# Introduction
> Discover Tessact’s multi-agent media platform, its core value drivers, and the deployment models that let you run workflows and AI agents at any scale.
## What is Tessact?
Tessact is a **media-operations platform powered by a network of AI agents**.\
You bring any media—video, audio, images—and Tessact orchestrates specialised agents (generative and analytical) to perform tasks such as:
* **Editing & remixing** videos into multiple aspect ratios
* **Auto-generating YouTube thumbnails** with brand-safe graphics
* **Writing blog posts** or social captions based on spoken content
* **Detecting compliance issues** like nudity or profanity
* **Running manual review layers** when human sign-off is required
Agents work on top of an operational layer of **workflows** and **projects**, so you design processes once and reuse them across teams. Tessact also integrates third-party AI providers, making it the single hub where all your media operations happen.
Think of Tessact as your **media “control room”**—a place where first-party and third-party agents collaborate to ingest, transform, review, and publish content.

## How Tessact Fits into Your Workflow
1. **Ingest**\
Upload files directly or connect cloud storage/watch folders.
2. **Agent Workflows**\
Tessact assigns relevant AI agents—transcription, compliance, generative thumbnail, blog writer—according to your workflow definition.
3. **Manual Review (Optional)**\
Route outputs to reviewers for approval or correction before continuing.
4. **Publish & Distribute**\
Export in preset formats, push to CMS, or downstream pipelines.
Use the **Workflow Builder** to drag-and-drop agents—first party or third party—into any sequence, then set conditional branches and approval gates.

## Deployment & Licensing Options
| Model | Description | When to choose |
| ------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
| **SaaS (default)** | Fully-managed, multi-tenant cloud; continuous updates. | Fastest time to value. |
| **Customer Cloud** | Tessact deployed entirely inside your AWS or GCP account; you control VPC, IAM, and billing. | Need full cloud sovereignty with minimal on-prem footprint. |
| **Hybrid Cloud** | Media stays in your object store; compute runs in Tessact Cloud. | Reduce egress costs or comply with data-residency policies. |
| **On-Prem** | Tessact nodes run in your data centre/private cloud. | Broadcast or defence environments with strict compliance. |
Licensing is subscription-based, metered by **seats + monthly content volume**. Custom enterprise plans include SLA guarantees, dedicated support, and volume pricing.
On-prem and Customer-Cloud deployments require GPU nodes that meet Tessact’s hardware reference (NVIDIA A10 or higher).
