Solutions / Local News

The answer engine for local news platforms operating across every market you own.

Inline deploys once across your entire portfolio. Every newsroom, every property, every market — readers ask questions, get answers grounded in your local reporting, and your platform captures the engagement, the inventory, and the intent data.

Why Local News

Why AI-on-content works especially well here.

  • Local news platforms operate at scale-but-fragmented: hundreds of properties, hundreds of editorial voices, one shared reader expectation that AI should answer their questions instantly.
  • Cross-property editorial intelligence is impossible to build by hand. Inline aggregates the queries readers ask in every market into one signal — what topics to cover next, where to redeploy reporters, which markets are converging.
  • Monetization across a portfolio works best when ad inventory and first-party data are centralized. Inline gives your platform a single ad-ops surface and one data pipeline across every property — no per-newsroom rollout required.

What Inline delivers

What Inline does for Local News publishers.

Engagement

Network engagement, not per-site engagement.

When every property in your network ships the same on-site AI experience, sessions deepen across the entire portfolio. One install ramps engagement everywhere, with no editorial lift required from individual newsrooms.

Monetization

One ad-ops surface for the whole network.

Sell conversational inventory across every market from a single rate card. High-interest local events drive question volume; your platform monetizes the spike across the portfolio — direct-sold or network-filled, your choice.

Editorial Intelligence

Portfolio-wide editorial intelligence.

The query feed shows you what readers are asking that your archive doesn't answer — across every market at once. Spot rising topics in one region before they hit another. Brief every newsroom from one dashboard.
