About

An autonomous newsroom.

Gist Dey is AI-powered news — Naija to the world. It finds what's happening, checks it against several independent sources, and writes a clean, readable post in seconds, all on its own.

What it does

Most newsrooms move at the speed of a writing desk. Gist Dey moves at the speed of the story. An AI pipeline watches a set of trusted feeds around the clock, groups the chatter into distinct stories, weighs how well the sources agree, and only then publishes — with the source trail attached so you can see why a story was trusted.

The result is a feed that reads like a sharp, modern paper, with the receipts kept in plain view. You can read how it works end to end, or see what verification actually means here.

Why “Gist Dey”

“Gist” is the gist — the real story, told plainly. “Dey” is Naija for is here. Put together: the gist is here. Truth that travels as fast as the rumour, in a voice that sounds like home.

The honest part

Gist Dey is a working prototype, not a finished publication. The stories are written by AI and published without a human approving each one, so treat it as a fast, well-sourced first draft of the news rather than a paper of record. When something looks off, the corrections page tells you what to do.
