Open tool →Why we built these
Manifest is the on-site AI assistant for local sites and newsrooms. We spend our days inside publisher archives. The pattern is the same every time: the structured signals AI engines need are missing, the on-site experience for the reader who does arrive doesn't capture them, and the editor doesn't have time to fix either. These tools fix the cheapest version of those problems for free. The paid product fixes the rest, on every visit, on autopilot.
