One of the biggest barriers organizations face when launching new digital signage content is just getting started. When you lack formal design skills, facing a blank screen can feel daunting. Korbyt has always aimed to make this easier with pre-built templates and support from our team members, who often build custom templates and configure advanced layouts to suit customer needs. But AI has transformed the way our team approaches content creation.
As a Solutions Engineer at Korbyt, Josh Maydon is deeply involved in bringing digital signage projects to life. So, when CreateAI launched, Josh was one of the first to explore its potential as a tool for accelerating that setup work.
We sat down with him to understand more about how AI agents are helping Korbyt customers save time, shorten the onboarding stage, and become expert content creators.
New Starting Point: From Blank Canvas to Prompt-Driven Design
Before CreateAI, content creation for digital signage often meant building from scratch. Josh would spend time assembling layouts, adding design elements, sourcing the right image, and aligning with customer brand guidelines. Now, he says, “I can start with CreateAI, generate a solid starting point, and then quickly arrange or tweak things—without having to build the whole layout from the ground up.”
With just a few well-formed prompts—enhanced by CreateAI’s own AI-assisted suggestions—Josh can generate layout options and media content in seconds. From there, he can easily swap in customer-provided media if needed. Applying brand colors and fonts is straightforward—he simply inputs them once, and they carry through to each output.
“A few prompts will get you most of the way there—then it’s just about narrowing in on what the customer really wants.”
Modifying Existing Images to Stay On-Brand
CreateAI’s AI-powered image modification feature makes it easier for customers and designers to work with approved brand visuals. Instead of starting from square one, teams can take an existing corporate-approved image and quickly adapt it for new campaigns or workplace communications—without losing brand consistency.
For example, a marketing team can repurpose a campaign image for a regional office update, or a designer can enhance visuals to match a new initiative. Because everything happens within the same platform, edits stay on-brand, content is ready for multi-channel use, and teams save even more time in the process.
Speeding Up Feedback Loops
Josh often works directly with customers to build content that aligns with their goals. What once took multiple rounds of design and revision now happens in near real time.
“CreateAI is the ultimate feedback tool. I can give customers something tangible to respond to much faster,” he says. “That means we spend less time on setup and more time fine-tuning content to what they actually want.”
The difference shows up in measurable time savings:
- Projects that once required eight hours can now be completed in as little as three hours.
- A layout that might have taken two hours now comes together in 30 minutes.
That agility helps customers feel ownership of the content faster. And it frees up time for Josh to move on to other tasks, like dynamic content integrations, data-driven playlists, or interactive wayfinding.
Bypassing the Basics, Accelerating the Complex
One of the clear benefits of using CreateAI is that it helps teams leapfrog the early hurdles of content creation—in other words, it provides a jump start to the creative process. Josh sees this every day during his project calls and working sessions with customers.
“CreateAI does the heavy lifting of getting started,” Josh says. “It lets users skip a lot of the training they’d normally need for layout and design basics.”
With CreateAI, Josh can help customers generate a polished layout in minutes instead of walking through how to assemble a branded template from scratch. That lets customers focus their attention on using and customizing content—not learning how to build it from the ground up.
“I remember telling Ankur [our CEO], after I realized it: Many of our customers could pretty much run all their signage using this tool.”
A Designer’s Toolkit, Democratized
For Josh, it’s rewarding to see non-designers become confident content creators.
“CreateAI makes design accessible to everyone—even if you’ve never touched layout tools before,” he says.
That empowerment isn’t just about making tasks easier to complete—it’s about expanding what customers believe they can do. Whether they’re in IT, facilities, or internal communications, CreateAI unlocks creative potential without requiring a design background.
The Future of Content Creation Is Collaborative
Josh’s experience illustrates what’s possible when AI becomes part of the everyday workflow: speed, scale, and creative confidence. For him and the customers he supports, CreateAI isn’t just a shortcut. It’s a smarter starting point.
If you’re a Korbyt customer, we encourage you to start experimenting with our AI agents—like CreateAI—and explore the possibilities. Our team is constantly evaluating the tool’s capabilities and capturing feedback from those who use it, and we want to hear from you.
