AI-ready news infrastructure

Stop scraping news. Query it.

Delete the crawler, the parser, the dedupe job, and the licensing conversation. One API returns licensed, enriched, prompt-ready news your agents can call directly.

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

The scraper is never actually done.

A weekend prototype turns into a permanent maintenance job: selectors rot, paywalls close, duplicates pile up, and legal asks who approved any of it.

Selectors keep breaking

Every site redesign is an unplanned sprint.

Paywalls end the crawl

The reporting worth having is the reporting you cannot fetch.

You built a data team

Dedupe, enrich, index, backfill — none of it is your product.

Or you delete all of it and call one endpoint: AskNews.

Built for developers

Simple to integrate. Powerful at scale.

AI-native platform

Everything you were about to build.

Retrieval, enrichment, entity resolution, history, and monitoring — behind one API instead of five services you maintain.

News API

Real-time search and retrieval at scale.

MCP/CLI for Agents

Drop AskNews in as a tool your agent already knows how to call.

DeepNews

Agentic deep research when one query is not enough.

Prompt-ready output

Enriched and deduped, so you are not pre-processing before the model.

Historical News

Backfill without writing a second pipeline.

Alerts

Push updates into your app instead of polling for them.

See all capabilities

Enrichments

400% more enrichments/extractions than competitors.

Every AskNews datapoint arrives with the context models need—not a raw article your team still has to process. Real-time news access responds in under 100 ms.

One toolbox

Every source your research needs. One API.

Reach paywalled news, the open web, X, Wikipedia, Google, Reddit, and Podcasts through one consistent AskNews toolbox—without stitching together seven separate integrations.

Bring licensed reporting and the broader web into the same research workflow, then let AskNews retrieve, connect, and structure the evidence.

Research that keeps going when others stop.

DeepNews performs self-learning iterative research across paywalled news, open web content, X, Wikipedia, and much more, to reach never-before-seen research depth and breadth.

Why teams stop building it themselves

The data layer is not your product.

Cleaner context, fewer tokens burned on noise, and an entity graph you would never get around to building.

80%: less spent on data preparation
5x: faster time to production
0: scrapers left to maintain

How do we compare?

Build it, or call it.

Everything in the left column is something your team ends up owning forever.

Approach	The problem	AskNews
In-house scrapers	Permanent maintenance, no paywalled access	One endpoint, licensed sources
Generic AI search	Open web only, noisy, hard to ground	News-specific, enriched, prompt-ready
Traditional news APIs	Raw feeds you still have to process	Structured for models, not for skimming
RSS + vector DB	Shallow coverage, you own the whole pipeline	Retrieval, enrichment, and history included

Customer proof

Infrastructure teams can put into production.

Used by teams across Frontier AI Labs.

Nathan AckermanPresident & CEO at Riley Risk Inc.

"Our analysts are saving valuable time doing geopolitical and security risk analysis for our clients with AskNews' impressive knowledge graphs and forecast tools."

Claudia TietzeCEO & Creative Technologist at Farallon, LLC

"You solve a lot of problems that plague other news-based intelligence product. I put the same queries into Newsplunker as my other OSINT tools. Newsplunker does real research, the other tools struggle."

Tom LiptayDirector of Forecasting at Metaculus

"The majority of winners of the Q3 forecasting tournament used AskNews. That's why our staff converted all of our in-house bots from Perplexity to AskNews for the Q4 tournament."

David SchmeltzlePresident at BizBudding

"When we needed a news API for our sports analytics platform ProMatchups, AskNews was the clear choice. The quality of the data and the ease of use is unmatched."

Marc GraczykCEO at Infinite Games

"Our use-case demands the highest quality data without any sacrifices. AskNews takes this 10 steps further."

Alessandro AmaroCo-founder & CPO at Desia

"We're going into production with AskNews. Your data has much better results quality and latency than the competition."

Arash AminiPostdoctoral Fellow, UAutonomy Lab, University of Texas at Austin

"Our research into misinformation detection with CrediRAG required the highest quality data source. We landed on AskNews and it far exceeded our expectations."

Carolyn MeinelForecasting Expert & President at BestWorld

"After weeding out the most important components for forecasting accuracy, we've identified AskNews as a vital asset and are now quickly climbing the leaderboard in the Metaculus Q4 tournament."

Matthew GranadeLLM developer

"AskNews is a core component of my application, providing high-quality news context when it matters most."

Phil GodzinStaff Software Engineer at JW Player

"In order to win the Q4 Metaculus forecasting tournament, I used great context engineering (AskNews) to make sure the AI used the most up-to-date information."

Joe SegalRAG Specialist

"I would like to thank AskNews for helping my application achieve incredible business insights."

Krasimir AtanasovValue Hunter

"I really liked the AskNews API and the search capabilities."

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!"
