One of the commitments we made when we started The Wire was transparency. Not just about what we've built, but about where we're going. This is our public roadmap — not a promise sheet with dates, but a map of the territory we intend to cover.
Things will shift. Priorities will change based on what our early users tell us. But the direction is clear, and we want you to see it.
Building now
● Active developmentServer-side GPU compositing
Ant Media Server on dedicated EC2 instances replaces the browser canvas compositor. Hardware H.264 encoding via NVIDIA GPU eliminates the CPU starvation issue that forced us to 720p. This is the single biggest architectural upgrade in Conductor's pipeline — it's what makes 1080p30 reliable and opens the door to everything else on this list.
Watch page demo readiness
Stream plays when live, viewer count visible in director stats, polished design matching our v4 mockup. The watch page is the audience's entire experience — it needs to be flawless before the first demo.
Screen share as production input
Guest calls screen share, it appears as a named source tile in the director's input panel. Replaces PDF slide upload for pharma and corporate presentations. The director takes it to program like any other source.
Director UI polish sprint
Signal Health panel rework, TRT counter in the streaming badge, full-width anodized TAKE button treatment. The director interface should feel like a precision instrument, not a web app.
Up next
● After first demoVisual theming system
CSS variable expansion across the watch page, theme picker in the Command Center, brand color picker with dual gradient support, logo and banner mode selector, background environment upload. Every show looks like the client's brand, not ours.
Multi-destination streaming
Output configuration UI in the Command Center. Go Live activates all configured destinations simultaneously — the branded watch page, YouTube, LinkedIn, custom RTMP endpoints. Per-destination signal health in the director stats panel.
RTMP and SRT ingest
Expose per-show RTMP and SRT endpoints so hardware encoders — OBS, vMix, Wirecast, Magewell, Teradek — can push directly into Conductor as named production inputs. This is the bridge between Conductor Cloud and the physical broadcast world.
AI show setup
Describe your event in plain language. AI configures the rundown, pre-loads graphics templates, creates guest slots, and sets show parameters. From "I'm hosting a 90-minute oncology advisory board with 4 KOLs" to a fully configured show in 30 seconds.
ISO recording engine
Per-tile MediaRecorder capturing each participant individually. Upload to Supabase Storage. Multi-track assembly for post-production. This is an Enterprise/Managed tier feature — every source recorded independently, every angle available for editing.
On the horizon
● Future visionReal-time AI voice translation
Speaker audio transcribed, translated, and delivered in the viewer's language in under a second. 50+ languages. The longer-term vision: voice cloning, so the translation is spoken in the original speaker's voice. Built on Deepgram for STT, GPT-4o for translation, and ElevenLabs for TTS.
Conductor Studio — native macOS
The Mac equivalent of what vMix is for Windows. Native Apple Silicon with Metal GPU compositing, NDI in/out, Blackmagic capture card support, ProRes recording, and all the Conductor workflow features in a desktop application. For production companies and broadcast facilities that need local infrastructure.
Conductor Stage — AI virtual production
The AI layer that runs across both Cloud and Studio. MediaPipe background replacement without a green screen. WebGL relighting and animated set transitions tied to rundown segments. Eye contact correction. Full virtual production sets that change automatically as the show progresses — opening set to panel set to closing set.
AI director assistance
Automatic camera switching suggestions based on speaker activity, engagement signals, and beat detection. Highlight detection and clip extraction during the live show. Post-show AI assembly with chapter markers generated from the rundown. The director's AI co-pilot.
PTZ camera control
VISCA over IP directly from the director interface. Pan, tilt, and zoom controls for compatible cameras, combined with AI framing assistance. A single operator can run a multi-camera production from a browser tab.
What's not on this list
We're deliberately not building a social platform, a content management system, or a video hosting service. Conductor is a production tool. It makes live content. It doesn't store it, curate it, or distribute it beyond the live moment (ISO recording aside). There are excellent tools for post-production, hosting, and distribution. We integrate with them rather than replacing them.
We're also not building for the creator economy — at least not initially. Solo streamers on Twitch have different needs than a pharma company running a KOL advisory board. Both are valid. We're starting with the market that has the most acute pain and the highest willingness to pay for a professional solution.
Shape this with us
This roadmap is a conversation, not a decree. If you're producing live events and something on this list would change your workflow, tell us. If something is missing that would make you switch to Conductor tomorrow, we want to know.
The best products are built with the people who use them. We're building Conductor in the open because we believe that's how you get it right.
