The newsrooms that never stop run on AP.

Welcome to AP Workflow Solutions

We’re a product and technology team within the Associated Press that builds for all kinds of newsrooms – with very different workflows. 


To get started, see which pathway feels the most familiar to you and your team.

1. Our rundown is our lifeline
In many broadcast newsrooms the rundown still sits at the centre of everything.  That workflow works for your team. It is how you get the show on air.  

You may be exploring new systems, but you are looking for the one that understands and supports the rundown model properly. 
2. We’re modernizing, but carefully

You have an existing system or workflow –  and you’re outgrowing it. Whether you work across broadcast, digital publishing or social media – the teams are working in different tools, stories are planned more than once and coordination is getting harder. 


You want to bring those workflows closer together without disrupting systems your teams already rely on.

 

3. We’re building what comes next

Your newsroom is story-centric and digitally mature. You are looking beyond individual systems towards a platform that can coordinate every output, support intelligent workflows and adapts as your organisation evolves. 

 

Helping each other solve familiar challenges

Whether you’re a newsroom as large as ours, or a group of content creators starting out on Substack – the challenges are familiar.

Coordination

Stories move across many teams and tools. Planning in one place. Notes in another. Production somewhere else. Keeping everyone aligned around the same story is becoming harder.

Platform growth

Every story needs to reach more places. Web, video, social, newsletters, live coverage and alerts - often produced by the same editorial team. The challenge is scaling that output without duplicating work.

Responsible use of AI

AI tools are inside the newsroom, that's a fact. Journalists experimenting whilst staying conscious of provenance, control and what gets published. The challenge isn't whether these tools will be used, it's how to integrate them while preserving editorial judgement.

Evolving systems

Most organizations are not replacing everything overnight. Existing systems still run in the newsroom. New capabilities need to connect to them without interrupting daily production. The newsroom keeps running while it evolves.

This is what solving it looks like

Intelligent workflows are starting to reshape how newsrooms operate. 


Monitoring agents flag breaking updates before they become a problem. Assistant agents draft platform-specific versions from your source story. 


Notes and research centralised in one place — not scattered across inboxes and Slack channels.


Assistance, not autonomy. Every action is logged. Editorial control stays with your team at every step.

Without compromising on editorial standards

"The future of newsroom tech is not layering AI into existing workflows."

It is about rethinking the underlying architecture so that the story, not the output is the organizing structure – and intelligent agents operate within governed, auditable systems. 

Newsrooms need scale, resilience, and flexibility as much as they need automation. Our approach brings those elements together in a way that is practical for enterprise adoption.
