How Local Buzz ATX works

Local Buzz ATX collects headlines from Austin-area news organizations in one place, adds context with a short "Why should I care?" line, and links you straight to the original reporting.

Where the stories come from

Each outlet publishes a public feed of its headlines. We show the headline, a short blurb and the outlet's own photo, and every click goes to the outlet's site. We do not copy full articles.

What the AI does

Some short lines, such as "Why should I care?" and the "What matters today" headlines, are written with the help of an AI tool. It only uses the headline and blurb the outlet published, and it is told not to add facts. If there is no clear Austin angle, it says so. Always check the original story for the full picture.

OMG!

OMG! is our humor column. The jokes are written by people, aimed at the situation, not at anyone in particular. They are opinion, not news.
