01 / What it does

A satirical AI news channel with cartoon anchors.

  • 01

    A studio on your machine

    Fictional anchors read a rundown while their lips move on character timestamps.

  • 02

    Keyless demo first

    The first run plays canned satire scripts; a language model and ElevenLabs voices are optional.

  • 03

    Labelled satire

    The chyron, trust bar and scripts all say satire, and rumor scanning is off by default.

02 / The record

What it can prove, and where it stops.

Proven safeguard
Satire is labelled on the chyron, trust bar and scripts, and rumor scanning is off by default.
Limits
Operators are responsible for what they broadcast: the software does not make you a newsroom and does not verify claims.
