AI + Human Collaboration, Built for Newsrooms

The CMS running AI‑assisted, human‑reviewed newsrooms — print and web, every day.

We're not a news publisher. We're the platform underneath one — the same system that generates, reviews, and publishes daily editions for multiple real newspapers, from wire ingestion to a printed page.

Most newsroom software makes you choose: fast-but-unsupervised AI, or reliable-but-slow manual editing. SmartLens keeps a human in the loop at the one point that matters — final approval — and automates everything around it.

One platform. Every stage of the newsroom.

Built from real, daily production use — not a feature checklist.

AI

AI-assisted drafting

Headline and body rewriting, content scoring, and layout-fitting so a wire story lands in the right slot at the right length automatically.

MP

Multi-publication, multi-edition

One backend serves many mastheads and editions — each with its own branding, section layout, and page structure.

EP

Automated daily ePaper

Print-ready CMYK and web-ready RGB PDFs generated on a schedule, per section, with masthead and layout tuned to each client.

RSS

Wire & RSS ingestion

Continuous story ingestion with AI-scored importance, landing in a triage queue an editor can approve in bulk or story-by-story.

OK

Email-based review & approval

Reviewers get a plain email link to view the PDF, crop an image, request changes to a page, or approve straight to production — no login required.

WEB

Web publishing, same pipeline

The same approved content goes live on the client's website — multi-tenant, per-client branding, one publish action.

ID

Roles & permissions

Edition-level access for print staff, section-level access for web editors — scoped to exactly what each role should touch.

IMG

Built-in image tools

Crop and recompose images directly against the live layout, plus AI image generation for stories without usable art.

From wire story to printed page — one flow

  1. 01
    Ingest. Stories arrive from PTI, RSS feeds, or wire services and land in a triage queue, already AI-scored for importance.
  2. 02
    AI draft. Headlines, body copy, and layout slotting happen automatically, matched to each section's page design.
  3. 03
    Human review. An editor gets a review link by email — view the combined PDF, crop an image, request changes to a specific page.
  4. 04
    Publish. One approval pushes the edition live — print-ready PDF and website, at the same time.

A visual breakdown of this pipeline is coming soon — for now, the four steps above are exactly how every edition ships today.
