Summary
France Télévisions Publicité, the third-largest advertising sales house in French broadcasting, has deployed a generative AI tool called Med IA to manage the roughly 11,000 advertising spot changes it must process each year, caused by contingencies such as strikes, fires or extended matches. Presented at the Dataiku Summit by Pascal Laffut (the sales house's CTO) and Didier Richaudeau (Equancy), the tool automatically reads and structures requests received by email before passing them to technicians. The architecture relies on Dataiku for orchestration, Snowflake and Azure for data, and OpenAI's LLM. According to Richaudeau, 95% of requests are processed automatically, with the remaining 5% referred to a human. The sales house is aiming for 100% traceability, shorter turnaround times and greater productivity with a constant headcount, while also reducing operator stress.
