For those managing digital signage in restaurants, retail, or offices:

What's the most repetitive part of your workflow today?

Is it:

• Scheduling content
• Updating multiple screens
• Monitoring offline displays
• Managing playlists
• Something else?

I'm building software in this space, and one thing I've noticed is that most platforms still revolve around dashboards full of menus rather than reducing the amount

I'm building an AI-first digital signage platform called ScreenaAI, and while talking to teams evaluating signage software, I kept hearing the same complaint: almost everything is still manual.

Creating playlists, assigning screens, scheduling content, monitoring playback, updating dashboards—most platforms still expect someone to click through a CMS for every change.

That made me wonder whether AI is actually useful here.

We're experimenting with letting admins do things using plain English, for example:

• "Show our Power BI dashboard on all warehouse screens from 6 AM to 6 PM."
• "Create a playlist for reception with weather, company news, and today's meetings."
• "Alert me if any screen stops playing for more than 5 minutes."

The goal isn't AI for content generation—it's reducing operational work.

For people managing dozens or hundreds of screens:

• Which tasks consume the most time today?
• What parts of your current signage platform feel unnecessarily manual?
• Would you trust an AI assistant to manage screens if every action could be reviewed before it's applied?

I'm looking for honest feedback, including reasons why this idea wouldn't work in real deployments.
