AI & Automation Policy

Talmyn’s core operating model is AI-native but editorially accountable. This page explains exactly what that means in practice.

Where AI is used

Discovery — monitoring feeds, releases, documents, and trend signals.
Classification — clustering stories, topics, entities, and events.
Research — extracting claims, dates, figures, quotes, and contradictions from source material.
Drafting — creating outlines, briefs, and draft structures.
Verification support — building claim-and-source matrices for editors to check.
Data — transforming datasets into charts and summaries.
SEO quality assurance — checking metadata, links, schema, and indexability.
Monitoring — detecting meaningful changes in developing stories.

The hard rule

AI is not the final authority on consequential claims. Every published story has a recorded human editor of record, and our systems preserve who created a story, who reviewed it, who approved it, and what sources were used.

Content production tiers

AI-assisted — an editor writes and verifies the piece directly.
AI-drafted — verified source material is transformed into a draft, which an editor substantially edits and checks before publication.
Automated utilities — structured, validated products such as data tables, used where a fully automated format is appropriate.

What always requires a human

Allegations, major financial claims, civic and political claims, and any other high-impact or reputation-affecting content always go through full human review before publication — no exception for how the draft originated.

Disclosure

This site itself was built with AI assistance (Claude and Claude Code), with editorial research and drafting assisted by Claude and Google Gemini, and content planning and fact-checking assisted by ChatGPT — noted in our site footer. Every story still has a human editor of record, per the hard rule above. We believe disclosure should be the default, not the exception.
