Description
De Vector is a Dutch news site where AI picks, writes and fact-checks every article. Headlines from established media only signal what's happening; section agents then research free public sources (government documents, press releases, court rulings, research) and write original articles with citations. On contested topics each article separates facts from interpretation and shows how left, centre and right see the issue. A second AI fact-checks every piece; rejected articles never go live.

Could you build this?
Partial The front-end news presentation is straightforward, but orchestrating multi-agent research pipelines that reliably ingest, verify, and cross-reference government documents and court records without hallucination is notoriously difficult.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires an automated pipeline of web scrapers, OCR/PDF document ingestion, and autonomous LLM agents (e.g., using LangGraph or CrewAI) performing source grounding and fact-checking. The hardest part is building resilient scraper harnesses across fragmented Dutch public portals and preventing hallucinations or misinterpretations of complex legal/governmental texts.
