Automated Insights, the company behind the robot-like Wordsmith software, rolled out a beta version that they are offering to the public for use sometime in January. Everyone is encouraged to sign up for beta access, which will be reportedly rolled out next year.
The Verge said the Wordsmith platform has been designed to help media sites, and as announced, anyone who uses it, to generate natural language reports. The reports will be based on large data sets uploaded as a .csv file, creating multiple narratives. Human input is still required as writers would need to put in the basic structure of the news report to make it more logical to read, swapping keywords for the variables.
"The writing process has largely been untouched. The way that you write now is not much different than how you did it 30 years ago," Automated Insights' CEO Robbie Allen said.
Wired said Wordsmith is already being used by the Associated Press to do its news stories on corporate earnings reports. Other websites like Yahoo and Fox also utilizes similar software to generate its news stories without employing human writers.
