In this case study, Serienwerft offers an inside look at how AI-supported tools are being integrated into high-volume series production. Using the tool RECAP, developed by Decamerone, the team explores its application within the writer’s room and across production planning for the long-running daily drama ROTE ROSEN.

The session examines how RECAP supports the structuring and summarisation of narrative material, streamlining communication between departments and enabling more efficient coordination of complex storylines. A particular focus lies on how such tools impact workloads and workflows: What tasks are accelerated, which roles are reshaped, and where new dependencies emerge.

Looking beyond the immediate use case, Serienwerft also reflects on the broader implications for productions with high output rhythms. As daily and long-running formats face increasing pressure to deliver efficiently without compromising quality, AI-driven tools like RECAP may fundamentally reshape production planning.
