Transparency // The Wire

How the Wire works

Every couple of hours we check 40 news sites, official blogs and YouTube channels. When several of them report the same news, we group it into one story with a short summary and links to every original report.

What AI does

  • Groups headlines about the same news
  • Drafts a short summary from the sources' own headlines and excerpts
  • Marks who reported what

What AI never does

  • Images or art of any kind
  • Reviews, scores or opinions
  • Copy articles or invent writers

Pictures are official: a publisher's video, game art from IGDB, or GameManx's own images.

GameManx editors review the stories, add their own takes, and fix anything you report. Prefer just the headlines? Switch on Headlines only and the summaries disappear.

Spot a mistake? Every story has a Report a mistake link, and corrections are shown in the story's timeline.
