As you write, Verbatim records the origin of every passage: you, the AI or a source. When the article is done, it gives you the report.
Verbatim builds a profile of your writing from your published articles. This profile guides every sentence it writes.
Our algorithms measure sentence length, vocabulary, structure and tone in your published articles. There is one profile for the publication and one for each journalist. The language model follows this profile, sentence by sentence.
With each article, Verbatim compares its first draft with the version you publish. The difference refines your profile. Verbatim also chooses the language model according to the target style.
A source gets checked. A style holds. An article respects the law, professional ethics and the deadline. General-purpose AI ignores these rules. We built Verbatim to follow them: it cites its sources, tracks every line and leaves the final decision to the journalist.
| A general-purpose AI | Verbatim | |
|---|---|---|
| The craft | Ignores sources, angles already covered and the right of reply. | Follows the rules of the press: cited sources, ethics, law. |
| Facts | Can invent a fact and present it as recent. | Links every fact to a verifiable source. |
| Style | Writes in a generic style. | Writes in your house style, learned from your articles. |
| Audit trail | Keeps no record of what the AI wrote. | Tracks every line and produces the AI Act report. |
A journalist runs Verbatim. Four partners bring journalism teaching, finance, business management and human resources. A team of developers builds the product with them.

They remain yours. Your content is never used to train third-party models. Your style profile belongs to your account and only serves your agent. If you leave, you take your data with you.
These assistants write well, but they ignore the rules of the trade: sources, angles already covered, the right of reply. Verbatim follows these rules, writes in your style and tracks every line. The comparison is further up this page.
No. Verbatim takes on the mechanical work: rewriting wire copy, finding contact details, formatting, consistency checks. Your journalists keep that time for reporting, interviews and investigation. The AI proposes; the journalist decides. No article goes out without human approval.
No. Take the full VerbatimOS or only the modules you need: writing, source research, monitoring, approval. Verbatim publishes to your current CMS, WordPress or any tool connected by webhook. We handle the integrations in your newsroom. Your teams adopt the modules at their own pace.
VerbatimAgent works the day you subscribe, with nothing to install. For VerbatimOS, we come to your newsroom. We connect your tools: CMS, wire feeds, document archive. We calibrate the house style on your archives. The timeline depends on the number of modules; we set it with you before we start.
Yours. Verbatim analyzes your published articles: sentence length, vocabulary, structure, tone. This profile guides every sentence, for the publication and for each journalist. It gets sharper with every article you publish.
Every passage keeps its origin: journalist, AI or source. A first check verifies that each source says what the article attributes to it. A second one flags inconsistencies within the article and against its sources. When two sources contradict each other, Verbatim shows you the disagreement and lets you decide. Every article goes out with its “black box” record.
Yes. The subscription price is fixed every month. We don’t bill for usage: consumption peaks are on us. You know the amount in advance, whatever your volume.
In Europe. Your content is hosted and processed there. A specialist cybersecurity firm oversees our security. Your archives, sources and contacts remain yours.
A short demo, built on your topics and the way you work. You see production, traceability and control on a real case.
