AI Work

A fully automated pipeline that monitored the entire 2026 Kentucky General Assembly — 131 committee meetings transcribed, analyzed, and delivered as editorial reports without a reporter in the room. Built in MindStudio using AssemblyAI transcription and Claude for analysis. Story ideas reviewed by the EP, forwarded to reporters for assignment. Thirty-eight stories aired at $1.65 each.

Replaced VLC Media Player with a browser-based dashboard giving producers instant visual access to 244 statewide Kentucky DOT traffic cameras. Built in 4.5 hours with no engineering support. Seven producers use it daily in the control room. Costs $18 a month to run.

Monitors 12 Kentucky news outlets twice daily and runs every story through a two-pass editorial scoring system. Stories that clear the threshold get three AI-generated angles: the claim worth verifying, the hole in this specific report, and the systemic story hiding underneath. Built to find what's missing, not just what's there.

Converts any broadcast package script into seven production-ready formats — intro, VOSOT, tease, headline, summary, editorial feedback, and web story — in seconds. Prompts encode more than a decade of broadcast writing standards. Used daily. Output appears in real time via server-sent events.

A nightly RSS capture system that queues the day's local Spectrum News stories for morning review. Tag what's worth revisiting, set an interval, and the follow-up lands on a shared Google Calendar automatically. Pre-populated with annual milestones — disaster anniversaries, mass shooting dates, recurring events — so coverage doesn't get forgotten until the day before.
