Introducing AI concepts for Newsrooms

AI can help journalists in countless ways and save them a lot of time. However, it's not just generative AI that proves helpful in the day-to-day work of a newsroom. Explore with us concrete use cases and proofs of concept illustrated with short animations.

AI generates a paragraph based on a given topic, with the tone of voice and word count specified by the user. By providing a subheading, authors can quickly generate a background paragraph without requiring extensive drafting.

Additionally, the AI-generated paragraphs are unique every time, which adds an original tone to the article and minimises the risk of copy-pasting content.

The concept allows journalists to input relevant data, such as stock market data, and let the AI analyse it to create a full article. Especially useful for data-based content such as weather reports, financial reports, and sports reports.

This feature transforms tweets into full-length articles. The transformation process is automatic, ensuring the resulting article is coherent and well-structured. Users can also edit the article and add more details, images, and videos to make it even more engaging.

This feature creates bullet points of simple text that can be added at the top of an article.

A rephrasing feature that helps save time avoid repetition and find alternative ways to express thoughts and ideas.

A feature that allows creating a bulleted list from a paragraph and vice versa.

A feature that generates questions and answers for quizzes based on the topic selected by an author.

A feature that creates FAQs out of paragraph – a handy add-on to your CMS system that accompanies summarising and paraphrasing features.

A feature that generates simple graphs, charts and diagrams based on the data in the article. It helps save a lot of time and spare journalists the painful process of generating charts in an external tool, where they need to input relevant data manually, create a chart, export it, and then upload it to the CMS.

With our concept, it’s enough when journalists mark selected data points they want to appear in the chart.

A feature that automates social media asset generation. A journalist selects an article they wish to share and then choose a suitable social media channel and a visually appealing template. Next, an algorithm comes into play and automatically generates a dedicated graphic, all set and ready to be shared.

A feature that provides authors with prompts on including the best keywords. Journalists can edit their text as they write, adjusting key phrases or replacing words to ensure that the content is optimised for search engines.

A feature that helps authors generate multiple topics that can serve as subheadings or ideas for future articles from a single phrase.

Image captions are often a neglected yet important part of SEO optimisation. This feature helps authors write optimised captions and the right image description for better search results.

Our concept of a fact-checking AI feature helps journalists deal with news verification and ensure the accuracy of facts. It analyses news content in real time and highlights mistakes and inaccuracies.

It can also help improve the integrity and credibility of publishers, and journalists get a reliable tool that reduces the time for manual fact-checking.

A feature that helps spot factual errors in proper names and titles, their spelling and accuracy.

A feature that can prevent plagiarism: the text is scanned and compared to the content that already exists on the web. It allows for proper source attribution and helps avoid copy-pasted content.

A feature that allows you to check whether your title is similar to the titles of your competitors and helps avoid SEO-related issues.

A feature that limits the number of stock pictures used and helps illustrate abstract topics. A user inputs a description and style preferences, and the AI generates images that align with the article's content.

A feature that allows for image sharpening.

A feature that allows to anonymise a person in the picture and add blur to the person’s face.

A feature that allows erasing an unwanted element in the picture.

A feature that allows for advanced photo searching based on the sentiment of the picture or emotions displayed by a person in the image (face-recognition and emotion-recognition will be used in the process).

A feature that helps analyse the headline regarding emotional sentiment, common words, character count, and SEO potential. It gives suggestions on how to improve the headline score.

A feature that helps in researching articles popular in search engines. Based on selected keywords, the AI shows trending articles and their sources.

A filter that helps prevent hateful speech in the comments. When a user posts a comment with inappropriate language, the AI urges them to change the wording.

A feature that analyses the language and detects sensitive topics. Thanks to this analysis, algorithms can suggest softening the tone of the article, adding a line about where to find help or a trigger warning.

A feature that revolutionises newsrooms’ workflow – thanks to speech-to-text algorithms, audio and video recordings are easily transformed into accurate, error-free text in minutes. The feature also detects speakers and highlights key moments in the recording, allowing journalists to transcribe and edit any recording without switching to external tools.

When working in a newsroom it is sometimes easy to get lost in conversations about who is doing what, especially when it comes to stories that may interest multiple newsrooms within the same organisation.

This phenomenon, known as “news duplication” or "news overlap”, happens for various reasons. Sometimes, it is due to a lack of clear communication and sometimes to poor search functions in the CMS.

In any case, it is a waste of time to create a news story that has already been reported.

This feature immediately detects duplicate content and prevents journalists from cloning texts within the same editorial team.
