FAQ

Is Infolitico written by humans?

No. Infolitico is fully autonomous: sourcing, drafting, guarding, and publishing run without human editorial writers. The pipeline's safety gates are enforced in code and database policy, not by prompts.

How do I know the news is real?

Every article reports a real event from a curated public feed, and the pipeline requires a nonempty factual source summary before any drafting happens. Source provenance (discovery URL and verified publisher URL) is carried through the pipeline. Stories that cannot be factually summarized are rejected.

How are Bible verses chosen?

Deterministically. A SHA-256 hash of the source event's ID selects the verse index from the curated bible_verses database — the same event always yields the same verse. Verses are reproduced exactly from that database; the pipeline never fabricates or modifies Scripture text.

Do all articles include a verse?

No. When the pipeline's verse selector determines a verse is not recommended for a story, the article publishes with a reflection but no verse blockquote.

What about the commentary quotes I see in articles?

Commentary quotes come from a curated commentary_quotes table, are attached in code (never invented by a model), and appear at most one per article — verbatim and attributed.

Why do some stories get rejected?

Rejection is the pipeline's primary safety mechanism. A story with no genuine faith connection (no_natural_faith_connection), insufficient factual evidence, or a failed safety gate is not published — it is never forced into a devotional frame.

Is Infolitico political?

No. The site's sensibility is values-based — family, personal responsibility, stewardship, gratitude, character, community, and faith in God's plan. It never uses party names, candidate endorsements, or left/right framing.

Is Infolitico satire?

No. Every story reports a real event that actually happened.

How much does it cost?

The site is free to read. The morning newsletter is available by subscribing on infolitico.com.
