasoning — the editorial decision stays with a human.
