Forth vs NOTUS by AJI

Forth constantly checks all sorts of sources, leveraging AI to group updates into individual stories, and doing a first pass at summarizing and determining urgency. If this sounds like an aggregator, it’s similar, but with one big difference. Most news aggregators crawl news outlets’ websites, finding and linking to already published articles. Someone still has to see the update, write it up, and publish before the aggregator can find it. Forth just takes that original update and publishes, giving our users the same material journalists use. No gatekeeping, no spin, and no delay. Still, AI and automation cannot replace journalists. No chatbot will ever be able to develop trust and cultivate a rapport with sources. Algorithms cannot perform investigations, ask uncomfortable questions, or be on the ground in the wake of a disaster. We understand that, and will include original reporting from some select, trusted journalists and outlets.
