Real reporters, working with AI staff

AI staff

Every AI job, with its model and provider

AI does named jobs in the newsroom. None of them has a byline, and none can publish. This list is read from the same configuration the newsroom’s software runs on, so it changes when the models change.

AI-assisted

Transcription

Turns a recorded interview into a timed transcript, so every quotation can be traced to the second it was said.

  • Model: microsoft/mai-transcribe-2 via OpenRouter (made by Microsoft)
  • Fallback: qwen3-asr-flash via Alibaba Cloud Model Studio (made by Alibaba (Qwen))

Human check: The reporter records with the speaker’s consent and checks who said what.

AI-assisted

Interview translation

Translates a non-English interview transcript into English, line by line, keeping each line tied to the original.

  • Model: openai/gpt-6-luna via OpenRouter (made by OpenAI)

Human check: Translated quotations are marked as translated; uncertainty is flagged, not guessed.

AI-assisted

Cited research

Builds a cited research brief from a closed set of official sources; every claim must point to a source.

  • Model: openai/gpt-6-luna via OpenRouter (made by OpenAI)

Human check: A reporter decides what, if anything, is used.

AI-assisted

Story drafting

Drafts a reported story from the reporter’s recording and notes. Quotations can only be taken word for word from the transcript.

  • Model: anthropic/claude-opus-5.5 via OpenRouter (made by Anthropic)

Human check: The draft is a draft. It cannot publish itself.

AI-assisted

Independent story check

Checks every sentence of the draft against the evidence it cites. It comes from a different company from the model that wrote the draft, so one vendor’s blind spot cannot pass its own work.

  • Model: openai/gpt-6-sol via OpenRouter (made by OpenAI)

Human check: A named person reads the checked draft and approves it, or sends it back.

AI-assisted

Stand identification

Suggests which exhibitor a stand photo shows. Two models from different companies answer separately, and a name is never picked automatically on one opinion.

  • Model: qwen/qwen3.8-flash via OpenRouter (made by Alibaba (Qwen))
  • Second opinion: google/gemini-3.8-flash via OpenRouter (made by Google)

Human check: The reporter on the stand confirms the company.
