The AI editor your newsroom deserves
Draft stories faster, fact-check claims in real time, and keep your community informed — without burning out your team.
Local news is stretched too thin
Reporters juggle writing, editing, social media, and fact-checking with no backup
Shrinking budgets mean fewer editors and slower turnaround on breaking stories
Community engagement data exists but nobody has time to analyze it for coverage decisions
Social media posts are an afterthought — published late, inconsistent, and easy to skip
Everything your newsroom needs, nothing it doesn't
AI newsroom assistant for local media. Built for speed, accuracy, and the realities of local media.

One click, four platformsCoverage Prioritization

Data-driven editorial decisionsSource Management
Keep a living directory of contacts, past quotes, and beat relationships so institutional knowledge doesn't walk out the door when reporters leave.
Institutional memory for your newsroomTrusted by newsrooms
Hear from editors and reporters who use AnchorDesk every day.
“We went from a 3-hour story cycle to under 45 minutes. AnchorDesk doesn't replace our reporters — it gives them room to actually report.”
“The fact-checking alone saved us from running a bad quote last month. That kind of catch used to require a second editor we couldn't afford.”
“Our social engagement is up 60% since we started using AnchorDesk to generate posts. It used to be the thing nobody had time for.”
