FYI, a pioneer in creative technology solutions today announced the introduction of RAiDiO.FYI, a new conversational AI platform that turns the airwaves into interactive media via a new dimension of connection to music, talk radio, and cultural content.

Putting the Ai into RAiDiO and STAiTioN, RAiDiO.FYI is ready to transform the industry, busting through the walls of traditional one-way media limitations. Every listener can now be an active participant, as well as a creator of their own station that refreshes dynamically as fast as the web, exploring passions and interests on a much deeper level.

The reveal of RAiDiO.FYI took place at the Grammy Museum during a Q&A discussion, “Black Music Past, Present and Future and the Impact of Technology” between will.i.am, Founder & CEO of FYI and Harvey Mason jr., CEO of The Recording Academy.

Powered by FYI, RAiDiO.FYI is evolving broadcasting into hyper-casting, bringing information to life, inviting people to chat with their radio stations, to interrupt anytime to ask the station questions about the music, the stories behind the beats, and delve deeper into the news, sports, culture, fashion, etc. Curated channels featuring exclusive content will be available across a range of interests, elevating every listener into an active participant in a living info-verse.

In an ultra-interactive engaging way, RAiDiO allows the listener to flow as deep as they want as the world unfolds, and vibe with the music in the most dynamic way imaginable.”
