HOW WE MAKE THE NEWS

Every story is written by AI from public sources and lists its receipts: the documents, statements, data and footage behind it, so you can check our work.

How a story is made

1Gather sources

Our system collects official statements, documents, data releases, reports and footage as they're published.

2Write

AI writes the story using only those sources.

3Double-check

A second AI pass, starting fresh, reads the draft next to the sources and flags anything unsupported: claims, quotes or numbers. Flagged drafts are not published.

4Publish & log

Published with its sources listed and an archived copy of each. Changes are logged on the page.

How we use AI

The Torch Daily is written and published automatically by AI. No person reviews a story before it goes live. That's why every story shows its sources: you can check each claim yourself.

Every story lists its sources, and the double-check is built to catch claims, quotes or numbers the sources don't support. Some stories are never published automatically at all, including allegations against private individuals, stories about minors, unverified casualty figures and claims that only come from social media posts.
