After an editor finalises a story, the tool extracts key points and populates pre-designed HTML infographic templates—typically bullets, numbered steps, timelines, or comparisons—reducing a roughly 10-minute manual task to about a one-minute review. Editors retain full control: they can edit or regenerate the AI output, adjust prompts, and decide which articles get infographics, ensuring accuracy and appropriate tone. Initially built with minimal engineering resources and refined iteratively, the tool now supports both English and Kannada newsrooms, serves as a fast “entry point” for time-poor readers without replacing full articles, and also feeds derivative formats like social media carousels, visual stories, and listicles.

Instead of sending users to generic search results, Smart Search delivers fast, direct answers grounded strictly in Handelsblatt’s verified content, refusing to answer when it lacks sufficient sources to avoid hallucinations and protect trust. Integrated deeply into existing products rather than as a standalone gimmick, it not only answers questions but also recommends related articles, podcasts, and events, turning every query into a cross-promotion moment designed to increase engagement, keep subscribers inside the Handelsblatt ecosystem, and offset traffic losses from AI-driven search.

It uses an orchestrator agent to coordinate specialized sub‑agents that do things like enforce the house style on drafts, auto‑suggest SEO headlines, tags and URLs, surface performance insights and live trends, and generate ready‑to‑edit social assets (including subreddit suggestions) from published articles. Critically, it doesn’t create original journalism; it refines and distributes what journalists already produce, with human review required at every step. The whole architecture is designed so that once the core is in place, new agents for specific desks or brands can be added in hours, and eventually reused across any CMS and all dmg media titles.

It ingests an article, generates a script, selects matching images or video clips, produces a synthetic voiceover, and assembles the final video, leaving only an editorial review step for newsroom staff. Originally developed inside VG and later used across multiple Schibsted newsrooms, the tool is now released as a minimal but fully functional base on GitHub, intended for developers and media organisations to adapt and extend for their own text-to-video news workflows, with an explicit focus on maintaining editorial safeguards and transparency.

The guidelines distinguish clearly between AI‑assisted work (brainstorming, research, data analysis, summaries, translation, headline and social copy suggestions, accessibility features like captions and text‑to‑speech) and AI‑generated content, which is considered high‑risk and allowed only in tightly controlled, transparent scenarios. Human oversight, accuracy, and trust are the core principles: staff must use only approved corporate AI tools, rigorously fact‑check all outputs, and disclose AI use whenever it materially shapes public‑facing content or could mislead audiences if left unexplained. The result is a governance “tool” for AI in journalism that aims to boost productivity and audience experience while protecting editorial standards and public trust.

Users rate each story on emotion, interest, and importance; these signals feed a vectorization model using Gemini and OpenAI embeddings that maps their “worldview” and connects them with like-minded readers. The company’s core product for publishers and brands is anonymized behavioral data about how different audiences actually think and feel about factual information, which it plans to sell alongside a ClassPass-like premium paywalled-article credit system and ad deals with media partners.

Developed by newsroom Gênero e Número with Novelo Data, it continuously collects videos using hate-related keyword searches, auto-transcribes them with OpenAI’s Whisper, and stores the transcripts in a database for manual and AI-assisted classification. Experts in technology, data science and gender studies helped refine its methodology so users can search videos from 2018–2026, see channels that systematically spread anti-gender discourse, and explore how narratives spread through views, likes and producers. Organized by thematic axes, discursive strategies and main targets, Radar provides evidence and context for research, journalism and public policy debates on gendered hate in Brazil.

This setup lets reporters feed bulletins into a standardized prompt that remembers ANKA’s context and style, producing fast, consistent drafts that journalists can then refine, dramatically reducing “robot work” and freeing up time for exclusive reporting and deeper analysis. Along the way, the project also acted as a change-management tool, normalizing AI use in the newsroom by showing skeptical colleagues that well-prompted automation can improve speed and quality without replacing journalists, and giving participants a broader, more strategic understanding of where automation fits into the future of journalism.

Instead of scrubbing through eight– to ten-hour meetings, journalists search by bill number, keyword, or speaker in a three-panel interface (bill summaries, full transcript, video player) and play from any highlighted section, turning a full-day listening task into a couple of hours of targeted reading and verification. Built by data reporter Angela Eichhorst on top of the open-source Golden Dome project and tailored to CT Mirror’s committees and workflows, Legitalk doesn’t replace reporting; it surfaces the “needle in the haystack” so humans can do the interviewing, fact-checking, and storytelling faster and at greater scale.

All of these tools are explicitly constrained by strong human judgment: Reuters pulled back AI‑generated story summaries when they noticed issues with attribution and outdated facts, and reporters use AI to remove friction in their work — not to write ledes, nut grafs, or make editorial judgments.

The tool is explicitly positioned as an assistant, not a reporter: it doesn’t do original newsgathering, but helps with structuring, drafting, and polishing copy so journalists can spend more time in the field. Guardrails include human verification of all facts and quotes, shared bylines when the reporter’s own work is minimal, and a clear editorial stance that the goal is to deepen reporting rather than cut staff or boost story volume.

It treats registration as the first step in a customer relationship and uses AI to identify the “right moment” to ask for sign-ups, reducing friction while preserving reach and editorial integrity. The same data infrastructure also powers high-value, registration-only features like My Portfolio, encouraging habitual use and providing richer first-party data to inform content, product, and revenue decisions. Crucially, the tool is framed not as a magic growth hack but as a test-and-learn engine that only works when the whole organization is aligned on shared metrics and transparent experimentation.
