AI Trace uses AI to scan news sources daily across 10 industries, reading articles to identify which company is mentioned and what AI practice is described, then flagging findings for a human moderator to review.

Details

The system fetches articles via RSS feeds from industry-specific publications. Each article is processed by Anthropic's Claude Haiku model using industry-aware prompts that recognize domain-specific AI terminology. Extracted information is surfaced to human moderators as candidate entries rather than being published automatically.
