Zamaneh Media, a small Dutch-based newsroom focusing on Persian-language content, embraced AI to overcome challenges in news production and translation. The newsroom developed two AI-driven tools—Newsletter Hero and Samurai—that significantly streamlined their workflows. Despite a small team of just two people with limited technical backgrounds, they improved the newsroom’s efficiency by reducing the time spent on routine tasks like newsletter creation and translating long Persian articles into English. Join us for a live session to learn how they built these tools, what they’ve learned and what comes next, and to ask your questions.
Registration
Anyone is welcome to attend. Tickets are free.
Where will the meetup take place?
This event will be hosted on Zoom. For this particular event, you’ll have the best experience if you join via the Zoom app on a desktop or laptop computer so that you can see the presentation on a larger screen. You can also join using the mobile app, although the presentation may be harder to view.
Can I dial in by phone?
We recommend joining from your computer, tablet or phone using the Zoom app. You won’t be able to access the presentation slides, chat and exercises if you’re dialed in via phone only. If you’re unfamiliar with Zoom, we’ll have staff on hand to troubleshoot, and we also suggest checking out the Zoom support site for more help.
Will this event be recorded?
The event will be recorded and made available to registrants at the end of the session.
Will closed captioning be available?
Yes, we will enable Zoom’s closed captioning tool, which now supports closed captioning in both the main room and breakout rooms.
