CadenceEvery source the desk watches. Scored, ranked, in one window.

Cadence is a live newsroom-intelligence desk. It pulls wires, rival publications, reporters’ WhatsApp, X, email and government releases into one window, scores every story on twelve editorial measures and ranks it on a shared priority board, so editors decide what to cover faster.

The problem

Why Cadence exists

On a typical desk, news arrives through a dozen channels at once: agency wires, rival sites, reporters’ voice notes, social posts, press releases. Editors spend the first hour of every shift just finding out what has happened, and the story that mattered is often spotted late.

Questions

Cadence, answered

Last updated

Does Cadence decide what we publish?

No. The score is context for an editor, not a verdict. Sensitive stories are held for a human, and editors can change the scoring weights at any time.

Which sources can Cadence read?

Agency wires you subscribe to, rival publications, reporters’ WhatsApp messages, X, public Instagram accounts, email and government releases. Agency access depends on your own subscriptions.

Does it work in Hindi and other Indian languages?

Yes. Reading, scoring and routing are language-agnostic, so Cadence works in every language from day one.

How long does it take to deploy?

Cadence runs beside your current desk and can be live within weeks. We start with a demonstration on your own feeds.
