In today’s world, catchy headlines and articles often distract readers from the facts and relevant information. Simply News is an attempt to cut through the fray and provide straightforward daily updates about what’s actually happening. By coordinating multiple AI agents, Simply News processes sensationalist news articles and transforms them into a cohesive, news-focused podcast across many distinct topics every day. Each agent is responsible for a different part of this process. For example, we have agents which perform the following functions:

The Sorter: Scans a vast array of news sources and filters the articles based on relevance and significance to the podcast category.

The Pitcher: Crafts a compelling pitch for each sorted article, taking into account the narrative angle presented in the article.

The Judge: Evaluates the pitches and makes an editorial decision about which should be covered.

The Scripter: Drafts an engaging script for the articles selected by the Judge, ensuring clarity and precision for the listening.

Our AIs are directed to select news articles most relevant to the podcast category. Removing the human from this loop means explicit biases don’t factor into the decision about what to cover.

AI-decisions are also much more auditable, and this transparency is a key reason why AI can be a powerful tool for removing bias and sensationalism in the news.
