What Sage does

  • Auto-tags articles based on content (topics, people, places, organisations)
  • Suggests up to three headline alternatives optimised for clarity and engagement
  • Generates summaries (50, 150, or 280 chars — perfect for social posts)
  • Translates between 10 supported languages including native Arabic ↔ English, with optional "Polish with Sage" to refine the result to native quality
  • Captions images and identifies subjects (with human review)
  • Surfaces internal "related articles" for sidebar placement

Where Sage shows up

Sage suggestions appear in the right sidebar of every article editor. Each suggestion has Accept, Edit, or Ignore — nothing is auto-applied without explicit approval. The AI never edits the article body itself.

Translation workflow

  1. Finish writing the original article.
  2. Click "Translate" in the sidebar and pick target language(s).
  3. Sage produces a draft translation in seconds.
  4. A native speaker (assigned automatically or manually) reviews and corrects.
  5. Approved translation publishes as a linked article in the target language.

Customising Sage

Sage learns your newsroom's voice over time. On Professional and Enterprise plans, fine-tune by providing 5–10 sample articles representing your editorial style — Sage adapts headline and summary suggestions to match your tone.

Privacy and data handling

Your content is never used to train external AI models. Sage uses Azure OpenAI with private endpoints; your articles are processed in your tenant region and not retained by the AI provider.
