OptiDev: Our New Custom App Builder Using the Power of AI

Our newest product, OptiDev, is now available within OptiSigns!

One of the most common requests we get here at OptiSigns is the ability to integrate with various applications to automatically display specific information on your digital signs. 

To that end, we’ve made dedicated integrations with dozens of apps from across the spectrum. Our API integration, Enterprise App, and our proprietary OptiSync feature were designed to bridge the gap between our dedicated integrations and custom ones based on your use cases.

OptiDev is the next, logical progression of that. Using the power of AI, a custom-built application is just minutes away. Anything you want to display can now be built quickly and easily, with added security benefits.

Powerful, Yet Simple Creation and Display

With a few simple phrases, it is possible to set up complex projects or simple displays. Here are just a few types of integrations or displays you can make:

  • Custom dashboards, with full integration to any platform (with relevant API access).
    • Anything from PIP boards, to sales information, to KPI tracking, to factory output management…and more. The sky is the limit.
  • Calendars, project management tools, employee birthday trackers, and other relevant HR or safety information.
  • Digital menu boards with up-to-date pricing and complete integration with POS systems.
  • Internal websites, company portals, 
  • Display, informational, sales, or check-in kiosks. Can be customized by intended display device.
  • Interactive games or educational content.

Jump-start your ideas quickly with Prompt Library and Templates and simple guides on how to use them. You'll not only build an app but also ramp up quickly on how to work with the platform and AI Agent.

Safe, Secure Display of Critical Information

Since OptiSigns and OptiDev share security frameworks, it’s possible to publish OptiDev projects to OptiSigns without ever making the project public. Here are just a few of these security features:

  • Secure integration between the two platforms ensures KPIs and business information are displayed only on authorized screens
  • AI agents connect using read-only API keys or database access, reducing risk compared to building custom applications
  • AI enables intelligent data analysis and automated creation of screen-ready dashboards
  • Quickly connect APIs and generate polished dashboards from XML and JSON feeds, Stripe, Shopify, BigQuery, Microsoft SharePoint, and more, ready for display on TVs with no external exposure

Publishing from OptiDev to OptiSigns is extraordinarily easy. With a single click, you’ll receive a URL you can use within OptiSigns, while keeping the app itself private.

The OptiDev platform itself includes:

  • SAML SSO for centralized authentication, which works with Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, Google Workspace, and other major SAML providers
  • Fully SOC 2 compliant to meet strict data security standards
  • Data residency options to support regional regulations
  • Scalable infrastructure managed by Oracle Cloud and Amazon AWS
