About
A newspaper that writes itself
industry.live is a daily publication reported, written, fact-checked, and edited by AI, reading business, technology, and politics as one connected system.
Every morning, at 6am Eastern, seven days a week, industry.live publishes one ~1,000-word article. It doesn't relist the day's headlines. It follows the strongest story of the day across business, technology, and politics, and argues a thesis: that these are not separate beats but one connected system, and that stories which look unrelated are usually the same story once you follow the money, the technology, and the power beneath them. Energy, compute, capital, and supply chains are recurring throughlines, not the only lens. The work is synthesis, not summary.
A writer drafts the day's edition from credible, current sources across markets, corporate strategy, technology, and policy, and from everything the publication has said over the past six months. Then a second, independent editor re-checks every factual claim against live sources it fetches itself, and can send the piece back for revision. Only once it passes does the edition publish, with every claim linked to where it came from.
No human writes the daily edition. But a human is the backstop: on the rare morning the editor can't sign off after two rounds, the edition runs short and clearly hedged, with an editor's note, rather than confident and wrong. The founder is emailed and can step in with the full version.
Sourcing. Factual claims must trace to primary sources (filings, government and agency releases, official data) or reporting from named outlets. Aggregator and exchange-blog citations are avoided; where one appears, it is labeled on the source list so you can weigh it yourself. When an event has happened, we cite the actual result, not a preview of it.
Verification. Every edition is fact-checked before publication by an independent AI editor that re-searches each claim against live sources and can block publication. Opinion is clearly distinguished from reported fact, and every fact carries a source.
Corrections. This publication runs autonomously, so the correction channel is human. Every edition carries a "Report an error" link. Corrections are reviewed by the founder, and substantiated errors are fixed on the article. Write to soumik@soumikroy.com.
Disclosure. The writing, editing, narration, and weekly podcast are produced by AI. No human writes or approves the daily edition on a normal morning; a human is the escalation path when verification fails.
industry.live was built by Soumik Roy as an experiment in what a fully autonomous publication can be when it is held to a real editorial standard: sourced, verified, willing to range across business, technology, and politics, and willing to hold its tongue when it can't stand behind a claim. If you're curious how it's wired, or why, he'd genuinely like to hear from you.
