Used in the field

From the UK Cabinet Office and Frontier AI Labs to organizations across insurance, intelligence, private equity, and hedge funds.

Built on trusted, licensed sources

The problem

Monitoring does not scale by reading faster.

Keyword feeds bury analysts in duplicates, dashboards cannot be wired into your own systems, and the reporting that matters most sits behind a paywall.

Keyword alert floods

Hundreds of near-duplicates for one real development.

Paywalled reporting

The most specific local coverage never reaches your feed.

Dashboard-only tools

Nothing you can call from your own workflow or model.

Monitoring belongs in your stack, not in a tab: AskNews.

Built for watch floors

From signal to brief, programmatically.

Detect the change, pull the surrounding context, and produce the write-up — as API calls your systems can schedule and audit.

Alerts

Trigger on entities, regions, and event types — not raw keywords.

Real-time detection

Global reporting the moment it publishes.

DeepNews

Turn a triggered alert into a sourced situation report.

Knowledge Graph

Follow the actors, places, and organizations behind an event.

Multilingual coverage

Local-language reporting, translated and normalized.

MCP/CLI for Agents

Wire monitoring into your own tooling and agents.

Enrichments

How do we compare?

Built to be called, not just read.

Legacy platforms help a person watch the news. AskNews lets your systems act on it.

Approach	The problem	AskNews
Keyword alert feeds	Duplicate noise, no entity resolution	Entity- and event-level triggers
Legacy monitoring suites	Seat-based dashboards you cannot integrate	API-first, wired into your stack
Generic AI search	Public web only, no local depth	Licensed multilingual reporting
Manual analyst sweeps	Does not scale past a handful of watches	Scheduled, auditable, unlimited watches

Customer proof

Tom LiptayDirector of Forecasting at Metaculus

David SchmeltzlePresident at BizBudding

Matthew GranadeLLM developer

Phil GodzinStaff Software Engineer at JW Player

Krasimir AtanasovValue Hunter

BohdanNewsplunker enthusiast

"I really love your product ."

Janna LuEvaluating LLMs on Real-World Forecasting Against Expert Forecasters

"An LLM does better when fed news articles from AskNews over Perplexity, mostly because the news articles are more up-to-date. Perplexity sometimes would return news articles that are a few years old, which could be helpful but often confuses the model."

PascaleLeidos

"This tool is saving me countless hours for research. I wish I could give it a second endorsement!"
