AI-powered audience-data dashboard prototype (JournalismAI Skills Lab 2025)

Lets CORRECTIV's 16 community-journalism partner newsrooms 'chat with their audience data' chatbot-style to centralise data fragmented across Mailchimp (newsletters), ticket managers (events) and the shared CRM; built by head of digital product Sara Cooper; architecture sends the user's natural-language prompt to Gemini, which returns SQL that is run over the database and returns the answer (rather than running an LLM directly over the live database); to be implemented first with a local test newsroom to help define community-journalism engagement metrics, then rolled out to more partners; distinct from CORRECTIV.Checkbot and the noFake/Faktenforum platform
