Run my local newsletter for 6,000 neighbours: research, write, sell the ads

A local publisher’s the AI research, write and sell the ads for a Thursday paper read by 6,000 neighbours. The bots cover the whole production loop of a real local news product, not just the writing.

How it works

  1. Bots research local stories
  2. Bots write the issue
  3. Bots sell and place the ads
  4. Thursday edition goes out to 6,000 neighbours

Why it’s worth knowing

The bots do not just write the paper; they sell the ads that keep it alive.
