Lede Ai is designed to create high school sports stories immediately after the game using AI (artificial intelligence) generated writing.
“The stories we produce through Lede Ai are focused on what people are searching for in the minutes after a game ends — which is the result,” says Larry Phillips, managing editor, Richland Source.
“We deliver a concise, readable summary faster than anyone else.” The solution is the fruit of Richland’s partnership with Aubundat, an AI solutions provider.
