The short answer
A newsletter lives in the inbox, and yesterday's issue is hard to find. A website is where local readers and local businesses look things up. larkfeed is a platform for local media that runs that website.
larkfeed is one of three tools owned by 8th Replay, the company behind this site. This site runs on larkfeed.
What is on the site
larkfeed hosts a business directory, an events calendar, a job board and a news section on one site. WilCo Guide and Vegas HQ run on it.
It can also import a beehiiv archive, so past issues have a home on the web.
Where AI does the work
AI researches and drafts articles, and a second AI edits and scores them. It can draft stories from meetings and permit filings you choose.
A person reviews and approves every article before it goes live.
How it earns
A local publisher earns from it in four ways: upgraded business pages, featured events, premium job posts and sponsors.
What it costs
larkfeed has no public price. Pricing depends on your market and needs, and you book a call for a plan.
Who it fits
It fits a local newsletter that has readers and local advertisers and wants more to sell than a slot in an email.
If you are new, the newsletter comes first. A website earns its place once local businesses start asking where they can be listed.
Does AI publish articles on its own?
No. A person reviews and approves every article.
Is it only for Texas?
No. It works in any market. WilCo Guide in Texas and Vegas HQ in Nevada run on it.
Can I keep my newsletter?
Yes. It works with an existing newsletter through the beehiiv archive import and lightbreak.
