AI is the biggest technological shift since the Internet, Witbe to show what comes next for streaming video testing and monitoring
NEW YORK — March 24, 2026 — Artificial intelligence is changing how streaming services are tested and monitored. At the 2026 NAB Show, Witbe (Euronext Growth – FR0013143872 – ALWIT) will demonstrate how this shift becomes operational — introducing an AI-powered infrastructure that replaces traditional, script-based automation with real-time execution, analysis, and operations on real devices, across real networks.
AI-Powered Infrastructure for Streaming Video Operations
Witbe introduces an infrastructure where AI is embedded across every layer of the platform — from real devices to automation, operations, and observability — actively driving how streaming services are tested and monitored. Built on proprietary technology developed over more than two decades — including MOS-based video quality measurement and intelligent device control — this infrastructure connects four layers into a single system: real-device execution (Witbox), AI-driven automation (Agentic SDK), operational control (REC), and intelligent analysis (Smartgate).
At its foundation are a global network of thousands of Witbox robots deployed across ISPs, telcos, and streaming platforms and the Agentic SDK, introduced mid-February as part of Witbe Suite 41 – an automation framework that lets teams generate and execute tests through natural language, hybrid pre-built workflows, or full code-based customization.
Together, they enable testing and monitoring workflows that adapt to application changes, scale across environments, and remain resilient across releases, without constant script maintenance.
Real-time AI Control of Streaming Services
Through the Remote Eye Controller (REC) — Witbe’s virtual NOC — teams can now interact directly with their testing infrastructure using natural language.
They can:
- Instantly trigger tests across one or hundreds of real devices
- Launch ad-hoc validations without scripting
- Organize devices and streams dynamically by service, region, or use case
- Monitor execution in real time across global environments
Instead of managing tools, writing scripts, or coordinating environments, teams instruct the system, and execution happens immediately. This introduces a new operational model where testing becomes interactive, continuous and operational.
AI-Driven Analysis and Issue Detection
This intelligence layer is powered by Smartgate — Witbe’s observability platform — which continuously analyzes test results at scale.
Instead of waiting for teams to investigate issues, Smartgate identifies, explains, and prioritizes them proactively:
- Identifies and categorizes issues automatically
- Compares failed and successful executions to determine root causes
- Detects quality degradation across devices, ISPs, and regions
- Surfaces patterns across large volumes of executions
This shifts teams from reactive troubleshooting to continuous quality control.
A Fundamental Shift in How Streaming Services Are Operated
“What we are seeing today is only the beginning,” said Mathieu Planche, CEO of Witbe. “AI is not improving testing workflows — it is replacing how they work. Teams no longer need to write and maintain scripts. They define what they want to validate, and the system executes it across real devices. This is a fundamental shift in how streaming services are tested and monitored.”
New capabilities and workflows are being introduced continuously — expanding how teams use AI to test, monitor, and operate streaming services at scale.
