Following the groundbreaking introduction of Agentic AI at IBC 2025, Witbe continues to push the boundaries of AI-powered testing and monitoring with the launch of Agentic SDK at NAB 2026, its unified automation framework. At IBC 2026, Witbe went further with Witbe VLMs, purpose-built Vision Language Models trained on real testing scenarios, from set-top box interfaces to Smart TV playback issues.

Agentic SDK represents the next evolution of hybrid automation. It combines selective AI intelligence with deterministic, algorithm-driven validation built on years of Witbe expertise working alongside the world’s leading broadcasters, OTT platforms, and service providers. Instead of replacing proven automation logic, Witbe enhances it: applying agentic AI where flexibility and intelligence is required, while preserving the reliability, transparency, and KPI-driven validation demanded in production environments.

Witbe VLMs are built on this same testing data: on applications they have never seen before, they perform on par with frontier models, while running faster and costing less per test.

At NAB Show 2027, Witbe will demonstrate how four connected layers form a single AI-native infrastructure for testing and monitoring streaming services:

• Witbox for real-device execution across Smart TVs, set-top boxes, mobile devices, and browsers
• Agentic SDK for hybrid automation that combines agentic AI with deterministic logic, now enhanced with Witbe VLMs for faster, lower-cost test execution
• REC (Remote Eye Controller) for real-time operational control — including natural language interaction with your testing infrastructure, powered by Witbe VLMs
• Smartgate for intelligent analysis that detects, explains, and prioritizes issues automatically, powered by Witbe VLMs

Together, these layers replace traditional script-based workflows with an infrastructure that adapts, scales, and delivers visibility across devices, apps, and markets. On every test, you control how much AI does the work, from 0% to 100%, with results always anchored in real devices and recorded video evidence.

As our technology evolves at an unprecedented pace, NAB will be the place to experience what’s next. Expect to see: more intelligent automation, deeper visibility, and even faster operational workflows across real devices.

Come see how far AI-powered testing and monitoring has already progressed, and what’s about to change next.
