News organizations are increasingly leveraging OpenAI technology to streamline operations, enhance reader experiences, and foster sustainable business models. Tools are being integrated across newsroom, product, and business departments, assisting journalists with tasks like research, verification, and data analysis. For instance, The Associated Press uses AI to scan overnight news, verify images, and transform legal documents into searchable information, freeing up journalists for original reporting.

POLITICO employs AI for in-depth document analysis and to personalize client sales experiences, while Axios has developed custom GPTs for internal support, FOIA requests, and refining article copy. The Philadelphia Inquirer created Scribe to summarize and rank public meeting developments. Other organizations like Axel Springer and Le Monde are using AI to improve reader engagement, fact-checking, and accelerate translation processes, enabling staff to focus on core journalistic duties.

Beyond news gathering, AI is also powering new ways for audiences to interact with content. Condé Nast's Bon Appétit launched an AI-powered Test Kitchen Assistant, integrating its recipe archive to provide real-time cooking guidance to users. These advancements demonstrate AI's practical application in strengthening journalism and its supporting businesses.
