How an article happens
The staged newsroom every article moves through, from discovery to publish.
Every article - autonomous or commissioned - moves through the same staged pipeline. No stage is skippable, including for us.
Discovery
The newsroom looks for stories worth covering in your sections: your topics, your geography, your moment. If you set a coverage area, it looks there first. You can watch what it is finding in Trending now.
Nothing runs around the clock on your behalf. On demand, the search happens when you ask for it. An autonomous newsroom looks on the scheduled times you set. Discovery runs on a clock you control rather than idling in the background, which is also why it never spends without a reason you gave it.
Sourcing, with a vet
Before a word is written, an AI judge checks every candidate source against the specific story: same event, right date window, real substance. Paywall stubs, multi-story digests, and off-topic pages are rejected. A topic that cannot be properly sourced is dropped, not padded.
Drafting, in your voice
A writer drafts the article in your configured voice, under one of your named bylines - tone, reading level, point of view, and style guide all come from your voice setup.
Independent quality gates
Separate checks cross-check the draft's claims against its sources and enforce format and SEO rules. Any gate can hold the article back for your review - a held article costs you one click to approve, edit, or discard. Nothing ships silently.
Image
An on-topic cover image is drawn for the article, and it carries a visible credit saying it was generated. We never take a picture off the open web. If one genuinely can't be made, it is retried first, and only then does the article ship without a picture rather than waiting on one.
Delivery
The finished article publishes to your CMS inside your publish window, or lands as a draft if the edition is draft-only. Every delivered article carries an authenticity trace: the sources it used, the checks it passed, the editor of record.
