MURRIETA, Calif.—DigitalGlue has announced it will be taking a different approach to AI applications during the 2026 NAB Show that is designed to help users overcome the confusion and complexity surrounding AI tools.

As part of an effort to simplify the use of AI applications, it will be showcasing the creative.space Platform, introducing creative.space Intelligence (CSI) for the first time and demoing its established creative.space Storage solution.

These solutions form a unified creative operating system designed to replace the fragmented workflow tools that slow down video teams, DigitalGlue reported.

The creative.space Storage solution is available today. CSI is currently in beta and is being introduced to customers, with broader availability planned following NAB Show 2026.

Instead of adding another subscription to manage, creative.space delivers what DigitalGlue calls Outcome as a Service. It replaces the mix of tools most teams rely on with one system that handles storage, collaboration, and AI-powered insight in a single workflow, helping teams reduce software spend, eliminate duplicate storage, and turn unused footage into usable creative assets.

“Creative teams are buried under tools that do not work together,” said Tim Anderson, CEO/CTO at DigitalGlue. “creative.space removes that complexity. With creative.space Intelligence, we are making content not just accessible, but actually usable in a way that fits how teams already work.”

The creative.space Storage solution serves as the foundation of the platform and is already used by video teams who want a more streamlined way to manage their media.

DigitalGlue said that with creative.space Storage, teams can:

• Store media once and eliminate duplicate copies across drives and cloud
• Edit locally or remotely without setting up separate systems
• Review and approve content without exporting, uploading, or relinking
• Transfer files without paying for third-party services
• Keep every collaborator working from the same, up-to-date media
• This allows teams to collapse their Frankenstack of tools, cancel overlapping subscriptions, and remove the manual work of managing files across multiple systems.

Making its debut at NAB Show 2026, creative.space Intelligence addresses one of the biggest challenges in video production: teams have more footage than they can realistically use because finding anything inside it takes too much time. CSI automatically analyzes footage and turns everything inside it into searchable, organized information. Instead of scrubbing through timelines or relying on memory, teams can simply ask for what they need using natural language and get instant results.

Users can search for a person, a quote, a topic, a logo, or even a type of moment, and CSI will return exact matches across entire media libraries in seconds.

Unlike traditional AI tools that require technical prompting or training, DigitalGlue said that CSI is designed to understand how creative teams naturally think and speak. It provides a conversational interface on top of its video analysis, so users can interact with their content the same way they would brief an editor or producer.

Beyond search, CSI acts as an iteration engine. It can automatically generate rough cuts, stringouts, and alternate versions of content, helping editors reach a first draft with less manual assembly. It also provides AI-driven feedback and second opinions, allowing teams to evaluate and refine content before presenting it to stakeholders.

The result is a more efficient and collaborative workflow where less time is spent searching, organizing, and transferring files, and more time is spent shaping and delivering content.

NAB Show attendees can see the creative.space Platform in action and schedule a live demo at booth N3152.

MURRIETA, Calif.—DigitalGlue, creator of the creative.space on-premise managed storage platform, says it will launch creative.space Intelligence (CSI) at the 2026 NAB Show, April 18-22 in Las Vegas. The company describes CSI as “a first-of-its-kind Managed Creative Operating System designed to solve the dual crisis of physics and cognition currently facing the professional video market.”

DigitalGlue says media organizations currently face a two-fold crisis. As global archives are set to reach 174 exabytes, media organizations are having to deal with video files that are becoming too massive.

Traditional cloud storage introduces latency and punitive egress costs, which DigitalGlue describes as a “Cloud Tax" that breaks production budgets and makes large files too "heavy" to move. In addition, production houses are drowning in “Dark Data,” unsearchable, untrackable footage.

“Highly paid creative professionals currently lose up to 25% of their work week acting as librarians, forced to manually log and search media because current tools lack narrative intuition,” the company said.

DigitalGlue says it has solved this physical and cognitive conundrum by unifying high-performance, on-premise hardware (The Body) with a forensic AI engine (The Brain) into a single ecosystem.

At the center of this system is a content-addressable identity system that categorizes media into Core Assets (the underlying DNA of the footage) and Versions (proxies, high-res masters, web exports). Instead of fighting physics by pushing petabytes of video into a slow cloud, CSI brings the Intelligence directly to the source. This creates Data Gravity, where the platform analyzes media exactly where it sits, eliminating costly migrations and instantly linking every Version back to its Core Asset, the company said.

