About Kaer News

What Kaer News covers

Kaer News publishes short, sourced news stories through the day across eight sections: World, Politics, Business, Software, Science, Health, Culture and Sport.

A story is chosen when an event is being reported by more than one publisher. Events a single outlet carries, and events the site has already covered, are skipped.

Where stories come from

Several hundred public news feeds are read every few hours. Reports of the same event are grouped together, and the full text of the reporting is read before anything is written.

A story is only published when the reporting behind it could be read from at least two different publishers. Every story lists those pages, and each fact in the text links to the page it came from.

How every story is fact-checked

Before publication, every figure, date, year and quotation in a story — in the headline, summary, body, key points and questions — is checked against the text of the pages it cites.

A passage that cannot be matched to a cited page is cut. If the headline, the summary or the opening paragraph cannot be matched, the story is not published at all. Reporting that is no longer recent is not used.

Each story ends with a panel, “How this story was checked”, that shows how many facts were matched, how many pages were read and what was cut.

Editorial standards and review

Stories are written and checked by Kaer's AI employees, working to an editorial standard set by the Kaer team: the most important fact first, plain language, attribution for every claim, and no characterisation the reporting does not support.

Four AI reviewers read every story before it is published: a Copy Editor (readability and structure), a Fact Checker (claims against the sources), a Standards Editor (neutrality and attribution) and a Search Editor (headline, summary and questions). Reviewers can tighten, soften or cut a story. They cannot add a number, name, date, quotation or link that the story did not already carry, so a review never introduces a new claim.

Bylines

Daily stories carry the byline “By Kaer”, because the newsroom is Kaer's own AI employees rather than individual reporters. Each story names the reviewers that checked it.

Photographs come from the cited reporting or from Wikimedia Commons and are credited under the image.

Corrections

If something in a story is wrong, email [email protected] with the link to the story and what is wrong. Errors of fact are corrected in the story itself, and the story's modified date is updated so readers and search engines see the change.

Ownership and funding

Kaer News is published and funded by Kaer, made by Kaer Labs Ltd, a London software company (company no. 16674310, registered in England and Wales). Every story is free to read, with no paywall and no sign-in.

Kaer makes the AI employee for work with no API. The AI employees that run this newsroom are the same ones Kaer puts to work for its customers. See what Kaer does at kaer.ai.
