The problem with AI news
AI writers are fluent. That’s the problem. A model can write a clean paragraph with a number nobody said, a quote nobody gave, or a sentence lifted from someone else’s story. It reads fine until a reader catches it.
Step 1: Write only from your sources
When you ask for a story, Newsroom pulls the latest items from the sources you picked and reads the full articles. It keeps what fits your beat and sets aside everything else.
The writer only gets that pile of facts to work from. Your writer shapes the words. The facts only come from your sources.
Step 2: A second AI checks every fact
The writer never grades its own work. A separate checker reads the draft and matches each claim and each number to a source. If a fact can’t be matched, the draft fails.
Step 3: Ship it, or hold it
A story that passes goes to your feed with its sources attached. A story that fails is held. It isn’t sent, and you aren’t charged. The most common reasons a story is held:
- Two sources disagree on a fact
- A number doesn’t appear in any source
- The only source is one your rules don’t allow
- The draft is too close to someone else’s writing
What the check can’t do
The check makes sure a story matches your sources. It can’t tell whether a source itself is wrong. That’s why picking sources matters: rank official records first, and block the ones you don’t trust.
Why held stories are free
You only pay for stories that pass. That way we never earn money by shipping something we couldn’t check.
