A47 operates an agentic newsroom for digital publishers, deploying six AI agents to monitor, verify, and produce content across formats like articles, video, podcasts, and newsletters from source to publication. The platform is scoped to run a 50-person newsroom's output with just two people, enforcing editorial guardrails while keeping human judgment on original reporting. Pricing is structured as an annual paid engagement sized to masthead volume, benchmarked against agency costs.

Problem
Newsroom employment has fallen 26% in the U.S. since 2008, with over 3,000 additional journalism jobs cut in 2025 alone, yet audience demand for content across web, social, push, and newsletters continues to grow. Publishers face a trap where headcount cannot scale to meet production needs, and external agencies or freelancers do not survive the next economic cycle.
Solution
A47 runs the entire production layer of a newsroom through a team of six AI agents that monitor sources, verify claims through multi-model cross-checking, write in the publisher's editorial voice, and produce every format from articles to vertical video, podcasts, carousels, newsletters, and alerts. The platform ingests a newsroom's archive and stylebook to train an Editorial AI, integrates directly with existing CMS and distribution channels, and ships verified stories under the publisher's masthead without human intervention. Editorial judgment, source relationships, and original reporting remain with the human newsroom while production is fully automated, compressing the cost per published story to $0.20 versus $85 for stringer-written or $227 for staff-written stories. A47 operates its own demo publication, a47news.ai, to prove the system end-to-end in production.
Target Audience
Primary customers are digital publishers, newsrooms, OTT streaming platforms, and financial or trade media organizations in MENA, South Asia, the UK, and the U.S. that need to scale content production without adding editorial headcount.
