AI Apps for Journalists and Reporters

AI tools can rapidly fact-check information during breaking news by comparing claims against verified databases and identifying inconsistencies. These tools can fact-check basic claims in seconds rather than minutes or hours, allowing you to publish accurate breaking news stories faster:

AI journalism tools can transcribe interviews with high accuracy, identify key quotes, generate summaries, and even suggest follow-up questions.
