The autopilot you can put your name on.
Journalist AI (now rebranded Arvow) is the tool most often mistaken for Mastheads: brief it once, and it writes and auto-publishes to WordPress or Ghost on a schedule. The resemblance ends at the word "publish." It optimizes for uniqueness and search volume, not for whether a claim is true, no fact-check against sources, no review hold, no editor of record. Mastheads runs the same autopilot with the editorial standard Journalist AI leaves out.
Journalist AI / Arvow publishes on autopilot, and that is the whole of it. Its pitch is content that "sounds like you" rather than AI, which is detection-avoidance, not source-checking, and there's no gate that can hold a weak article back and no named editor behind it. Broad and hands-off, with the trust layer missing entirely.
The tape.
- The same hands-off scheduled publishing, but every article is fact-checked against its sources and can be held for review.
- A real named byline and editor of record on every piece, instead of anonymous autoblog output.
- Source discipline over detection-avoidance: the goal is being trustworthy, not being undetectable.
- EU AI Act, GDPR, and DMCA handling and a clean export are built in.
What you get that Journalist AI doesn't.
Sourced, or it doesn't ship
Every article is written from cited sources and cross-checked against them before delivery. A judge vets each source for the specific story - right event, right dates, real substance - and a topic that can't be properly sourced is dropped, not padded. No source, no article.
A real editor of record
Nothing publishes anonymously. Each article carries a real named byline and a human editor of record, accountable for editorial standards, source policy, and disputes - the person whose name is on the door.
Review by default; auto-publish you can defend
Independent quality gates can hold any article for one-click human review, and nothing ships silently. Auto-publish is opt-in and runs the very same gates - trustworthy when it's unattended, not merely unchecked.
Compliance built in, not bolted on
EU AI Act Article 50 disclosure, GDPR export and erasure, a registered DMCA agent, and a pre-publish copyright gate that stops a rights-risky image before it goes live - standard on every plan.
A newsroom in five languages
English, German, Norwegian, Swedish, and Dutch - each written in its own grammar and idiom rather than translated, held to the same quality bar, all under one subscription.
Your content, never locked in
Physical per-publication data isolation, a read-only pull API, and one-click export to WordPress WXR, Ghost, and Markdown with every image. You own the articles outright - no royalty, no attribution back to us.
Both tools publish to your CMS on a schedule without you touching it. Only one checks each article against its sources, can hold a weak piece back for a human, and ships it under a real byline. Journalist AI automates publishing; Mastheads automates a newsroom, and in 2026 the editorial standard is the whole difference between ranking and getting demoted.
Under the hood: it discovers stories in your niche, writes them in your voice, fact-checks against sources, illustrates, and publishes to your CMS, on your schedule.
