About Alberta Daily

Alberta's news is spread across dozens of outlets, venue calendars, and government feeds. Alberta Daily pulls the province-wide picture into one place. We aggregate — we don't replace. Each news item on this site is a brief summary whose whole job is to tell you what happened and point you to the original reporting for the full story.

Alongside news, we publish a daily weather snapshot for major Alberta communities and a running calendar of concerts, festivals, sports, and community events across the province.

• We scan public feeds and APIs.Our pipeline reads RSS feeds from Alberta news outlets, public event and ticketing APIs, and Environment and Climate Change Canada's weather data, several times a day.
• AI writes a short summary.For news, an AI model writes an original 150–300 word summary in its own words — never a light rewording of the source article.
• Every story links to the original outlet. Source credits appear on every card and prominently on every story page. If a summary is useful, the full article is one click away.

Events and weather are presented as structured facts from their sources — venues, ticketing services, and Environment and Climate Change Canada — not AI-written prose. The full details are in our editorial policy, and every feed and API we draw on is listed on our sources page.

Anyone who wants a quick, honest read on what's happening in Alberta: locals who want the day's headlines over coffee without hopping between six sites, newcomers getting oriented in a new city, and visitors planning a weekend in Calgary, Edmonton, or the Rockies. If a story matters to you, we want you to click through and read the original — that's the whole design.

The byline "Alberta Daily Desk" is a disclosed AI persona, not a person. It exists so you always know exactly what you are reading: content selected and summarized by AI, operating under rules written and supervised by a human editor. We never invent human-sounding bylines, and every AI-written piece is labeled as such, both on the page and in the underlying data.

AI-curated, human-supervised: a person sets the editorial rules, reviews how the system behaves, and fixes it when it gets something wrong. AI can make mistakes, and details can change after we publish — always confirm anything important with the original outlet, which is linked on every story.

Alberta Daily is an independent project, built and operated by FNDRY39— a small, Alberta-based studio. It isn't owned by a news outlet or backed by any political organization. A human editor sets the rules the AI follows, reviews how the system behaves, and answers for anything it gets wrong.

That means there's a real person behind the automation. If a story needs a correction, or you just want to reach us, email hello@albertadaily.ca — it goes straight to the editor.
