The AI Co-Pilot Journalists Actually Need (Not the One You’re Being Sold)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this full episode, we sit down with Peter Stuart, former editor of Cyclingnews (the world’s largest cycling website) and co-founder of Velora — an AI operating system built specifically for specialist and niche publishers. Peter shares the real story of quitting a senior editorial role, launching an AI-native cycling publication (Velora Cycling), and then turning the underlying tools into a platform now used by multiple publishers.
We dig into practical workflows, multi-layer verification, the exact role of the human editor, measurable productivity gains, and the biggest mistakes publishers are still making with AI content. Whether you’re a journalist, newsroom leader, specialist publisher, or just curious about AI that actually works in editorial environments, this conversation is packed with actionable insights.
