01
Claim-level analysis
Every assertion in every article. Automated, at scale. Not story-level. Not manual.
The context layer for the news business.
Discourse turns your articles into a deeper reading experience — without sending readers away. Built with The Washington Post and Arc XP.
BUILDING WITH
The Washington PostArc XP
An evidence layer the news business helped design.
When a reader hits a claim about Federal Reserve policy on your site, Discourse can surface a 45-second Post Reports excerpt, a relevant archive investigation, and a credibility-ranked chain of supporting evidence — all without leaving your page.
WHAT YOU GET
Readers go deeper. They stay on your page.
Discourse turns every story into a deeper reading experience — without redirecting attention off your domain.
02
Credibility-weighted evidence
Institutional records, premium journalism, expert analysis — tiered and transparent. Readers see the work.
03
Audience signal that compounds
Every reader who engages tells you which claims pulled attention, claim by claim.
INTEGRATIONS
One integration. Three places it shows up.
Discourse is an agent layer, not a destination. It lives where your readers already are.
01
In-article widgets
Embed Discourse cards inline. Readers tap, expand, follow — and stay on your domain.
02
Companion feed
Subscribers get a personalized feed of follow-ups on the stories they've already read on your site.
03
Editorial dashboard
Your newsroom sees which claims pull reader attention — and where the supporting evidence lives.
USE CASES
Built for the businesses that publish.
Discourse is purpose-built for the news business first — with adjacent industries on the roadmap.
01
News publishers
Add context to every story. Compound the value of your archive over time.
02

Claim-level evidence for earnings calls, filings, and policy news. Coming next.

04
Universities & libraries
A media-literacy layer for the way students actually read.
ARCHITECTURE
Not “Ask the Post.” An evidence system.
General-purpose AI tools retrieve answers. Discourse retrieves evidence, scores its credibility, and shows the reader exactly how it got there. Your reporting sits at the top of that hierarchy — and every reader’s investigation trail makes that visible.
Institutional
Government data, court filings, official records.
Premium journalism
The Washington Post, Reuters, BBC, AP.
Expert analysis
Peer-reviewed research, named domain experts.
General reporting
Regional outlets, beat blogs, working papers.
Unverified
Anonymous claims, unsourced social posts.
ADDITIVE, NOT SUBSTITUTIVE
Every Discourse card sends readers back to your story.
Readers consume more of your content with Discourse, not less. Excerpts, clips, and citations all route to the original — by design.
EXCERPTS
Link to the original article. Always.
AUDIO CLIPS
Link to the full episode, with timestamp.
SOURCE CITATIONS
Link to the byline. Credit goes to the reporter.
LET’S RUN A PILOT
Real claims on real articles.
Two to three sprints. We integrate the agent layer into a slice of your archive, measure reader depth, and you decide what ships wider.
