Method

Plain News by AI groups updates by story, shows timestamps, and separates source notes from summary text. The aim is to help readers understand what happened, what changed, and how reliable or uncertain the information appears to be.

How stories are prepared

1. Collect source material: stories should be based on identifiable source material such as official statements, public records, news agencies, reputable publishers, or direct source documents.
2. Summarise clearly: AI may help draft short summaries, simplify wording, organise timelines, and identify important developments.
3. Separate facts from claims: where possible, the website should distinguish confirmed facts, reported claims, background context, and unresolved uncertainty.
4. Update by story: when a story develops, updates should be grouped with the existing story rather than creating disconnected fragments.
5. Show timing: timestamps help readers see when a story was published or last updated.

Use of AI

AI is used as an assistance tool. It may help summarise, structure, translate, classify, or simplify news information. AI output should not be treated as automatically correct.

The long-term aim is to use AI to improve clarity, consistency, and speed while keeping source transparency and uncertainty visible to readers.

Limitations

This website may contain mistakes, omissions, delays, or incomplete context, especially while it is still an early version. Developing stories can change quickly. Readers should check original sources where accuracy is important.

Plain News by AI does not claim to be perfectly neutral or perfectly complete. The aim is to reduce spin, explain uncertainty, and make the source basis easier to see.
