Sentinel for journalists — track every beat-adjacent development across the wire

Example topics to hire on

• Your primary beat. Whatever you cover daily — companies, sector, regulator, country. Sentinel makes sure nothing on it slips past.
• Adjacent beats your stories touch. When your beat intersects with adjacent ones, you need to know what those other reporters are filing on too.
• The major players you cover. CEOs, regulators, politicians, court cases — one AI journalist per major figure.
• Your editor's priorities. If your editor cares about a topic that's not your daily beat, hire an AI journalist on it so you walk into meetings prepared.
• Your competitors' bylines. Track what reporters on your beat at other outlets are publishing.

What a typical day looks like

Pre-shift: open Sentinel. Morning briefing rolls up overnight dispatches across your bureau. You know what hit on every topic you cover before your first call.

During the day: pushes when something material moves on a topic. Source chain is visible, so you can attribute and verify in seconds — much faster than retracing the wire.

End of shift: evening briefing closes the day. You leave the newsroom knowing everything your bureau filed today.

What changes for you

• You stop bouncing between Twitter, Slack, and the wire to keep tabs on your beat.
• You catch fewer false-positive 'breaking' stories that turn out to be wrong — Sentinel doesn't file what isn't cross-referenced.
• Your pitch meetings are stronger because you walk in already aware of what's moving.
• Your source-attribution work shrinks because the source chain is attached to every dispatch.

Pick Sentinel if you

• Cover a defined beat for an outlet, freelance, or a newsletter.
• Need to know about every material development on your topics in time to act.
• Are tired of doing your own multi-outlet triangulation manually.
