Everything a local operation needs
A substrate that compounds
Point it at your local sources — RSS, city agendas, event calendars, partners. Every item is fetched, credibility-checked, scored on a five-dimension local rubric, and embedded for search. It refreshes itself on your schedule.
Local newsletter blueprints
Daily brief, Government Watch, Education, Faith, Deep Dive, Talk of the Town — fixed structures with per-slot word budgets and score gates, so every edition reads like it was built by a newsroom.
The visual edition builder
Swipe through your top-scored stories card by card and pin the ones that fill each slot. The AI writes the prose around exactly your picks — it never substitutes.
Bilingual by design
One click adapts an approved English edition into culturally-authentic Spanish — civic terms glossed, never machine-translated. Structure and citations carry over exactly.
Editorial guardrails
Accuracy confidence on every story, sensitive-topic flags, citation validation that kills anything unsourced, an append-only corrections log — and nothing ever auto-sends.
A sponsor firewall
Sponsors never touch scoring or selection. Placements are injected only at render, always labeled. Your readers' trust is the business.
Case study
Coastlight runs on antfarrm
A bilingual local newsletter for Monterey County composes its civic, education, and faith editions here: scored substrate in, blueprint-structured editions out, Spanish one click behind English, every sponsor labeled, every correction on the record. We build antfarrm by running a real local newsroom on it.
