FinTech Studios launches Apollo PRO®, a free Generative AI tool for journalists through a new partnership program. The app offers real-time, attributable market intelligence with advanced search capabilities, enhancing research and reporting. The initiative aims to boost productivity, accuracy, and source attribution for journalists and will be complemented by a new consumer app, PowerIntell.AI, later this month.

FinTech Studios, a global leader in Generative AI for enterprise search, market intelligence, and regulatory intelligence, has announced a ground-breaking initiative. Through a special invitation-only partnership program, journalists and reporters will now have free access to the Apollo PRO® Generative AI app. The app offers a range of collaboration efforts meant to assist media outlets and journalists around the globe. 

In 2024, we’ve seen numerous GenAI tools introduced that can both potentially revolutionise journalism and also potentially risk the integrity of journalism. At FinTech Studios, we are committed to ensuring we use AI for good, including helping publishers and journalists increase their productivity, grow their brand awareness, increase their site traffic, increase customer engagement, generate new revenue streams, and get proper source attribution for their creative work, with hyperlinks to source articles cited. Being a great journalist and reporter requires access to timely, relevant, trusted information to perform diverse tasks daily and ensure accurate, timely, and compelling reporting with proper source attribution”, said Jim Tousignant, CEO and Founder of FinTech Studios.

Apollo PRO®: A game-changer for journalists

Apollo PRO uses modern hybrid search technology, combining structured metadata filtering with sophisticated semantic text search and integrating with industry-leading language models like OpenAI GPT-4o. This effective technology improves the way journalists conduct research and write news by providing real-time, attributed, fact-based ideas and intelligence.

Key features of Apollo PRO include:

Real-Time Search: Access millions of global sources in 49 languages with advanced search filters and personalised channels.

Comprehensive Research: Quickly research companies, people, topics, regions, market events, and global trends.

Enhanced Productivity: Generate story ideas, outlines, summaries, and other content efficiently, while staying updated on fast-moving trends.

Accurate Attribution: Verify information and sources with hyperlinks to original articles, ensuring accuracy and credibility.

Intelligent Dashboards: Utilise AI-powered widgets such as News, Trending News, Media Coverage, Word Cloud, and Co-Mentions to track relevant content and emerging market trends.

Future plans and new app release

 “Journalists need better search and discovery tools to generate good story ideas, do research, check facts, and generate insights and actionable intelligence with trusted source attribution links”, says Jim Tousignant.

Later this month, FinTech Studios will also introduce PowerIntell.AI, a free consumer app, to its users and selected journalists. Additionally, FinTech Studios plans to offer publishers a 20% royalty of PowerIntell.AI ad revenues, based on the frequency of publisher content citations and user clicks on source article links.

The purpose of PowerIntell.AI is to provide users with a thorough understanding of market trends, business advancements, and current news. It combines advanced artificial intelligence to provide real-time updates and actionable insights, making it a useful tool for both industry specialists and casual users. With the same advanced search and data analytics capabilities as Apollo PRO, PowerIntell.AI aims to provide a user-friendly interface meant for a broad audience.
