Features

Everything a newsroom runs on, in one place

Newsagent brings the newsroom system, the AI assistant and the tools around them into one product. A radio newsroom, a digital publisher and a TV station each switch on what they use.

Newsroom

The work of the day, from the first signal to a finished story.

Breaking desk

Signals from every source grouped into developing events, scored for your area and beats, shown on a map. Claim one, brief it, cover it.

Wires and sources

RSS and Atom, emergency alerts in CAP, webhooks for tips and crews, searchable in one place. Make a story from any item.

Stories and scripts

Text and broadcast script side by side, timed at your read rate, with field-level history and conflict-safe saving.

Assignments

Offer, accept, start and finish coverage, linked to stories, events and diary entries.

News diary

Courts, council, sport and press conferences in your time zone, imported from calendars, with coverage planned in a click.

Insights

Signals by source, time to claim, the story funnel, shows against their slots, deliveries and workload, by day.

Linear

For bulletins and programmes, from the producer's desk to the gallery.

Rundowns

Shows, templates and series, with hit times, back times, over and under, spares and readiness, updated live.

Prompter

A browser prompter that follows the rundown and the take, with mirror mode and keyboard control.

Gallery and studio wall

TAKE from the gallery, an as-run log of planned against actual, and a multiviewer-style wall of today's shows.

Digital

One story, a version for every channel.

Publishing

RSS and Media RSS feeds, and signed webhooks into your CMS, with retries, corrections, unpublish and withdraw.

Versions

Web, radio, social, push, newsletter and podcast versions, each with its own approval before it goes out.

Live screens

Every working screen updates for everyone the moment something changes.

Media

Pictures and sound, ready to use.

Media library

Direct upload to storage; playable copies, posters, thumbnails, waveforms and loudness; rights, licence and expiry on every asset.

Transcription

Deepgram or OpenAI, with speaker turns, Australian English, your names and places as vocabulary, and captions as VTT or SRT.

Edit suite

Cut packages and social clips on a timeline, with supers, titles, captions and 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1 framing, rendered to the library.

AI presenter

Talking-head videos from a story's script with HeyGen or D-ID, labelled AI-generated and approved before air.

AI and automation

Help that drafts and checks, and never acts alone.

Alpha Omega

Raters, highlighters, transformers and extractors beside every story, streaming their answers, with an AI Studio to try them.

Your models, your costs

Each newsroom's own Anthropic and OpenAI keys, model choice per task, editable prices, usage charts and a monthly budget.

Workflows

When this happens, do that: triggers, conditions and steps, built visually and run reliably, step by step.

Agents

Breaking desk, rundown producer, packager, research, fact checker and social monitor, working with tools that only read or propose.

Governance and platform

Controls you can show a board, a regulator or an insurer.

AI guardrails

Every AI call checked before and after, by Newsagent's own rules and Tumeryk's AI Trust Gateway, with every verdict recorded.

Approvals and the AI register

One queue for everything waiting on a person, and one record of every AI run, agent step and workflow step.

Newsrooms, people and roles

Separate newsrooms on one platform, kept apart by the database, with roles from viewer to admin and Google or Microsoft sign-in.

Switch on what you use

Features, per newsroom

Each newsroom turns these on and off for itself; anything a feature needs comes on with it.
