A Journalist AI alternative built to publish.
Mastheads is built to run the publishing operation: finding what is worth covering, researching it, writing from real sources, checking the claims and publishing 40 to 300 articles a month in your publication's voice.
Journalist AI, rebranded Arvow, is an SEO autoblogging platform: brief it once and it writes and publishes on a schedule, alongside on-page SEO automation, backlink exchange and a tracker for where a brand appears across AI answers. Mastheads starts with the newsroom.
Journalist AI and Mastheads look alike from a distance: both publish on a schedule without you. I built the part that decides whether what publishes can carry your name.
Mastheads starts with the publishing operation.
By default, a Mastheads article begins with sources, goes through claim-level checks and finishes with the result written on the piece; if something cannot be verified, the article says so; if nobody reviews an AI-published article, Mastheads discloses that too.
Arvow's own pages say its writer produces content described as factual, with external links to authoritative sources built in automatically. What they do not describe, on any of the pages read for this comparison, is a check of those claims against those sources or a record of what was verified. Auto-publishing runs on a schedule by default; editing an article is something you may do before or after it goes out, not a gate it has to pass first.
Arvow optimizes for uniqueness, on-page SEO and where a brand appears across AI answers. Mastheads is built around the publishing operation itself.

Built like a newsroom, not just a content tool.
Sourced by default
By default, every article begins with real sources. Those sources are checked for the story, date and substance before writing begins. If a topic cannot be properly sourced, it is dropped rather than padded.
With Research on, no source means no article.
A real editor of record
Nothing publishes anonymously. Each article carries a real named byline and a human editor of record, accountable for editorial standards, source policy, and disputes - the person whose name is on the door.
Review by default; auto-publish you can defend
Every claim is checked against its sources and the result is written on the article, and nothing ships silently. Auto-publish is opt-in and runs the very same checks - trustworthy when it's unattended, not merely unchecked.
Compliance built in, not bolted on
EU AI Act Article 50 disclosure on anything published unattended, self-serve GDPR export and account deletion with access and correction on request, a registered DMCA agent, and cover images we draw rather than take off the open web, so there is no stock-image rights question to clear - standard on every plan.
A newsroom in any language
Any language, for any country - written in its own grammar and idiom rather than translated, held to the same quality bar, all under one subscription. Where we curate a local newsroom register, it takes that too.
Your content, never locked in
A pull API, and one-click export to WordPress WXR, Ghost, and Markdown with every image. You own the articles outright - no royalty, no attribution back to us.
Under the hood: it discovers stories in your niche, writes them in your voice, fact-checks against sources, illustrates, and publishes to your CMS, on your schedule.
