Official-source intelligence
When official sources change, ring the bell.
Be first — and right — on the official record. TocsinWire watches government, emergency and public-service sources, flags what's genuinely newsworthy the moment it changes, and hands your desk an evidence-backed draft, ready to edit.
Source evidence first, AI draft second, a human editor always in control. Never auto-published.
Built for national & regional news agencies · invite-only, in early access.

How it works
From an official page changing to a desk-ready alert, in one pipeline.
-
01 · Monitor
Watch official sites, feeds, APIs and PDFs around the clock, checking as often as every minute.
-
02 · Detect
Spot the changes that matter: a new incident, an escalation, a fresh document.
-
03 · Score
Rank urgency from 0 to 100 with the explainable Tocsin Score, so the desk sees what matters first.
-
04 · Draft
Generate a ready-to-edit draft, from a flash to a wire article or desk note, built from the evidence and never inventing facts.
-
05 · Route
Send the right alerts to the right desk and channel: Slack, Discord, a webhook, or straight into your CMS.
-
06 · Bellboard
Triage everything on a live newsroom board: acknowledge, assign, edit the draft, mark useful or noise.
Why TocsinWire
Not a website-change checker. Editorial intelligence on official sources.
Works out of the box
Curated source packs for your market are ready to monitor on day one. Add your own sources, or request one and we'll add it to your pack.
Evidence first
Every signal links to the official source and shows exactly what changed, with a timestamp. Stand behind every line you file.
Explainable urgency
The Tocsin Score shows why something rated high: source priority, keywords, location and more. The desk triages by what matters.
Drafting that never invents
Drafts are built only from the source and always attributed, in English or Portuguese. Quality is checked against a fixed bar before every release.
Low noise by design
A built-in noise filter drops timestamp-only edits, boilerplate and minor changes, so the desk gets fewer, better alerts.
Newsroom workflow
Desk routing and triage, plus one-click export to NINJS or NewsML-G2 for your CMS.
The Tocsin Score
Urgency you can explain, line by line.
Every change is scored from 0 to 100 in code, never by the model, so the score is deterministic and auditable. The desk sees why something rated high, triages the most urgent first, and can stand behind the call.
