AI for media: we build newsroom tools all the way to production

The Vibe Company builds generative AI tools for newsrooms and media organizations: monitoring, archives, production assist — under journalist control. Public proof: MediaGen, AFP's France 2030 generative AI project, where we are a technical consortium member.

The facts
  • MediaGen (AFP): 3 newsroom tools — augmented monitoring, multimodal search, production assist.
  • France 2030 project, €4M, supported by Bpifrance. Consortium Quivr/The Vibe Company, Kairntech, Dawex. 24-month horizon.
  • Some components planned as open source.
  • Paris AI agency, YC W24 (Quivr became The Vibe Company).

Who this page is for

For press groups, newsrooms, news agencies, broadcasters, pure players and content or documentation organizations that want AI tools in real conditions, not a ChatGPT demo.

Who
  • 01Press groups and newsrooms
  • 02News agencies
  • 03Broadcast media
  • 04Pure players and content / documentation orgs
The signals
  • A saturated monitoring feed
  • Text, photo or video archives that go underused
  • Multi-format versions that cost too much
  • Fear of hallucinations or bias in published news
  • The need to keep the journalist in the loop

What we deliver on a media AI project

Five building blocks, from monitoring to a framework that holds in production.

01

News monitoring

Gather and analyze media, social networks and press releases. The MediaGen angle: augmented monitoring.

02

Archives and multimodal search

Explore and make the most of a text, photo and video collection.

03

Production assist

Turn one story into several formats. Help spotting bias or quality risks. A human publishes.

04

Agents under editorial control

Drafts, suggestions and repetitive tasks. Nothing is sent or published without sign-off.

05

Production framework

Access rights, observability, logs and tests, then documentation and handoff. Or joint operation.

MediaGen: what it proves (and what it doesn't)

MediaGen is one of the few France 2030 projects dedicated to the media. Led by AFP, supported by Bpifrance.

01

The Vibe Company (via Quivr / The Vibe Company) is a member of the technical consortium. We build the tools. We are not AFP.

02

It proves we can ship generative AI under media constraints: reliability, editorial control, partial open source.

03

What it does not mean: we do not put together your France 2030 or Bpifrance application.

How we start a media AI project

  1. 01

    A 30-minute call

    Editorial workflows, sources, archives, editorial risk, who publishes.

  2. 02

    Scope a first tool

    One fixed-scope workflow, with success criteria: time, volume, human acceptance rate.

  3. 03

    Short cycles

    Often as drafts or suggestions first. Never auto-publishing without guardrails.

  4. 04

    Ship, measure, hand over

    Runbooks, training, or joint operation.

Frequently asked questions

Do you replace journalists?

No. We build tools under editorial control: drafts, monitoring, search, multi-format versions. The decision to publish stays human.

What is MediaGen?

AFP's France 2030 generative AI project. We are in the technical consortium with Kairntech and Dawex. Details: the AFP case.

Can you get our project funded through France 2030?

No. MediaGen proves we ship in that frame. It is not a Bpifrance application service. See our article on CIR, CII and France 2030 for an overview of funding schemes.

How long until production?

It depends on your stack (CMS, DAM, APIs, rights). MediaGen: built over 24 months on the France 2030 project side. That is a project timeline, not a generic delay for every client.

What about hallucinations and bias?

We design to limit the risk: guardrails, human validation, traceability. No “zero error” promise.

How is this different from your Paris agency and agents in production pages?

The AI agency in Paris page presents the general offer. AI agents in production covers deploying cross-functional business agents. This page covers the media and newsroom sector, with the AFP proof.

How much does a project cost?

We set the scope after the call and the framing, in a written proposal. There is no public rate card.
