Ambient Brings Artificial Intelligence to Cinema

Ambit Analyser, the dashboard for captive audience planning has announced an extensive revamp of the tool, making it AI driven. The Neural Network based AI planning tool has been linked to real time data through API integrations to provide a more proactive stance in foreseeing the direction of the campaign, improve efficiency and ensure accurate planning without breaking a sweat. It has also incorporated the data for over 10,000 screens across metros, mini metros and tier 2 cities. Ambit Analyser aims to empower agencies and clients to take the right steps to maximize campaign performance.

As part of the development process, Ambit Analyser uses multiple data parameters like property grading, trade density, seating capacity etc. across PAN India cinema screens. With this upgrade, cinema planning gets completely automated, reducing human intervention merely to 10%. From the brief to planning to the final implementation, everything is enabled on a single integrated dashboard.
