Shared AI infrastructure for African newsrooms — 12 composable AI agents, federated execution, Observatory + Mentorship layer. Apache-2.0. # Grounded **Shared AI infrastructure for African newsrooms.** Eight composable AI **agents** that do journalism work + five **tools** that support newsroom operations, a drag-and-drop workflow builder, an observability layer, and an optional per-newsroom appliance for sensitive work. Built by Develop AI and designed to scale across the African media sector. Apache-2.0. > One person at the newsroom (the "AI champion") composes workflows by dragging agents onto a canvas; the rest of the team uses what the champion ships through a simple web UI. Sensitive material runs locally on the newsroom's own hardware; everything else uses Anthropic Claude in the cloud. --- ## Status (2026-05-18) - **V1 shipped:** eight agents + five tools (Tracker as a shell, real implementation at `/INTEGRATE/tracker`), drag-and-drop Builder, User mode, Postgres-backed workflow registry, encrypted social credentials, OSS-first dependency stack, Anthropic + Ollama fallback path. - **V2 shipped:** Observatory (per-workflow + per-edit telemetry), Mentorship dashboard, 7-tab Legal/Ethics Tracker UX, agentic agents (Verifier + Researcher + Operations with bounded tool-use loops), sensitivity classifier + routing, newsroom-appliance protocol + one-script installer. - **Digital Security Audit (concept-note Tool #5) shipped 2026-05-19:** external-tool inventory + research-grade jurisdiction packs (SA deep, TZ/UG/GH/NG/EU/US/ZW/ZM/KE light) + audit pipeline with one-Haiku-call fix list + report viewer + JSON/Markdown export + Builder block. See `docs/SECURITY_AUDIT_PLAN.md`. - **Pilot scope:** 5 ZimZam newsrooms initially, scaling toward 120+ across the continent. Build window Jul–Dec 2026; grantee charging begins Jan 2027. - **Open source:** Apache-2.0. Designed to outlive Develop AI — any successor team can fork, inspect, and run independently. The product specification of record is `docs/AGENTS.md`. The V2 build plan is in `docs/V2_PLAN.md`. The original funder-facing concept note frames the w …
