NewsScope AI
Bias-aware news synthesis for OpenClaw

Generate researcher-ready brief packs that compare coverage across outlets, surface disagreements, and keep uncertainty visible instead of pretending the news is cleaner than it is.

How it works right now

NewsScope AI is being built as a practical newsroom-style analysis lane for OpenClaw: gather coverage, compare competing frames, and hand a researcher an evidence pack they can actually inspect.

Multi-source intake

Collect overlapping coverage for the same topic from multiple outlets so a researcher can compare narratives instead of trusting a single feed.

Bias + credibility framing

Normalize sources, attach reputation context when available, and keep contested claims visible instead of flattening them away.

Research-pack output

Produce markdown, JSON, and an OpenClaw handoff prompt so the next agent or human can audit the same evidence trail.

Research-pack first

The current sweet spot is the local research-pack workflow. It turns a topic plus source set into three artifacts: a markdown brief, structured JSON, and a handoff prompt for the next OpenClaw step.

That makes the project useful today for evaluation and workflow design, even before the live ingestion lane is fully proven end to end.

Current outputs

Research brief markdown for fast human review
Structured JSON for downstream automation
OpenClaw handoff prompt for researcher/subagent critique
Honest blocker reporting when live credentials are missing

Design principles

A useful news system should be skeptical, traceable, and boringly honest about what it cannot yet prove.

Preserve uncertainty

When sources disagree, the system should say so plainly. Confidence is a product feature, not a cosmetic afterthought.

Built for handoff

NewsScope AI is designed for OpenClaw workflows where one agent gathers material and another reviewer or editor critiques it.

Prototype honestly

Sample runs are useful for UX and pipeline design, but they are kept clearly separate from true live ingestion.

Current status

Prototype CLI working locally with deterministic sample-data research packs
Homepage + dedicated local project page now wired inside this site
Live news-provider and live LLM path supported through local environment variables / .env when present
First true live run still blocked unless valid provider credentials are supplied locally
