How to Use Generative AI for Instant Media Creation

Easily generate media with our optional AI tool, powered by green serverless compute

Overview

Keeping your digital screens fresh, engaging, and relevant takes time—and managing those displays shouldn't require a full-time graphic design team. To eliminate the "blank canvas syndrome," we have introduced a new Generative AI feature.

Whether you need to generate mouth-watering background art for a pizza shop special, welcoming graphics for an assisted living facility, or quick visual updates for corporate HR, our AI serves as your on-demand design assistant.

How to Generate Media with AI

Our AI tool is built seamlessly into your existing workflow. Follow these steps to generate custom media in seconds:

  1. Navigate to your Dashboard
  2. Ensure you're in 'Create' mode; you can find that in the top right of Manager
  3. Enter Your Prompt: Type a simple sentence describing what you want to see (e.g., "A calming, professional waiting room graphic for an urgent care clinic reminding patients about flu shots").
  4. Generate and review: The model will generate your high-fidelity image within a few minutes depending upon how complicated the ask is. You can do other things in Manager while it goes to work. When it's done you'll see the design appear on screen.
  5. Add any finishing touches; then and Publish to Media, Broadcast or Download a copy

Our Commitment to Sustainable, Energy-Efficient AI

We recognize that adding AI to a product comes with valid concerns about its environmental footprint and energy consumption. That is why we didn't just plug into a standard provider. We intentionally architected this feature to be highly efficient and green:

  • Zero Idle Waste (Serverless Architecture): Our AI tool, powered by fal.ai, runs on a completely serverless infrastructure. This means our GPUs never sit idle burning electricity; they only use power for the 5–10 seconds you are actively generating media, scaling down to zero immediately after.
  • Reasoning-Guided Models (Less Waste): We utilize advanced models (specifically Nano Banana) designed around a "think first, render second" framework. By logically planning the composition before generating, these models drastically reduce the need for endless, energy-wasting regenerations. You get a highly accurate image on the first try.
  • Eco-Conscious Cloud Infrastructure: Our entire platform operates out of the US East hub on an enterprise-grade cloud network (Microsoft Azure) that is aggressively committed to a carbon-negative, zero-waste future.

Best of all, this sustainable architecture allows us to maintain our world-class, fully transparent reliability. You can monitor our impeccable uptime anytime at status.displaynow.io.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is the AI feature mandatory? No. Utilizing Generative AI is completely optional. You can continue uploading your own graphics, videos, and media just as you always have.

Can I choose which AI model generates my images? We believe in giving our users transparency and control. In upcoming releases, we will let you choose your model and provide built in guidance to choose the right model to best meet your needs.