While most industry AI remains "context-blind," DigitalGlue says it is establishing a new standard for creative operations. "Most AI tools just point out objects in a video (a car, a person, a tree),” the company said. “creative.space Intelligence (CSI) does something much more valuable: it tells you why your video matters, how it makes the audience feel, and how to repeat that success."

Because CSI understands the Core Asset, it generates “Contextual Wisdom” that reveals the hidden architecture of successful content, automates the path to delivery, and serves as an indispensable co-creator by mapping narrative beats, simulating audience pulse, and predicting reception before a single dollar is spent on distribution, according to DigitalGlue.

At NAB 2026, DigitalGlue will demonstrate how CSI wraps an unmatched AI engine in the workflow primitives that modern studios require:

• The Vault (Universal Asset Library): Replaces folder-based browsing with Agent-driven ingestion and CSI ID fingerprinting for instant duplicate detection and version tracking.
• The Oracle (Semantic Multimodal Search): Natural language search that understands emotion and mood (e.g., "Find high-energy celebration moments").
• Consensus (Review & Approval): An agentic review experience that summarizes massive feedback threads into actionable change requests and uses "Annotation-to-Action" to generate edit commands.
• Launch (Distribution Hub): Automated multi-platform publishing with AI-driven compliance checks for duration, aspect ratio, and content warnings.
• The Crew (AI Agent Workforce): Autonomous agents - The Librarian, The Researcher, and The Compliance Officer - that work 24/7 to catalog and protect assets.
• Nerve Center (Intelligence Dashboard): Real-time analytics on asset utilization, content velocity, and storage cost intelligence.
• The Bridge (Integration Ecosystem): Users don't have to copy their media assets to work with them; CSI plugs into the user's existing creative.space, local, and cloud storage.

DigitalGlue will also offer a sneak peek at CSI Studio, a unified generative production environment. Designed to bridge the gap between pre-production logic and post-production assets, CSI Studio allows creators to move from a logline to a fully visualized animatic in a single session, utilizing "Character Lock" and automated script breakdowns to reclaim hours of manual labor.

In addition to live demos of CSI, the company will also showcase its Neuro-Seismograph, which visualizes tension and engagement in real-time.

DigitalGlue will be in Booth N3152 in the North Hall of the LVCC.

MURRIETA, Calif.—The Sports Fishing Championship (SFC) has deployed DigitalGlue’s creative.space storage platform to streamline video production by centralizing media management and post-production editing with unified workflows that accelerate content delivery and simplify collaboration.

SFC, the premier competitive saltwater fishing series, faces unique challenges when producing live tournaments. Boats can stay offshore for days capturing terabytes of footage in unpredictable weather, often forcing workflows to fall back on record-and-ingest methods.

Before creative.space, SFC’s editors and producers juggled hard drives, cloud services and multiple MAM systems. This created duplicate files, inconsistent access and wasted time. With creative.space, the entire media pipeline is consolidated into a single platform, giving teams one reliable source to use.

The creative.space libraries and tagging system enables editors to search footage instantly by angler, sponsor, location or species.

“When producers request a piece on a specific angler, I can pull up not just their catches and B-roll but also every interview sound bite in seconds. What used to take hours of scrubbing through footage now takes minutes, and that’s what convinced the post team, who were understandably cautious about switching workflows mid-season,” said SFC workflow architect and post coordinator Meghan Linn.

This new and improved workflow has proven invaluable during live broadcasts that require editors to cut growing files on the fly for social clips, highlight reels and sponsor packages. “The pressure is constant in live sports, and fishing is no exception. With creative.space, everything stays in one place, whether media is streaming in from Starlink and Haivision or uploaded once crews return to shore. The ability to search, log, and cut growing files in real time has been a game-changer for hitting deadlines,” said director and producer Ryan Tyler, who oversees live broadcasts for SFC.

Even with slow hotel or marina internet connections across the Gulf and Atlantic divisions, collaboration has improved. Editors can log into creative.space, browse, download what they need and work locally. “Everyone’s finding it intuitive and easy to use. I don’t have to spend time training people. They just get it,” said Linn.

More information is available on the company’s website.
