"Looking at the tools today that didn't exist a year ago-deep research, browser agents, the big leaps in performance for all the latest models-there's a host of ways AI can speed up or enhance many tasks of knowledge workers, especially journalists. As an independent journalist, I'm perhaps a little less constrained than most (my AI policy is whatever I want it to be), and AI has made me rethink how every part of the job gets done."
"Beat monitoring: The set of stories that any individual reporter needs to keep up with is different, and AI's ability to personalize and summarize is extremely helpful here. I find ChatGPT Pulse-which doesn't just compile stories, but explains why they're relevant to your work and includes other personal info (like your schedule)-to be extremely helpful, but it's also constrained to the Pro plan ($200/month)."
AI has reshaped journalistic workflows over the past year, introducing capabilities that accelerate research, summarization, and content production. New tools such as deep research systems, browser agents, and substantially improved model performance enable faster, more personalized work for knowledge workers. Journalists can use AI for beat monitoring, personalized summaries, and scheduled alerts that deliver relevant stories and contextual explanations. Some curated services explain relevance and integrate personal data like schedules but may require paid plans. Other tools allow crafted prompts to search and email the latest stories. Workflows can be organized around the story process from ideation through publishing and social sharing.
