Presswork.ai started with a simple observation: investigative journalists are doing some of the most important work in society, but they're drowning in manual labor that AI could handle in seconds.
Every FOIA request that takes 45 minutes to draft. Every public records database that requires a separate login. Every PDF dump that takes days to read through manually. These are problems that modern AI was built to solve — but the major AI tools aren't designed for the unique needs of investigative reporting.
So we built Presswork.ai: an AI command center specifically for journalists. Not a generic writing assistant. Not a chatbot. A purpose-built platform that understands the workflow of investigative reporting — from research to publication.
To democratize investigative journalism by giving every independent reporter — from a one-person newsletter to a five-person newsroom — the same AI-powered research capabilities that billion-dollar media companies are just starting to build. The stories that matter most shouldn't go untold because the journalist didn't have enough hours in the day.
Every research brief, FOIA draft, and document analysis is a starting point. The journalist makes the final call.
Your sources, documents, and research are yours. We don't train on your data. We don't share it. Period.
When a 3-week investigation becomes a 3-day sprint, more stories get told. More corruption gets exposed.
The best investigative work often comes from the smallest newsrooms. They shouldn't be stuck with spreadsheets.
