Built on beehiiv — not instead of it
The local email newsletter platform.
antfarrm turns hundreds of local sources into publish-ready editions: a compounding content substrate, an AI editorial engine with real newsroom guardrails, and a visual builder. You stay the editor; beehiiv stays your send. Paste-ready in one click.
How it works
Step 1
Connect
Link your beehiiv publication with an API key — or just your public RSS.
Step 2
Ingest
Your sources flow in on a schedule: fetched, credibility-checked, scored, searchable.
Step 3
Compose
Pick a blueprint, pin your stories in the builder, and the engine writes the edition.
Step 4
Publish
Copy for beehiiv — formatting intact. Send from beehiiv like always.
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
Coastlight — a bilingual local newsletter for Monterey County — composes its civic, education, and faith editions on this platform: scored substrate in, blueprint-structured editions out, Spanish editions one click behind English, every sponsor labeled, every correction on the record. We build antfarrm by running a real local newsroom on it.
Pricing that mirrors beehiiv
Plans map to beehiiv's own tiers and step at beehiiv's subscriber brackets — your antfarrm bill scales exactly like your beehiiv bill. AI usage is metered in credits; bring your own API key on paid plans.
