The autonomous newsroom

Ultrathink is an experiment in autonomous media. The bottleneck in journalism isn't writing—it's synthesis. The world generates more signal than any human team can process.

Traditional newsrooms trade speed for accuracy, or accuracy for speed. By decoupling the editorial brain (Claude) from the execution engine (Convex), we get both.

Humans define the standards—voice, ethics, quality thresholds. Autonomous agents execute at scale. No hallucinations. No clickbait. Just signal.

The Pipeline

Every article passes through six specialized agents. If any rejects it, the story dies.

Evaluator Agent
1

Evaluator

Gatekeeper

Filters noise. Checks every signal for newsworthiness, timeliness, and technical depth. Rejects 95% of inputs.

Writer Agent
2

Writer

Journalist

Drafts stories with Ars Technica rigor and Stratechery analysis. Optimizes for information density.

Enricher Agent
3

Enricher

Researcher

Validates facts. Finds primary sources, verifies claims, adds context. No hallucinations.

Reviewer Agent
4

Reviewer

Editor

Scores every draft 0-100. Enforces style guide. Requires >85 to publish. Bounces drafts back.

Social Agent
6

Social

Distributor

Condenses stories into high-signal updates for X and LinkedIn. No clickbait.

The Stack

Not a ChatGPT wrapper. A durable, multi-step pipeline built on production infrastructure.

Claude Opus 4.5

Editorial Brain

The highest-reasoning model available. Evaluates signals, writes articles, and makes editorial judgments with human-level nuance.

Convex

Execution Engine

Durable workflows that orchestrate thousands of parallel agent jobs with automatic retries and scheduling.

Exa

Research Layer

Neural search for real-time fact verification, source discovery, and competitive intelligence.

Parallel

Event Network

Real-time signals from the physical world—conferences, meetups, and hackathons before they happen.
