Sarah's story

From staff layoff to local outlet — by lunchtime.

Sarah covered Hudson Valley politics for 14 years before her paper folded. Tuesday morning she found Bureau, signed up, and by 10 AM hudsonvalleydaily.com was running an AI-generated news site on her custom domain — with her byline, her topic angles, and her voice on the daily podcast.

By Tuesday evening she had four journalists configured (her plus three colleagues she'd worked with), six beats covering schools, town board, river economy, and arts & culture. The next morning at 6:30 AM, the first scheduled run shipped four articles and a 12-minute podcast episode without her touching a thing.
