A full newsroom for one person — with AI on every desk.
Aedric is research, drafting, fact-checking, and publishing in one place. You give direction; AI does the legwork; you decide what’s worth your name. Here’s the complete toolkit.
Aedric watches the news so you don't have to. Follow topics, search live coverage, and let an AI pipeline surface what's worth your attention.
For You
recommend_articles
For You is a daily shortlist, not an infinite feed. Tell Aedric the topics you follow and it pulls fresh coverage, then runs every story through an AI ranking pass that scores relevance and explains itself.
Each pick arrives tagged with the topic it matched and a one-line reason it was chosen, so you can trust the ranking instead of guessing at it.
The pipeline refreshes on demand and caches results, so opening For You is instant and re-running it is a single click.
Save anything straight from the list — a saved pick lands in your library and is flagged so it never resurfaces as new.
Live news search
find_articles
Sometimes you're chasing one story, not your standing topics. Live search queries the real-time news index directly and returns fresh articles for anything you type.
Scope results by recency — last hour, 6 hours, day, week, year, or anytime — to separate breaking coverage from background.
Results show source and publish time at a glance, and save into the same library as everything else.
No setup required: it works the moment you have an account, with or without saved topics.
Authorities
Not every source carries equal weight. Authorities lets you curate the outlets and authors you actually trust, turning a personal credibility list into a signal across your research.
Add the publications and bylines you rely on; they become easy to recognize and prioritize as you read.
Your authority list is yours — it reflects your judgment about who's worth listening to, not a generic ranking.
Full-story coverage
full_story_coverage
Before you weigh in on a developing story, see its whole shape. Full-story coverage pulls the entire cluster of reporting around a single event.
Get the top coverage plus the complete list of articles across outlets, so you're not reacting to a single headline.
See how widely a story is being shared, a quick read on whether it's actually breaking through.
Sort the cluster by relevance or by date depending on whether you want the best coverage or the latest.
Saved searches
run_saved_search
The queries you run again and again become named, reusable saved searches on your Top news dashboard.
Re-run a saved search in a single click and get its current results, freshly pulled.
Aedric flags which results you've already saved, so a repeat run only shows you what's new.

◈Compose
From a blank topic to a fact-checked, ready-to-publish post — with AI as a collaborator at every step, in your voice.
Angle generation
generate_angles
The hardest part of a take is finding the angle. Give Aedric a topic and it returns three distinct, opinionated angles to choose from, each written the way you write.
Angles come from three different lenses — a strategic read, a forward-looking take, and an execution-minded one — so you're choosing between real perspectives, not rewordings.
Pick the one that's actually yours and Aedric builds from there; regenerate if none of them land.
Everything is steered by your stance and tone settings, so the angles sound like you from the first draft.
Draft posts
generate_post
Turn a chosen angle into a full draft. You set the direction, Aedric writes the post, and you edit and refine before anything goes out.
Drafts come back as complete, publish-ready posts — not outlines you have to finish yourself.
Edit freely in the composer; the draft is a starting point, not a final answer.
The point isn't volume — it's leaving a trail of what you find worth thinking about.
Fact-check
fact_check_draft
Before anything goes public, run it through a web-search fact-check. Aedric checks the claims in your draft against live sources and tells you what won't hold up.
Each flagged claim comes with its status, an explanation, and a proposed correction — not just a red mark.
Issues are graded by severity so you know what's a real problem versus a nitpick.
Apply a repair at the level you want — minimal edits, an auto-fix, or a full rewrite of the affected sections — then re-check.
Stance & tone controls
Every generation is steerable. Set the stance and tone up front and Aedric writes to match the register you actually use.
Choose a stance — positive, objective, or negative — to set how the piece leans.
Pick from six tones: aggressive, authoritative, concerned, optimistic, empathetic, or academic.
Change the framing and regenerate; Aedric flags when your draft is out of sync with the new settings.

◉Publish
A public record of what you read and what you make of it — on a page worth sending to someone.
Your public profile
Your handle is a single public page that shows what you're reading and the analysis you've published — like Letterboxd for the journalism you actually consume.
Saved articles and published thoughts render as a clean, chronological record of how you think.
Link it from a bio, drop it in a DM, send it instead of a resume — it's a faster signal than “here's my Substack.”
A live usage pulse in the header shows the page is active, not abandoned.
Drafts & visibility control
publish_post
Nothing is public until you say so. Thoughts start as private drafts, and you decide what graduates to your profile.
Drafts are visible only to you in the dashboard, so works-in-progress stay private.
Publish to your public profile when a piece is ready — or keep it finalized but unlisted if it's not for the feed.
Visibility is a deliberate choice on every post, never a default you have to undo.
