The Challenge
Build a news platform where AI runs the entire editorial pipeline, from story discovery through drafting, checking and publication, without a human in the loop on each story.
What I Built
An AI-powered newsroom running an editorial pipeline end to end:
- Story discovery and trending topic analysis
- Research and source gathering
- Article drafting with multiple AI models
- Fact-checking and verification
- Editorial review and quality scoring
- Multi-format output (breaking news, deep dives, newsletters)
- Automated publication and distribution
The platform runs 72 edge functions, 9 automated cron jobs, and includes an MCP server for AI operator access.
Technical Highlights
- Event-driven architecture with complex content lifecycle management
- Multi-model AI orchestration (Gemini, GPT-5)
- Subscription billing via Stripe
- Email newsletters via Resend
