A Genesis team that explains a company's or a person's own website and records with dated sources, mentors the reader, and runs an AI newsroom: editor agents read live feeds every morning, write the news and keep comparison pages current, and nothing goes public without the owner's yes.
Prismatic Agents makes Prismatic. Its row is first, highlighted and labelled, so you can compare every solution against it; the others follow alphabetically and are ranked by nobody. Every value carries an evidence label; "Where Prismatic leads" is our view as its maker.
Companies already buy AI that answers from their own documents: enterprise search and assistants (Glean), workspace AI (Notion), and AI agents that answer customers from help content (Intercom Fin). These run in the vendor's cloud and answer questions; keeping a public website's news and comparison pages current from live sources, with evidence on every line and the owner's approval before anything goes out, is still done by people.
Machines and chips in use: No robot. Office computers and a company website; the studio runs on one Mac mini on the site network.

What this sector pays today: Workspace seats US$20 per member a month (Notion Business plan), or an AI support agent from US$0.99 per resolved conversation (Intercom Fin) (Published, source). That is often a whole product; Prismatic adds the lasting local memory beside it. Hardware is bought by you from Apple or NVIDIA. Electricity at 14.2¢/kWh around the clock. Prices are proposals until the first customer agrees them. How Prismatic is licensed
Hours of reading sources, drafting and checking each week.
How it works: by hand = sources × minutes × 7 + articles × drafting hours; with the desk = articles × review minutes. Estimates; your numbers.
One card per solution. Strengths first; gaps are about this job, not about the product being bad.
Our review. Broad enterprise search and assistant across company apps, with agent builder and governance.
Gaps for this job. Answers inside the company; does not run the owner's public newsroom or comparison pages.

Status: Runs today in Prismatic's own studio: the knowledge guide (Showcase → Website mentor) and the Newsroom. Orion writes the daily news from live feeds, and Lyra keeps the comparison pages current from primary sources (follow-up enquiries, confirmed quotes, her updates). Code checks every line; approvals happen by hand or by auto-approve; an approvals email goes out after each curation; publishing is byte-verified. Features used: Sources per reply, Knowledgebase search, Rich Souls, Genesis, Shadow accuracy checks, Confirm-before-write, Receipt ledger / audit, Local-only.
A day with it: At 8:00 the newsroom editor has read the overnight feeds and written three short stories; the approvals email lands at 8:04. The owner reads them over coffee, rejects one as too cautious and approves the rest. By 8:10 the news page is live, and the comparison page the story affects shows the note.
Genesis Blueprint · Project blueprint (PRD)
A Genesis team that explains your website and approved records, mentors visitors or staff, refers questions to the right expert, and runs an AI newsroom that keeps your news and comparison pages current with your approval. A bounded knowledge, mentoring and newsroom pilot with source coverage, answer quality and approval acceptance checks.
In a Prismatic studio this blueprint waits in the Marketplace, ready to be born: Genesis gives each role an original name, look, voice and character, and nothing starts until the founder presses Generate. Founders can also write their own blueprint step by step in the Blueprint Builder.
Scores are first-pass hypotheses from general industry knowledge (UseCase file 05), not researched market sizes.
For patient investors
Retrofit sites pay first on a 64 GB Mac mini (M5 Pro) beside machines that already work. Greenfield machines carry the same mind inside, on the Jetson AGX Orin 64 GB, licensed per machine. The horizon (blackouts, wilderness, space) is where a mind that needs no cloud is not a feature but the point.
