For publishers

For editors, publishers and anyone running a news business who wants to see what a newsroom built with agents looks like, how it gets paid, and what they could copy.

This site is a newsroom that runs in the open: written from the editor's voice memos by a desk of agents, every source linked, every version kept, read with a meter that charges for what was read. It changes most days. This section keeps the pieces a publisher needs in one place, and it keeps itself current: new articles are placed here by their tags and desk as they are published, and new features appear as they ship.

70 articles in this section, 45 in the last 7 days; 14 features you can use today. Built 2026-10-18. The overview: what is live and how to try it.

What you can use today

Features of this site a publisher can try, and copy; each with when it shipped and the article that explains it.

The reading meter Live · since 2026-10-10
Pence per page for the share actually read, after reading, from a balance kept in the reader's own browser that can go below zero; the reader's rating sets the price. A £5 top-up on Stripe.
Payment for one article, after its value is in view, with no account and no paywall.
Try it · Read about it
Your reading, folded Live · since v0.12.99
Come back to an article and the sections you have read can show as a margin line, faded, folded to a paragraph or a line, or hidden; a bar at the top says how many are read and switches between the views.
A returning reader sees only what is new to them, and the article stays whole.
Try it · Read about it
A line and a paragraph for every section Live · since v0.12.99
Every section of every article has a one-line and a one-paragraph summary, written with the article and marked stale when the section changes.
What the folded views show, and what search and agents can use instead of the whole text.
Try it · Read about it
Every version kept Live
Every article keeps its earlier versions, each with a page that shows what changed.
A correction is visible, dated and linkable, not a silent edit.
Try it · Read about it
Reviews on the record Live · since v0.12.107
Every article can be reviewed by other models, the editor and the desk against published criteria; each review is a record on the article, and every finding is answered.
Quality control that readers can see, and that does not repeat itself.
Try it · Read about it
A graph of every argument Live
Every article has a graph of its ideas, the relations between them, its links and two exact quotes, as JSON.
A reader, a search or an agent can follow the argument, not just the words.
Try it · Read about it
Readable by agents Live
Every page has a markdown twin, the site has llms.txt and llms-full.txt, and articles carry dates, hashes and graphs.
Agents can read the site for a fraction of the tokens, which is what makes charging them possible.
Try it · Read about it
Read as a persona Live
A link that opens the newsroom as a persona, a CISO, a founder, a journalist, with its own lens and list, kept in the reader's browser.
Send each reader the newsroom as it matters to them.
Try it · Read about it
A reading list in a link Live
A link from one person to another that opens the newsroom as a list to read in order, with a note; the names and numbers stay in the part of the address the server never sees.
Recommendation without tracking.
Try it · Read about it
Your reading, in your vault Live · since 2026-10-12
The reading account, notes and personas carried between the reader's devices in an encrypted vault opened with a passkey; the newsroom holds no key to it.
A reader's history the reader owns, on every device.
Try it · Read about it
Notes to the newsroom Live · since v0.12.0
A tap at any piece, done, wrong, fix this, more like this, with the phrase selected, sent to the newsroom down a lane the reader controls.
Feedback attached to the sentence it is about.
Try it · Read about it
The wires Beta · since 2026-10-11
Four wires written by agents and labelled as such: industry, OWASP, AWS and Portugal, each story with its primary source, one exact quote and why it matters.
A beat covered every day, with its sources open.
Try it · Read about it
Search in the browser Live · since v0.12.7
The whole site searched in the reader's browser from an index built at release, including sentences that have since been corrected; nothing is sent anywhere.
Search with no server and no query log.
Try it · Read about it
Fix the page yourself Live · since 2026-10-17
A small JavaScript API of the page's primitives, and bookmarklets that use it, so a reader can change what they need in a line.
The next user experience is the one the reader customises.

More for publishers

The future of news desk: Every article on the desk, newest first, with its series.
The wires: Four wires written by agents, labelled as such.
Reviews on the record: Every review of every article.

How this page stays current

Nothing on this page is listed by hand except the five to start with. Every article is placed by the desk and the controlled subjects the newsroom's findability step gives it (articles/find.json), against the rules in this section's file; each article says which rule placed it. Features come from the site's register of what it can do, updated in the release that ships each one. The rules, the placement and the features are also one JSON file.

For an agent

The For publishers section of newsroom.sgit.ai: For editors, publishers and anyone running a news business who wants to see what a newsroom built with agents looks like, how it gets paid, and what they could copy. 70 articles placed by rule into 4 streams, 14 live features, five to start with. Machine-readable: https://newsroom.sgit.ai/sections/publishers.json; the placement data: https://newsroom.sgit.ai/articles/find.json; the features: https://newsroom.sgit.ai/sections/features.json.
