AI-powered journalism, with your taste and editorial ownership
Suru is an AI reporting assistant that turns your interviews, notes and photos into checked, ready-to-edit & published journalism
What makes Suru different
Built for quality journalism
Suru does the drudgery
Record a conversation or share rough notes. Suru transcribes, drafts and formats while you concentrate on the reporting.
Checked before you publish
Every draft runs through an AI journalism check for sourcing, neutrality and verifiable facts. You review every finding.
Human ownership of every word
Real names, disclosed editorial ownership and a signed public charter make clear who stands behind the journalism.

Ready-to-publish nudges, capture in one tap, every story tracked.

Independent local reporting
The Sandoval Sentinel
Edited by James Sandoval
Your name, masthead and editorial ownership are public on every address
Journo Check
AI journalism check
Every draft reviewed before publish, incl. sourcing, neutrality and verifiability flagged inline, the way an editor would mark up a galley proof.
The draft is factually consistent but lacks attribution and requires confirmation of the date and location.

Editorial charter
Rules of the road that matter
Every publisher signs the Suru Editorial Charter — modelled on NYT, Guardian, and Reuters practice. A framework, not a rulebook.
Read the charter →Designed for the solo reporter
You cover a borough, a city, or a neighbourhood. You have no dev team, no editorial support, and no time to become a digital marketing expert. Suru handles everything else.
Get Started FreeThe hyperlocal founder
Left a regional paper to start their own coverage of the borough they grew up in. Needs a platform that matches their editorial standards.
The neighbourhood insider
Attends every council meeting, knows every local business owner. Has the stories but not the tools. Suru is the missing piece.
The local media builder
Running a small editorial team across a city. Wants subscriber revenue, the efficiency of Suru, and a credibility framework readers can trust.
