How to Switch a Promotion On and Off with an AI Assistant?

Wed, 28 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

How does one-word promotion switching work?

You tag the promotion media and the screens that should show it with the same tag, promo. The promotion media sits inside the playlists your screens already play and stays disabled.

When you type promo, the AI assistant enables every media item tagged promo and publishes to every screen tagged promo. The screens play their normal content with the promotion added. When you type normal, it disables the promo media and publishes again.

How to Build a Live Screen Status Dashboard with an AI Assistant?

Wed, 28 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

How does the dashboard work?

The AI assistant calls the read-only list_displays tool, which returns each player’s online status, power state, platform, software version, current playlist, and licence state. It turns that into a full-screen dashboard you play on a screen. You can let Claude build and host the dashboard, or host a ready-made one yourself.

How to Find Who Changed a Screen with an AI Assistant?

Wed, 28 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

What can the assistant find out?

A connected assistant reads the EasySignage audit log with the list_logs tool. For each change it can tell you who made it, the action (such as publish, set source, update, or delete), the old and new values, the time, the city and country of the request, and whether it came from the web app or the API.

Changes made by an AI assistant appear under its API key name, which starts with MCP:, so you can check what an assistant did too.

How to Find Offline Screens with an AI Assistant?

Wed, 28 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

What can the assistant tell me about offline screens?

A connected assistant reads your screens and their status, the same information you see in Screens: whether each screen is online or offline, when it was last seen, its name, location, group and tags. It can sort and filter that list for you, so you get an answer like “3 screens offline, 2 of them in the Sydney group since yesterday” instead of scrolling the list yourself.

How to Schedule a Campaign with an AI Assistant?

Wed, 28 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

How does scheduling with an assistant work?

You describe the campaign in one message: the playlist, the screens or group, and the dates and times. The assistant creates an EasySignage schedule with a default playlist for the rest of the time, adds your campaign to it, and assigns the schedule to the screens. It’s the same schedule you’d build by hand in Schedules, so you can open and change it there afterwards.

How to Get a Proof of Play Report with an AI Assistant?

Wed, 28 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

What can the assistant report?

Proof of play records every time a tracked media item plays: the screen, the playlist, the media name, its tags, how long it played and when. A connected assistant can read those records for a date range and summarise them, for example plays per screen, plays per day, or total play time for one campaign. It’s useful when an advertiser or a manager asks “did it run, and how often?”

How to Build a Playlist from a Folder with an AI Assistant?

Wed, 28 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

What does the assistant do?

You name a folder in Media Assets and describe the playlist. The assistant finds the media in that folder, creates the playlist, adds the items in the order you ask for, and can set it as the content of your screens. Afterwards the playlist is a normal EasySignage playlist that you can open and edit yourself.

What do I need before I start?

An EasySignage Premium or Enterprise plan

How to Update Many Screens at Once with an AI Assistant?

Wed, 28 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

How does it work?

Tags are labels you put on screens, such as nsw, store or menu-board. Once your screens are tagged, you can ask the assistant to act on every screen with a tag: set the same playlist, schedule or channel on all of them, and publish. One message replaces opening each screen in turn.

What do I need before I start?

An EasySignage Premium or Enterprise plan
An AI assistant connected to EasySignage with Full access to Screens, and Read only access to the content you’ll assign (Playlists, Schedules or Channels). See How to Connect an AI Assistant to EasySignage

How to Set Screen Brightness and Power with an AI Assistant?

Wed, 28 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

What can the assistant change?

Brightness: set a screen’s brightness from 1 to 100 now, or on a weekly schedule with up to 3 time slots a day.
Power: turn a screen on or off now, or set a weekly schedule: on, off, or on and off at set times each day.

These are the same settings as Brightness and Power in a screen’s Screen Details, so you can review them there afterwards.

How to Set Up New Screens with an AI Assistant?

Wed, 28 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

How does it work?

Pre-provisioning prepares screens in EasySignage before they come online. You give each player’s serial number a name, a playlist and tags. When the player connects for the first time, it joins your account and applies those settings by itself, so the installer only has to plug it in.

With a connected assistant, you can paste a list of serial numbers and locations and let it set everything up in one go.

How to Check What a Screen Is Playing with an AI Assistant?

Wed, 28 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

What can the assistant tell me?

Each screen plays one source: a playlist, a channel, a group or a schedule. A connected assistant reads which source a screen is set to and what that source contains, and for a schedule, what is on at a given time and what comes next. It answers questions like “why is the cafe screen still showing breakfast?” without you opening the screen, the schedule and the playlist one by one.

How to Audit Your Digital Signage Account with an AI Assistant?

Wed, 28 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

What can the assistant find?

Accounts collect loose ends over time: playlists no screen plays, screens without tags, folders nobody uses. A connected assistant can read your whole account and list them, which is hard to do by clicking through each page. With read-only access, it only reports. You decide what to change.

What do I need before I start?

An EasySignage Premium or Enterprise plan
An AI assistant connected to EasySignage with Read only access to every area you want reviewed, such as Screens, Groups, Playlists, Channels, Schedules, Folders and Media Assets. See How to Connect an AI Assistant to EasySignage

Read-only access is a safe way to try the assistant for the first time.
