News Factory & AI Content

News Factory & 70 AI Specialists Guide

Generate news content from live RSS feeds, produce URL-to-video transformations, route to 70+ specialized AI copywriters, and publish directly to your social channels.

What is the News Factory?

The News Factory is your AI-powered content intelligence engine. It monitors live news RSS feeds for your keywords, transforms articles into multimedia content (video, blog posts, social posts), and distributes them across your channels — all automatically.

Key capabilities:

  • Keyword-based news radar — monitors 1,000+ RSS feeds for your topics
  • AI article rewriting — rewrites news into unique blog content for your site
  • URL-to-Video conversion — paste any article URL → produces an MP4 news video
  • Social routing — auto-posts generated content to your connected social accounts
  • News Sentinel — sets up an autonomous background monitor with scheduled publishing

News Sentinel — Autonomous Radar

The News Sentinel is an always-on background monitor that scans for news matching your keyword matrix and auto-publishes content on your schedule — without you having to manually check.

Setting Up the News Sentinel

  1. Go to Dashboard → News Factory
  2. In the Keyword Radar section, add your tracked keywords (e.g., "AI marketing", "digital banking Ghana")
  3. Set your preferred news sources (Google News, Bing News, or custom RSS feeds)
  4. Set the publishing schedule (e.g., every 6 hours, daily at 9am)
  5. Choose your output type:
    • Draft — saves generated content as a draft for your review
    • Auto-Publish — immediately pushes to your connected social platforms
  6. Toggle Sentinel Active to ON — the radar begins monitoring in the background

Auto-Publish mode will post content to your connected social accounts immediately when a news match is found. Review your keyword list carefully before enabling auto-publish to ensure content quality and relevance.

URL-to-Video Transformation

Paste any article URL and BrandedClaws will extract the content, summarize it with AI, and generate a cinematic video news segment automatically.

  1. Go to Dashboard → News Factory → URL Ingestion
  2. Paste the article URL into the input field
  3. Select your Aspect Ratio (16:9 for YouTube, 9:16 for Reels/TikTok)
  4. Select the AI news presenter voice (from your ElevenLabs voice library)
  5. Choose whether to include AI-generated B-roll visuals
  6. Click Generate Video
  7. The video renders on GPU servers and appears in your Media Library when complete

Troubleshooting

No news articles appearing in radar
Check that your keywords are specific enough. Very broad keywords (e.g., 'news') may be rate-limited. Also verify your search provider API key in Admin Center → LLM & Search Config.
URL-to-Video fails with 'extraction error'
Some news sites block automated content extraction (paywall or anti-bot protection). Try a different article URL or paste the article text directly into the AI Specialist input instead.
Sentinel keeps generating off-topic content
Refine your keyword list. Use more specific phrases and add negative keywords (topics to exclude) in the keyword radar settings.
Social auto-publish is not working
Verify that your social platforms are connected in Admin Center → Social Media OAuth. Also ensure the 'social.post' permission is enabled for your account.
