Research & verification infrastructure

The future of journalism isn't less research – it's more.

News agencies deliver information. Our platform researches further: it weighs relevance, checks facts, adds company and market data and produces ready-to-publish drafts. So newsrooms regain time for the journalism no AI can replace.

The problem

Research is dying.

Not because newsrooms don't want it.

But because they can less and less afford it.

  1. Yesterday
    • Own research
    • Multiple sources
    • Fact checking
    • Time for context
  2. Today
    • Reuters
    • dpa
    • AFP
    • Copy editing
    • SEO left undone
  3. Tomorrow
    • AI takes over research
    • The journalist provides the context

What holds newsrooms back today

Agency dependence

Most newsrooms pay high licensing fees every year for agency wire stories that nearly every competitor publishes as well.

Research costs time

Every story has to be verified, contextualized and expanded. That time is missing for exclusive journalism.

Content barely differs

When everyone uses the same agency wire, barely any differentiating content emerges. Competition no longer happens through research.

Reach left on the table

Hundreds of relevant topics emerge every day. Most are never published.

The contradiction

The market earns billions …

The world pays billions every year for market data.

≈ $6bnLSEG
≈ $5bnS&P Global

And yet many newsrooms end up writing almost identical articles.

The problem isn't missing information. It's missing time.

Time to

researchcompareverifycontextualize

That's exactly the process we automate.

Our manifesto

We don't believe journalism fails for lack of information.

It fails for lack of time to research.

Newsrooms have never had access to so much data. At the same time, it has never been harder to turn it into independent journalism economically.

That's why we're not building an AI that writes text.

We're building an AI that researches.

So journalists can once again do what only humans can:

Contextualize.Question.Explain.Tell stories.

Legal approach

Original content instead of repurposed agency copy

Our system uses public news sources exclusively for topic identification. The subsequent research, fact validation and text creation are carried out independently, based on additional sources and our own processing. The goal is original journalistic content rather than the reuse of agency copy.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

No. The system replaces monotonous research, copy/paste and fact gathering – not editorial judgement. Every draft goes through your newsroom's review; context, opinion and investigative work stay human.

Public news sources only act as triggers for topic identification. From there the system researches independently: independent web sources, company data, market and financial data, and historical context.

Every extracted claim is verified individually against independent sources and scored with a confidence value. Unverifiable claims are flagged – transparent down to the single source.

Besides public news signals, the pipeline draws on market data, fundamentals, balance sheet figures and historical events. Your own data sources can be connected via API.

The platform is CMS-agnostic: drafts can be handed over to existing editorial systems via API, export or webhook. Custom integrations are set up together.

Yes. Your own feeds, databases and API endpoints can be integrated into the pipeline as additional sources and data blocks.

From incoming signal to the first ready-to-publish draft usually takes less than five minutes – including fact checking and research.

Currently German and English. More languages are on the roadmap and can be prioritised per project.
