AI Research Tool for Journalists
Offload fact-finding and citation work to your AI agent, so you can focus on writing compelling stories and meeting tight deadlines.
You’re stuck copying quotes from Google Docs, digging through email threads for sources, and double-checking facts in Excel. As a journalist or writer, you lose hours each week to manual research, leaving less time for actual storytelling.
An AI agent that gathers facts, authentic details, and citations for writers and journalists, reducing manual research time and ensuring accuracy.
What this replaces
The hidden cost
What this is really costing you
In media and publishing, journalists and writers often spend 2-3 hours every week pulling details from news archives, transcribing interviews in Otter.ai, and formatting citations in Word. This manual process slows down article delivery and increases the risk of factual errors. Relying on spreadsheets and email to track sources means critical information gets lost or duplicated. The constant back-and-forth eats into creative time and puts deadline pressure on editorial teams.
