How a morning is built

Overnight, TickThru reads what was published on your names since the last brief: SEC filings, Federal Reserve statements, government data and company releases. Thursday’s sample drew on 29 passages from four publishers.

The white marble front of the Eccles Building in Washington under a blue sky, flags above its entrance
The curved glass entrance of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission headquarters, three flags in front
The Federal Reserve Board and the SEC in Washington. Their statement and filings carry three of Thursday’s six stops.

Then the writer drafts each story only from those passages, for the ear: the news first, the source named once, figures rounded the way a newsreader would say them.

Voting against the monetary policy action were Lisa D. Cook and Beth M. Hammack, who preferred to raise the target range for the federal funds rate by 1/4 percentage point at this meeting.

The FOMC statement, read aloud at 0:27

Lisa Cook and Beth Hammack dissented, and both preferred to raise the range by a quarter of a percentage point.

Before a word is voiced, every figure is checked against the passage it came from. A sentence that fails is cut, not reworded. On Thursday 37 of 39 figures matched, and the sentences holding the other two never aired.

  • 91facts taken from the passages
  • 37/39figures matched to their source line
  • 2sentences cut before voicing
  • 28sentences checked again by a second model for support

By 06:00 ET it’s in your podcast app as a private feed, one chapter per story, so the skip button on the steering wheel or the lock screen moves you to the next stop.

It won’t tell you to buy, sell or hold, and it doesn’t quote prices. Paywalled stories appear as an attributed headline and a link, never as text it hasn’t read. And every episode says it’s AI before the first story.

It’s Thursday, October 29, and this is TickThru, your AI-read brief.

The first line of Thursday’s brief, as aired.

Tickers or plain words, separated by commas. Thursday’s run is the sample, so names outside it show as not covered here.

Corrections are public

Pilot listeners can flag any sentence. Every confirmed error goes into a public log with the date, the sentence as it aired, the fix and its source. The pilot’s target is no more than 1 material error per 100 audited facts, and the measured rate is published beside the log, whatever it turns out to be.
