Newsdesk finds the stories, writes the script and produces the audio. You set the rules, add company updates and decide how much to review.
You set priorities and add updates. We produce the audio.
Tell the desk which sources, topics and regions matter, and what to leave out. It builds the running order from that, and you can edit it before it airs.
Change a category below. See what rises and what stays out.
Product development and its place in the category.
A change in buying patterns to keep in view.
A policy development with decisions ahead.
3 stories in this example
Changes stay in this example. Your real desk also weighs sourcing, relevance and editorial judgement.
Set sources, topics and regions. Weight relevance, freshness and source authority.
Promote a story, move it to the tail, change its angle or bring back one the desk left out.
At setup, you name and brand the edition, choose the anchor and shape the sound with our desk. It stays the same every morning after.
The anchor is AI. It reads your edition; it never adds an opinion.
Forward a memo, a townhall recap or a launch note to your desk. Choose where it sits beside the industry news, and preserve the exact wording when it matters.
“Our new regional office brings the product and customer teams together.”
Sample internal update · read as written
Lead with the industry. Your company update follows in the same edition.
The desk remembers what it considered and what it covered. New information gets context. Yesterday’s news doesn’t return with a different headline.
The proposal and its implications earn a place in the briefing.
CoveredAnother outlet repeats the story. There is no material development.
Repeat held outThe follow-up leads with what changed, with the earlier report as context.
Update includedAlready-covered stories are suppressed; follow-ups are framed as follow-ups.
See why a story made or missed the cut. Recover a useful near-miss when you need it.
Permanent exclusions stay excluded. An age limit keeps old material out.
Before production, every script is checked for unattributed claims, risky wording and length. The checks run whether or not a person approves the edition.
“This is the first service of its kind.”
“The company describes the service as the first of its kind.”
An example of a targeted correction—not a claim about a real company.
Who says it, and on what basis?
Claims, characterisation and objectivity.
Keep the briefing within its format.
The desk prepares the running order, then waits. No approval, no edition.
Set the start hour, deadline and air days for your desk.Reach people through a podcast app, your intranet or a morning email. The planned Fivewire app adds company sign-in. Every edition also comes with a short clip and a listening report.
A private RSS feed and setup instructions for compatible apps, including Apple Podcasts and YouTube Music.
Apple Podcasts
YouTube MusicPlanned access modelAn individual feed after corporate email verification and company administrator eligibility checks.
Audio, transcript and show notes, ready to embed in your intranet or link from a morning email.
A short social clip for your internal network, pointing people to the edition.
Downloads and unique listeners by edition, with aggregate audience breakdowns.
The planned Fivewire app would bring the briefing and transcript behind corporate single sign-on (SSO), with access managed by your company.
SSO offers stronger identity checks than an RSS link. A feed link can be forwarded; audio already downloaded cannot be recalled.
Explore the planned access modelNo employee-by-employee listening view. Downloads are not a measure of completion.
Explore an example listening reportEvery control, grouped by area. Open the ones your team cares about.
Reorder stories, or move them between the main five and the quick hits. Block a story for today or permanently. Bring back one the desk left out. Edit a story's angle or wording, or reopen an approved edition.
The rundown is prepared overnight. Until the deadline it is yours; one approval locks it and writes the script.
Stories already covered are left out. Follow-ups are presented as follow-ups. Blocked stories never return. Stories older than your limit are refused.
Every story the desk considered is recorded with the reason it made or missed the cut, so you can bring one back.
Full auto builds the rundown, then scripts, checks, produces and publishes it at the deadline. Approval required builds the rundown and waits for your editor.
Both modes run the same process. The only difference is whether a person approves the edition.
A second model reads every script for defamation risk, attribution gaps and characterisation, and attaches the smallest fix. Roughly thirty objectivity rules govern the writing. A length check keeps each edition to five minutes.
Guardrails run before produce, on every edition, in both modes.
Sources you add. Weights across materiality, relevance, novelty, breadth, actionability, corroboration, source authority and freshness. Minimum scores to lead or be mentioned. Topics with limits. Source trust levels.
Your written rules become the desk’s editorial settings.
Your own edition name and cover, branded your way. The AI anchor you choose. Produced intro and outro. Tone, dos and don'ts, forbidden words. A pronunciation dictionary you can audition.
Set with you at setup, then carried by every edition.
Each desk has an address. Forward the memo, the townhall recap, the press release. It goes into the rundown where you choose, read word for word when needed.
Company updates go through the same approval as everything else. Items marked read as written are never rewritten.
The desk also reads what the trade and the press say about your company. Every story that mentions you is flagged before it airs: keep it, review it first, or drop it.
Every candidate story is checked for mentions of your company before the rundown is locked. Your own version can go in as a company update, read word for word.
Ten categories: competitor moves, markets and demand, innovation and launches, financial results, stock movements, regulation and policy, people and leadership, sustainability, consumer and shopper trends, hiring and labour. Each one Lead, Include or Mute.
Lead gives a category priority, up to a limit. Mute leaves it out. The desk ranks the rest within your rules.
A private feed for Apple Podcasts or YouTube Music. An edition page for intranet and email. A Fivewire app with corporate SSO is planned. Clips and aggregate reports support the briefing.
Published at 05:00. The report follows.
