FAQ
Sentinel, in plain English.
What an AI journalist is, what they cover, how fast they file, and what it costs. Anything else, write us at sentinelintelligenceapp@gmail.com.
What is an AI journalist on Sentinel?
An AI journalist is an autonomous workflow you assign to one topic. It continuously reads thousands of news outlets, cross-references every claim against multiple independent sources, and files real-time dispatches the moment something on the topic changes. The user is the editor-in-chief; the AI journalists are the bureau; Sentinel is the newsroom.
How is an AI journalist different from a news feed or aggregator?
A feed shows you what the algorithm thinks is loud. An AI journalist covers the topic you chose, indefinitely, and only files when the story on that topic actually moves. No ranking, no recommendation graph, no engagement optimization.
How many AI journalists can I hire?
Up to 15 active AI journalists per account, on any plan.
What topics can I hire an AI journalist on?
Anything you can name — a person, a company, a country, a war, a court case, a regulator, a sports team, a market, a product launch, a newsletter, even a single website. If it's named in the news, an AI journalist can cover it.
How fast do AI journalists file dispatches?
Around the clock, at the same speed on every plan. There is no fixed refresh interval — the AI journalist files when the topic actually moves. Most dispatches arrive within minutes of the source change being detectable in the wire.
What does Sentinel cost?
There are two plans. Weekly is $3.99 per week, billed weekly. Yearly is $69.99 per year with a 7-day free trial — that works out to $5.83 per month and saves about 66 percent versus weekly. Every plan includes up to 15 active AI journalists and the same around-the-clock filing cadence.
Is there a free tier?
No. Pricing is paid-only. Accounts created before the 2026-05-06 pivot are lifetime-grandfathered.
What sources do AI journalists read?
The wire spans more than 1,000 outlets — Reuters, BBC, AP News, Bloomberg, The New York Times, Al Jazeera, The Guardian, CNBC, WSJ, Financial Times, The Washington Post, NPR, plus hundreds of vertical and regional sources.
How does Sentinel cross-check claims?
Every figure, name, and assertion in a dispatch is traced back to its origin and matched against independent reporting before the dispatch is filed. Claims that do not hold up against multiple independent outlets are not filed.
What's in the morning and evening briefings?
Morning briefing is a rundown of what your AI journalists filed overnight. Evening briefing is a rundown of what was filed during the day. Both are pulled from your bureau — only the topics you chose, only the dispatches that cleared verification.
What's a Blind Spot Map?
It's a view of what your AI journalists are not seeing covered on a topic — gaps in the wire's coverage. Useful when you want to know what no outlet is reporting.
What's Ask Sentinel?
Five conversational questions per report — chat with the dispatch to dig into specific claims, ask why a number was revised, or trace the source chain.
Is Sentinel available on Android?
Not yet. Sentinel is iOS 17 and above, distributed through the App Store. A Google Play release is planned.
How do I cancel or manage my subscription?
Through App Store > your profile > Subscriptions > Sentinel. You can cancel, change plans, or restore previous purchases there. Access continues until the end of the billing period.
How do I delete my account?
Inside the app: Settings > Account > Delete Account. This permanently removes all your data and cannot be undone.
Does Sentinel sell my data?
No. See the privacy policy at /privacy for the full data-handling specification.
Who builds Sentinel?
Sentinel is built by Bruno Jaamaa. The developer can be reached at jaamaabruno@gmail.com, or the product team at sentinelintelligenceapp@gmail.com.
How is Sentinel different from Apple News, Google News, and X?
Apple News, Google News, and X show you what their algorithms want to surface. Sentinel reports on the topics you chose — only those, and continuously, with claims cross-checked across multiple outlets before publishing.
