How stories are made

Every story tells you where it comes from.

  1. A named source

    Each story starts from facts reported by a named source, such as a science agency, a research institute or a library.

  2. Rewritten with AI, at six levels

    AI rewrites the facts in new words for every level from A1 to C2. Every story is checked before it is published.

  3. Linked to the original

    Every story names its source and links to the original report. Images made by AI are labelled as AI-generated.
