Automated Insights raised $5.5 million in Series B funding last summer from investors like Samsung, AP, and former AOL CEO Steve Case.
In 2014, Automated Insights began producing 3,000 stories per quarter for the Associated Press – a tenfold increase over what AP reporters and editors created previously. In addition, the stories contained far fewer errors than their manual counterparts.
Since automaton began in July, Automated Insights has worked with AP to add a number of enhancements to the stories. Descriptions of businesses have been included, and the stories now contain forward-looking guidance provided by the companies.
Here’s CEO Robbie Allen’s blog post announcing the deal. Here is the official press release.
