At Ada Beat, we love building tools that save people time and unlock creativity. Our latest application, News 2 Post, is designed for companies that need fresh, unique news content for their websites, newsletters, and news feeds — without the endless hours of manual writing and editing.
With News 2 Post, users can:
- Log in and instantly get a curated list of the latest news crawled from across the web
- Select any news item and use AI to re-write it into a unique Post
- Fine-tune the text themselves, adding personal touches before publishing
- Generate multiple versions of the same news story in minutes
- Use licensed images (when available) directly in their posts
- Publish to popular CMS platforms like WordPress, Webflow, Optimizely, and more via APIs
In short, it’s a news-to-publishing pipeline that takes minutes instead of hours.
Why we chose Elixir and Phoenix
Building an application that constantly crawls news sources, handles multiple concurrent users, and integrates with several APIs requires a reliable, scalable, and fast technology stack. That’s why we chose Elixir and Phoenix.
- Elixir gives us the concurrency and fault-tolerance needed to handle real-time crawling and content generation without slowing down. It’s built on the Erlang VM, which means we can manage thousands of simultaneous tasks effortlessly.
- Phoenix lets us deliver a responsive, modern web interface for our users. With Phoenix Channels and LiveView, we can update news lists and rewritten content instantly, without forcing the user to refresh.
These technologies ensure News 2 Post remains fast, stable, and ready to scale — even as we handle growing volumes of news data and users.
The power of OpenAI for content rewriting
Of course, the heart of News 2 Post is its AI-powered rewriting engine. Using the OpenAI API (Chat GPT), we can transform a news article into a completely fresh piece of content in seconds.
Here’s how it works:
- The user selects a news item.
- We send the article’s text to OpenAI via REST APIs.
- OpenAI re-writes the piece into a unique Post.
- The user can edit, tweak, or regenerate different versions until it’s perfect.
- With one click, they can publish directly to their CMS.
This blend of automation and human creativity means companies can maintain a consistent, high-quality publishing schedule without burning out their content teams.
The result
With Elixir, Phoenix, and OpenAI, we’ve built a tool that:
- Handles large-scale data processing in real time
- Delivers a smooth and intuitive UI for fast editing
- Generates high-quality, unique content at speed
- Integrates seamlessly into existing publishing workflows
News 2 Post turns the process of sourcing, rewriting, and publishing news from a multi-hour task into something you can do over a coffee break.
If you’re a business that needs a steady stream of unique, relevant content for your digital channels, News 2 Post is ready to transform the way you work.
