True StoryHow a session goes
  • Listener

    “Someone who hit a hard stretch and turned it around. Good news. I have fifteen minutes.”

  • True Story

    Searching the web · reading the reporting · checking it lines up

  • Narrator

    Tells it from the first moment to where things stand today, paced to fifteen minutes.

  • Listener, tapping in

    “Wait, where did he go to college?”

  • Narrator

    Looks it up, answers in a sentence, and picks the story back up. If it isn't published, it says so.

An outline of a session, not a recording.

How it works

1

Say it

What you want to hear, and how long you have. Leave out the time and it asks.

2

It finds one

It searches the web for a real story that fits, reads the reporting, and gathers the sources.

3

It tells it

Start to finish, in a voice, paced to the time. Tap to ask a question. If a story runs short, another fills the time.

Told like a story. Held to the facts.

Nothing invented
The narrator is handed the research notes and nothing else. No made-up quotes, scenes or feelings.
Sources named
Every story says aloud where it comes from, and links the reporting on screen.
No guessing
Ask something the reporting doesn't cover and it says it couldn't find that.
No padding
If the record supports six minutes, the story runs six, and another one fills the rest of the time.

It can still get things wrong. That's why the sources are always there to check.

Try asking for

Fifteen minutes? There's a story for that.
