# Cleeng AI Assistant Wins Future's Best of Show Award, Presented by TV Tech
Company News | Cleeng | Apr 22, 2026
*Cleeng's industry-first cross-platform AI agents recognized for innovation in subscriber retention management at NAB Show 2026*
LAS VEGAS, April 22, 2026 — [Cleeng AI Assistant](https://cleeng.com/ai-assistant), developed by Cleeng, the Subscriber Retention Management (SRM®) pioneer, is the winner of Future's Best of Show Award, presented at the 2026 NAB Show by TV Tech.
Future's Best of Show Awards are evaluated by a panel of engineers and industry experts, and are selected based on innovation, feature set, perceived value, and application in serving the industry.
Cleeng AI Assistant is the industry's first suite of cross-platform AI agents purpose-built for streaming and D2C subscription businesses. Spanning customer acquisition, retention, and win-back, the agents unify data, decision-making, and campaign execution in a single platform — creating offers, triggering campaigns, and surfacing at-risk cohorts automatically across web, iOS, Android, Roku, and telco platforms. Recommendations are grounded in behavioral insights from over 54 million subscribers, 250 million subscription lifecycle events, and more than 1,000 publishers across 200+ countries and territories — intelligence that no generic AI layer can replicate.
*"The products nominated for the Best of Show program provide an outstanding overview of new technology on the show floor and shine a spotlight on the very best,"* said the awards editorial team.
*"Rising customer acquisition costs and intensifying competition mean that retention isn't just a priority — it's an imperative for survival,"* said Gilles Domartini, Founder and CEO, Cleeng. *"Our AI agents are built on 15 years of domain expertise, and we're proud to see that depth of subscriber retention logic and proprietary data recognized at NAB. This award reflects what we've believed: that a genuinely integrated, domain-specific AI platform will outperform a generic AI layer bolted onto fragmented data."*
