Owlens is an AI-powered news intelligence platform that pulls stories from dozens of global sources and synthesises them into a single, multi-perspective briefing.
How it works
Gather
Owlens monitors curated RSS feeds across 20+ countries alongside GDELT, a real-time global news database. New stories are pulled every 30 minutes from wire services, broadcasters, regional press, and specialist outlets.
Analyse
Claude AI reads each story and generates four perspective lenses, a neutral synthesis, a significance score, and identifies what angle is missing from the coverage.
Evolve
As more sources cover the same story, the card is automatically updated and merged. High-significance stories trigger a Deep Dive — a full research pass that reads every source in full.
The four lenses
A left-leaning perspective focused on social equity, systemic critique, and progressive policy solutions.
A right-leaning perspective emphasising tradition, fiscal restraint, national interest, and personal responsibility.
A non-Western global perspective, drawing on how the story is perceived outside the Anglosphere.
Pure data and verified facts only. No framing, no opinion — just numbers, primary sources, and evidence.
Significance scoring
Every story is scored on 8 dimensions.
Stories that cross our significance threshold trigger a Deep Dive research run.
When a story crosses our significance threshold, Owlens triggers a Deep Dive. Claude opens and reads every source URL in full, then writes a comprehensive multi-paragraph analysis with inline citations linking directly to the original articles.
