Frame · diplomatic resolution
Stop consuming noise. Start gaining intelligence. The world's first automated news synthesis engine.
Outlets have angles. Editors have bosses. When you read the news, you read one person's understanding of events, not the events themselves.
President says hostilities are over. White House announces phased de-escalation.
Strait of Hormuz remains contested. Iran rejects framing of the conflict as resolved.
Tehran calls ceasefire claim premature. Regional analysts question Washington's framing.
Same day. Same story.You'd come away with three different worlds depending on which one you opened.
The gap is not access; it is context. Without background, multiple frames, and an honest accounting of what is contested versus what is settled, news is just noise. Every reader is asked to do the synthesis themselves, and almost no one has time.
No product synthesizes across sources, social signals, and historical context simultaneously, at scale, without an editorial frame. Aggregators stop at headlines. Bias trackers stop at scoring. Newsletters add another voice. None of them give the reader the picture behind the door.
Apricot News reads every frame at once and produces one coherent document. The reader sees the events, the disagreement, the social signal, and the history that led here, all in one place.
For every Story, three Claude pipelines run in parallel. They merge into a single Master Document, the source of truth for everything the reader sees.
Stages 1 and 2 run continuously, watching for new stories. Stages 3 to 5 fire per Story. The reader sees only Stage 6.
Claude Sonnet now reads forty sources at once and produces a synthesis sharper than any single journalist could write from the same material. This was not true two years ago.
Readers know they are being spun. They have stopped asking which outlet is right; they want the synthesis layer above the news. The audience for honesty is growing, not shrinking.
GNews, Reddit, YouTube Data API, Whisper, Grok via browser, and headless scraping all run at production quality and consumer cost. The full-text-everywhere problem is solved.

On Particle.news. The closest reference. It summarizes news and pulls in some photos. It does not synthesize across sources, does not include social signals, does not generate historical context, and does not surface bias. Ground News and AllSides treat bias as the product; we treat it as a single input among three.
None of these are pricing or distribution. They are structural advantages that get harder to copy each month we run.
Human-curated trust ratings, seeded from AllSides and Ad Fontes, refined every time a new source is added. Not AI-generated. Hand-built and proprietary.
Every Story we run becomes a permanent, structured record. The archive itself becomes valuable: a searchable history of how stories were covered, what was contested, and how the framing shifted.
Combining news, social, and context in one coherent document is technically and operationally hard to replicate at speed. The interaction effects between tracks are where the synthesis quality lives.
The rules that decide what counts as anchored versus contested versus single-source. Tuned over hundreds of dry runs. Provably reduces single-source bias in the final document.
Three stories processed end-to-end through the pipeline. No editors. No brief. Just sources in, intelligence out.
No fake metrics, no hockey-stick projections. Here is what is built and what is next.
Every article was written from inside a frame. Apricot News reads them all.
