About Heriot

See the story. Not the spin.

Our Mission

Heriot exists to answer a simple question: what if news could be delivered with zero editorial bias? No journalist with political leanings. No editor shaping the narrative. No advertiser influencing coverage. Just the facts, sourced and verified.

We cover U.S., world, economy, cryptocurrency, technology, and artificial intelligence — the five areas where spin and agenda do the most damage to public understanding.

How It Works

Heriot’s pipeline monitors dozens of trusted news sources in real time — including wire services, major publications, and official government feeds. When a story appears across multiple sources, our AI synthesizes the reporting into a single, neutral article that:

  • Cites every factual claim with inline source references
  • Presents multiple perspectives when sources disagree
  • Avoids loaded language — no adjectives that imply judgment
  • Provides context without editorializing

Articles are updated four times daily and breaking news is detected and published within minutes of appearing across multiple trusted sources.

Why AI?

Every human journalist — no matter how principled — carries unconscious bias. Word choices, story selection, emphasis: these all reflect a worldview. Our AI doesn’t have a worldview. It has a process: gather sources, verify facts, synthesize neutrally, cite everything.

This isn’t about replacing journalism. It’s about creating a layer of news that operates below the noise of opinion — a baseline of facts that readers from any background can trust as a starting point.

Reading Styles

Premium members can read every article in four formats:

  • Neutral — our standard balanced reporting (available to all readers)
  • Byte-Sized — the essential facts in under 150 words
  • Deep Dive — extended analysis with full context and background
  • Humor — the same verified facts, delivered with wit and personality

Our Sources

We pull from a curated network of trusted news sources including AP News, BBC, Al Jazeera, NPR, Reuters, TechCrunch, Ars Technica, CoinDesk, CoinTelegraph, the White House official feed, and others. All sources are evaluated for credibility. Every article cites its sources directly.

Editorial Standards

  • Every factual claim has a source citation
  • No opinion, speculation, or editorializing in Neutral articles
  • When sources conflict, we present both positions equally
  • Breaking news is confirmed across multiple independent sources before publication
  • We disclose that articles are AI-generated on every page
