AI article writer
What if writing a great story was easy?
Most local stories never get written because they take too long. With larkfeed you just tell it what happened. It does the research, the structure and the first draft. You do the part only you can do.

What if covering every council meeting was easy?
Nobody has time to read a 300-page agenda. larkfeed does. It watches the meetings and filings you pick, writes the draft, and waits in your inbox until you say yes.

Why we built this
We built it for our own sites first.
We run 20+ local publications. We needed one place for the site, the directory, the calendar and the job board, and a way to cover far more than our team had time to write.
So we built larkfeed and put our own sites on it. Now we're opening it to other local media operators.
Questions people ask first
What is larkfeed?
An AI-native platform for local media. Your news, a business directory, an events calendar and a job board on one site, with AI that handles the research and first drafts. You approve everything that goes live.
Does it only work in Texas?
No. larkfeed works in any market. WilCo Guide in Texas and Vegas HQ in Nevada are two of the sites running on it today, and more are on the way.
Does AI publish things on its own?
Never. AI writes drafts, finds stories and does the digging. A person reads and approves every article before it goes live.
Do I need to be technical?
No. If you can write an email, you can run larkfeed. We set up your site, your markets and your look with you.
What does it cost?
It depends on your market and what you need. Book a call and we'll put a plan together for you.
I already have a website and a newsletter. Does it work with them?
Yes. We can bring over your Beehiiv archive and keep your old links working. larkfeed also feeds lightbreak, so your newsletter can be built from your own site's content.
Can my AI use it?
Yes. larkfeed has an MCP connection and an API. Your AI can read your articles, events, jobs and businesses and file drafts for you to review. AI agents can read our page for AI agents.
larkfeed is a product of 8th replay.
We build software for local media, and we run 20+ local publications on it ourselves. If larkfeed fits, its siblings might too.
