For local and community newsrooms
Stop rewriting the same routine stories every morning.
Copper AI for Publishers drafts the recurring stories your newsroom runs every day — reviewed, cited to source, saved as a WordPress draft. Launching with daily booking reports.
Currently in private beta with anonymous local publishers. General availability coming when the first pilots ship.
How Copper AI works
Copper AI pulls your municipality's daily booking report the moment it's published.
Your editorial rules — in plain English — decide which bookings are newsworthy. A writing agent drafts a structured article in the tone your publication already uses.
Every factual claim is checked against the source report before the draft lands in your WordPress editor, ready for a reporter's byline and your publish button.
You stay in control. Every piece Copper AI produces is saved as a draft for your team to review — nothing publishes itself.
Available at launch
Booking Reports
The first module in Copper AI for Publishers automates the jail booking write-up your team does every weekday.
- A URL to your municipality's booking feed.
- Plain-English filter rules ("include DUIs and felonies; exclude misdemeanor trespassing unless repeat offender").
- Daily ingest at a time you choose.
- A structured article in your chosen tone.
- A reviewed draft in WordPress, with your author / tags / categories set.
- A fact-check pass against the original source report.
Tone: Straight, Conversational, Formal, or Community-Focused
Heads up: booking report formats are different everywhere. If we don't already support your municipality's feed, our technical team sets it up for you — you never have to write a line of config.
One price per module. No per-seat billing, no surprise overage.

Built for newsrooms that still do the work.
Copper AI for Publishers is built for local and community newsrooms who spend 30–60 minutes every day on routine coverage — booking reports today, obituaries and sports scores soon. If that's your team, you already know which stories are worth your reporters' time and which are eating it. Copper AI handles the second category, in your voice, as drafts you approve.

Frequently asked
- Does Copper AI publish anything on its own?
- No. Everything lands as a WordPress draft for your team to review.
- Is this a WordPress plugin or an external tool?
- It's a WordPress plugin. Your team works inside the editor you already use. The AI work happens on our servers — you never touch it.
- Which AI does it use?
- We handle the AI layer. Copper AI is model-agnostic — you never manage an API key or a model setting to get value from it.
