Peacock is making strategic enhancements to its mobile app, focusing on AI and mobile-first entertainment. At a recent press event, Peacock showcased:

  • An AI-powered "Bravoverse" vertical video experience using a digital avatar of Andy Cohen. This feature aims to engage Bravo fans by curating personalized playlists from over 5,000 hours of Bravo content, powered by computer vision and fan behavior analysis.

  • Upcoming vertical live NBA broadcasts, offering innovative ways to consume sports content on mobile devices, utilizing real-time cropping powered by AI.

  • Expansion of its short-form video feature with plans to create a dedicated vertical section inspired by platforms like TikTok.

  • Additional gaming experiences in partnership with Wolf Games, co-founded by Elliot Wolf, focusing on mystery-solving games within the "Law & Order" franchise.

  • Launch of daily trivia experiences based on "Jeopardy!" complemented by existing games.

These initiatives reflect a broader strategy to transform Peacock from a traditional streaming platform into a more interactive and engaging digital space. Despite its growth to 44 million subscribers, Peacock reported a $552 million loss in Q4 2025, reflecting the ongoing challenges in the competitive streaming landscape.
