A year ago The Defiant, a media company focused on decentralized finance (DeFi), partnered with DeepNewz to integrate AI-generated news into its editorial workflow. The collaboration has reshaped its content strategy, showing how AI can augment journalism rather than replace it, according to a recent post from The Defiant.
With a small team of around seven journalists, The Defiant faced a common challenge: whether to chase general cryptocurrency news, which drives higher traffic, or focus exclusively on DeFi and web3 stories for its core audience. Working with DeepNewz allowed the newsroom to offload general crypto coverage to AI, freeing human reporters to focus on more specialist, higher-value journalism.
DeepNewz is an AI platform that generates original content in real time. Rather than aggregating existing articles, it analyses tweets from over 20,000 journalists, writers and bloggers to identify emerging stories. Its system produces factual summaries across the crypto sector, covering everything from regulation updates and token prices to NFT sales and industry gossip. The Defiant then curates this material for its readers.
Initially, DeepNewz fed stories via API into The Defiant’s content management system, with editors manually selecting and approving each piece. A disclaimer identifies the AI authorship. While the company trialled automated publishing, it opted to retain human curation to safeguard editorial standards.
The Defiant reports stronger web traffic from the AI-powered updates, with more stories going viral thanks to faster, broader coverage. Meanwhile, its journalists have been able to focus on long-form features and analysis, strengthening the brand’s authority in its niche.
While many newsrooms view AI as a threat, The Defiant’s experience suggests it can be a useful tool. AI has reduced the workload on routine updates, cut content production costs and allowed reporters to concentrate on more complex stories. Errors in AI-generated pieces have been rare and quickly corrected.
Unlike systems that summarise existing news, DeepNewz uses real-time social media monitoring to generate original reports. Its searchable archive, organised by topic and priority, provides efficient access to both current and past stories.

- https://thedefiant.io/news/research-and-opinion/the-defiant-deepnewz-collaboration-how-ai-can-help-journalism – The Defiant, a media company focused on decentralized finance, began collaborating with DeepNewz a year ago to publish AI-generated stories. This partnership allowed The Defiant’s small editorial team to concentrate on DeFi and web3 topics, while DeepNewz covered general crypto breaking news. The collaboration led to increased traffic and more in-depth reporting, as DeepNewz efficiently identified and summarized relevant breaking news in the crypto space. The integration involved a manual approach, with DeepNewz’s AI model scanning information from X to provide concise views on major and niche stories. The partnership has been instrumental in optimizing content strategy, enabling rapid content publication and maintaining a high volume of relevant content. The Defiant’s experience demonstrates that AI can complement newsrooms by enhancing efficiency and allowing reporters to focus on in-depth, long-form feature articles.
