About Cuez

Cuez (formerly TinkerList) is a browser-based suite for planning and running live TV, radio, streaming, and event productions. Teams write scripts and rundowns together in real time, trigger studio equipment from the rundown with the no-code Automator, and run a story-centric newsroom with Storydesk. It is built by a Leuven, Belgium company founded by former TV director Erik Hauters.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Script and rundown live in one synchronized document, so editorial and technical crews never work from different versions
Fully browser-based with no installs, which suits remote and distributed productions
Automator drives a wide range of broadcast gear from the rundown without writing code, enabling one-operator shows
MOS Connector and Blockz let ENPS and iNEWS newsrooms adopt Cuez automation without replacing their NRCS
Storydesk supports any LLM, keeping AI-assisted newsroom work on the customer's own model and data
Used by broadcasters such as ITN and Proximus Media House as well as universities and esports producers

Cons

No public pricing; every plan requires a demo and a sales quote
Built for broadcast and live-event teams, so it is overkill for simple podcast or webinar run-of-show needs
Prompter and some other modules are sold separately from the core rundown
Automator setup still requires familiarity with studio hardware and device APIs
Few public user reviews on major software review sites

Key Features

Cloud Script & Rundown

Combines the script and running order into one synchronized Episode that every team member edits live in the browser, with episode templates, reusable content blocks, and media embedded in the script.

Timing controls

Shows On Air/Off Air times, estimated durations, and block-level timings so producers can track whether a live or recorded show is running on time.

Cuez Automator

No-code control layer that turns rundown items into timed triggers for playout servers, graphics engines, switchers, PTZ cameras, audio, and lighting via open API.

Storydesk NRCS

Story-centric newsroom system with wire and RSS aggregation, assignment desk, built-in team chat, media placeholders, and multi-channel publishing to web, social, and linear.

Bring-your-own LLM

Storydesk ranks incoming stories, suggests edits, fact-checks, and adjusts tone using the language model of the customer's choice, so newsroom data stays under their control.

Cuez Prompter

Browser-based teleprompter that syncs word for word with the Episode on any device, controllable by keyboard, Stream Deck, presenter, or ShuttleXpress jog wheel (add-on module).

Blockz and MOS Connector

Lets newsrooms on ENPS, iNEWS, or another MOS-based NRCS use Cuez Automator and a shared library of automation templates without migrating systems.

Browz media connector

Searches, previews, and inserts assets from multiple MAMs, watch folders, and local storage directly inside the rundown, with proxy-aware file handling.

Public read-only links

Shares an always-current, read-only version of an Episode with people outside the project instead of static PDFs or printouts.

Broad hardware and software integrations

Connects to vMix, TriCaster, CasparCG, Vizrt, Ross XPression, Chyron, EVS, Blackmagic Design, OBS, Avid, Grass Valley AMPP, Panasonic and Sony PTZ, and more.
