AIDA DXP
Assistant for newspapers
AIDA DXP is the Design Assistant with Artificial Intelligence that automates the layout of your printed edition based on the content published on the web.
AIDA DXP is the definitive solution for newsrooms with a web-first workflow, allowing newspapers to automate the layout of printed publications based on what has already been published on the web. The solution offers three levels of automation: from drag and drop on a user-selected layout to automatic layout of complete news listings.
Not only does this technology give layout designers more time to focus on creativity, it also helps journalists meet their tight print deadlines. The struggle to have last-minute information ready to print is already history.
What can AIDA DXP do for your organization?
Three progressive automation options that adapt to any writing workflow:
If you have empty catalog forms assigned in your template, with a simple drag and drop, AIDA Basic identifies all the items in the article and transforms them into an article ready to be sent to print.
When you choose a news article from your website and, using drag and drop, place it on a page of your template without content, AIDA DXP chooses the best template based on a series of preferences and parameters previously defined in the settings.
With the list of URLs you want to layout for your print edition and a previous configuration, AIDA Pro creates a complete publication ready to be sent to print, making all the necessary adjustments.
Benefits of AIDA DXP
Although publishing teams focus on digital publishing, thanks to AIDA DXP, the process of automating print layout is a significant time-saver for the publishing team, allowing designers to focus on producing valuable content for their audiences.
Our Design Assistant with Artificial Intelligence automatically models each news article according to the design of the publication. This is possible thanks to a previous custom configuration process that is carried out with each editor.
AIDA DXP automatically adapts and models the content of web news for printing. However, editors and layout designers always have control over this layout proposal. What you see is what you get. Changes are reflected in real time in the layout.
We employ an agile methodology for implementation, integration and training. However, all projects require planning adapted to each team.
AIDA DXP includes a specific training plan for the team to autonomously use the tool. Protecmedia offers 24/7 support to answer any questions and assist you whenever you need it.
Main features
AIDA Basic
AIDA Basic allows you to drag and drop a web article into an existing page layout. In this first level, the user starts from a page design selected for a specific space and chooses the web news. Simply by dragging and dropping, the system identifies all the elements of the web news and adapts them to the selected print model. When the article is dragged from the browser to the existing model, a series of text auto-adjustment options and boxes are automatically applied so that the model adapts as best as possible to the content of the article, thus minimizing user intervention.
AIDA Advanced
AIDA Advanced allows you to drag a web article to an empty page without layout. The AI itself, when dragging web news to paper, selects the catalog template that best suits them, automatically adjusting each component. We just have to choose the news that is going to be printed and drag it to where we want it to appear. The system automatically locates the catalog item that best suits the article, based on the options configured in each item, and then applies the text and box auto-adjustment options so that the layout adapts to the contents.
AIDA Pro
With the third level comes complete automation. To the above functions, the Design Assistant with Artificial Intelligence at the Pro level adds the possibility of selecting a list of URLs so that the layout is done automatically. Starting from an empty template, AIDA Pro will select the most appropriate catalog templates for each URL and adjust the contents, so that user intervention is minimal. This system can layout 15 pages in an average time of 45 seconds, exponentially accelerating the process compared to traditional layout.
