You spend hours chasing feedback in Outlook, compiling notes in Google Docs, and sorting opinions from Slack threads. As an editor, juggling conflicting priorities and keeping your team aligned is exhausting. Important stories slip through the cracks and deadlines loom, all while you’re buried in manual tasks.
An AI agent that organizes, summarizes, and recommends news story placements for editors, keeping your newsroom aligned and saving hours each week.

What this is really costing you
Media editors in newsrooms face constant pressure to publish timely stories. Gathering feedback from staff via email, compiling placement memos in Google Sheets, and updating agendas in shared drives eats up valuable time. The editorial lead is stuck managing endless communication and tracking decisions across multiple platforms. This manual process delays publishing and risks misplacing high-impact stories.
