Newsroom agent · live research · editorial drafts

Ask naturally. Get answers your newsroom can use.

NewsCraft AI is a chat-first agent for producers, editors, and reporters. It answers ordinary requests directly, then switches into source-backed research when a question needs current facts, verification, or coverage comparison.

Built around the work a newsroom repeats every day
The agent

Chat like ChatGPT. Work like a newsroom.

Ask for help with a story, source, beat, pitch, script, rundown, or table. NewsCraft decides whether the request can be answered directly or needs a research pass first.

  • Answers normal writing, planning, editing, and analysis prompts directly
  • Routes current facts, verification, and coverage questions through research tools
  • Keeps caveats visible when sources are weak, blocked, or incomplete
Agent modes

Research pass What are the latest confirmed updates?

Structured output Give me a table and three follow-up questions.

Turns findings into tables, bullets, briefs, interview questions, and scripts.

Source-backed research

When facts move, the agent checks before it answers.

For live news, schedules, claims, or source comparison, NewsCraft runs a visible research path. It can search the web, read supplied URLs, use configured source monitors, and separate useful evidence from unreliable material.

  • Live web search for current facts and related coverage
  • URL and source-feed reading for material you provide
  • Clear language when a source is paywalled, blocked, stale, or not enough

What changed since the last update?

NewsCraft found the newest usable source, separated it from older coverage, and flagged one unresolved claim that still needs a primary confirmation.

Evidence captured · caveats included · ready to verify before air
Output formats

Turn messy reporting material into usable desk output.

NewsCraft is not just a search box. It helps shape the result into the format a producer, assignment editor, reporter, or anchor can actually use.

  • Coverage comparisons with claim, angle, and gap columns
  • Headlines, interview questions, scripts, and concise tables
Brief Confirmed facts, context, open questions
Compare Outlet angle, sourcing, missing pieces
Table Rows, columns, times, venues, notes
Draft Scripts, intros, headlines, interview asks
Workflow

One thread from question to usable answer.

Start with a plain-language request. NewsCraft plans the route, shows progress when it researches, and returns an answer shaped for editorial use. The final judgment stays with the journalist.

  • 01 · Ask about a story, source, beat, or newsroom task
  • 02 · Let the agent answer directly or run a source-backed pass
  • 03 · Copy, regenerate, refine, or turn the answer into another format
