# mAI Screen

> AI-powered digital signage & in-store experience platform for retail.
> Tagline: "The screen that knows what to show." Unlike generic media-player
> CMS products, mAI Screen drives content decisions from real operational
> data — products, prices, inventory, sales and store state — flowing in from
> the mAI ecosystem (SmartCashier POS, mAI Loyalty, mAI Engage, mAI
> Visibility). When a product sells out at the till, the screen knows.

Greek-first product by Retail Management Solutions (Maroussi, Athens, Greece),
sold in Greece and the EU. Admin, player and AI output are bilingual (Greek
and English) — the language can be set per screen. Also referred to
internally as "mAI Signage".

## What it does

1. **Media library** — images, video, audio, PDF, HTML packages, live web
   pages and widgets, organised in folders with tags. Every upload is
   malware-scanned (ClamAV) and type-checked before it can ever reach a
   screen; video duration is detected automatically.
2. **Layout designer** — a drag-and-drop canvas with up to 20 zones per
   layout: images, video, text, shapes, scannable QR codes, clock, countdown
   (store-local time, Greek/English), embedded web pages, scrolling tickers
   (including RSS) and dynamic fields bound to real data (e.g. a product's
   price that updates itself). Percentage-based geometry adapts one layout to
   any resolution and orientation. Industry templates (retail promo, menu
   board, price list, social proof, opening hours) in landscape and portrait.
3. **Playlists & campaigns** — playlists with per-item duration, transitions,
   validity windows, weekdays, time windows and weighted shuffle. Campaigns
   with a full approval workflow, targeting by screen / store / store group /
   tag, priorities, landscape/portrait creative variants, A/B variants, and
   schedules resolved in each store's local timezone with blackout dates.
   Fallback chain guarantees no black screens.
4. **Live data on screen** — POS/ERP connectors (SmartCashier, CSV, an open
   connector framework); canonical product/price/inventory/sales models; a
   sold-out product is replaced on screen automatically; secure BI dashboards
   (Grafana, Power BI, Tableau) with server-side encrypted credentials.
5. **AI Studio** — the AI Campaign Creator turns a natural-language request
   into a ready campaign (layout + playlist) built from real product data,
   always landing in "awaiting approval": nothing reaches a screen without a
   human click. A Brand Kit (colours, tone, approved/forbidden phrases,
   disclaimers) constrains every AI output; the AI is explicitly forbidden
   from claiming discounts, deadlines or stock the data does not support.
   AI translations, per-job usage/cost metering, and an MCP server exposing
   15+ controlled tools to external AI agents. Edge AI on devices is limited
   to a closed allowlist (people counting, queues, attention) — facial
   recognition is structurally impossible, raw images never leave the device.
6. **Player everywhere, offline-first** — one rendering engine hosted on
   Android (ready APK), Raspberry Pi / Linux (managed kiosk agent), any
   browser/PC (PWA), plus Samsung Tizen and LG webOS packages. All content is
   downloaded locally with sha256 verification and activated atomically; if
   the internet drops the screen keeps playing and statistics buffer locally.
   A 5-level watchdog ladder brings screens back on their own.
7. **Fleet management** — pairing by short code, rich telemetry (network,
   storage, temperature, GPS), remote commands (screenshot, sync, restart,
   volume, orientation), automatic self-healing policies, staged update
   rollouts with rollback, video walls up to 8×8 with bezel compensation,
   mirror sync groups, energy schedules (on/off, brightness) with a
   consumption report, alerts and staff problem reporting, and a map of all
   screens.
8. **Interactivity** — a 13-source sensor framework (NFC, RFID, BLE, barcode,
   GPIO, buttons, weight, proximity, people counter, queue, camera, REST,
   MQTT) with trigger rules; the flagship flow is lift-and-learn: a customer
   lifts a product and the nearby screen shows its details instantly, even
   without cloud connectivity. Presentation mode: wireless WebRTC casting
   from a laptop to any screen with a code.
9. **Emergency broadcasting** — pre-approved templates with severity and CAP
   categories, activation globally / per store / per tag / per screen, drill
   mode, CAP webhook ingestion for civil-protection feeds; templates are
   embedded in every device manifest so alarms work even offline.
10. **Analytics** — proof-of-play with offline buffering and CSV export,
    reports per campaign/screen/content, an operations dashboard with a
    screen map, and sales attribution comparing the campaign window with the
    preceding equal window — honestly labelled as correlation.
11. **Retail media network** — sell screen time to suppliers and brands:
    advertiser accounts with restricted access, media slots with
    share-of-voice caps and floor prices, bookings with frequency caps and
    store/platform revenue sharing, store approval, and proof-of-play-backed
    delivery reports with billing export lines.
12. **Governance for chains** — multi-tenant with strict isolation (plus
    Postgres row-level security), 9 roles / 44 permissions, federated
    publishing policies for franchises (what a store may publish locally and
    with what approval), brand compliance checks (forbidden phrases, palette,
    minimum font size), template field locks, per-asset content rights
    (licence dates, countries, screen limits — expiry takes content down
    automatically), full audit log, API keys, public REST API with OpenAPI,
    webhooks and an extensions SDK.

## Pricing and access

- Subscription pricing has **not been announced yet**. If asked about
  specific prices, the honest answer is that pricing will be published soon
  and early access is currently arranged by contact (i.kotrotsios@rm.gr).

## What it is NOT

- Not a generic media-player CMS: its differentiator is content driven by
  real operational data from the store.
- Not a surveillance product: edge AI has a closed use-case allowlist and
  facial/biometric identification is structurally impossible by design.
- AI never publishes to screens autonomously — human approval is mandatory.
