# MONOLITH Press Kit **Media & Creator Resource Page** Contact: [press@monolith.news](mailto:press@monolith.news) Website: [monolith.news](https://monolith.news) --- ## What Is MONOLITH? MONOLITH is a real-time global news intelligence platform that fundamentally changes how people engage with world events. Unlike traditional news aggregators that merely collect headlines, MONOLITH layers advanced AI analysis directly onto live news — giving every reader the ability to interrogate breaking stories, understand geopolitical context, detect source bias, and synthesize information from dozens of outlets simultaneously. The result is a newsroom-grade research capability available to anyone, not just professional journalists or analysts. At its core, MONOLITH is built on the belief that the global news ecosystem is too complex, too fast, and too biased for any single reader to navigate alone. By combining real-time RSS aggregation from legitimate news organizations, frontier AI models, live global visualization tools, and international television streams, MONOLITH gives readers a 360-degree view of the world in one unified interface — in their own language, in real time. --- ## Key Facts | | | |---|---| | **Launched** | 2025 | | **Status** | Live product, open early access — every feature free, no credit card required.

No other consumer news product offers multi-model AI at this depth. **Trust and bias scoring for every source** Every news source displayed in MONOLITH is scored for factual reliability and political bias. Readers see a trust indicator alongside every story, enabling more informed media consumption without leaving the platform. **Live global news map** Breaking stories are pinned geographically on a live world map, giving readers an immediate spatial understanding of where events are unfolding — from conflict zones to financial markets. **9 live international TV channels** MONOLITH embeds official YouTube streams from verified broadcaster channels — Al Jazeera English, France 24 (English/French/Arabic/Spanish), TRT World, Sky News Arabia, NHK World Japan, and CGTN — giving users direct access to live news television without switching apps or platforms. **Real-time market data alongside news** Stock indices, individual equities, and cryptocurrency prices update in real time within the same interface, so readers can see the market impact of breaking news the moment it happens. **Multi-language support** MONOLITH supports AI-powered translation and multi-language content delivery, making global news accessible regardless of the reader's primary language. Pro subscribers get full multi-language access. **Text-to-speech** Premium voice synthesis (ElevenLabs) converts any article or AI response to audio, enabling eyes-free consumption of the news. --- ## Pricing | Tier | Price | Highlights | |------|-------|-----------| | **Guest (no account)** | $0 | Live feed, map, markets, 3 AI queries/day | | **Free account** | $0 — currently unlocks everything during early access | + Live TV (9 channels); all Pro features are free while early access lasts | | **Pro Monthly (planned, not yet billed)** | $9.99/month | 120 AI queries/day, 13 languages, premium AI models (Claude, GPT-4o, Gemini), all features | | **Pro Annual (planned, not yet billed)** | $95.88/year | All Pro features at ~$7.99/month | Pro/Ultimate checkout is not live yet — joining the waitlist at monolith.news/pricing locks in the introductory pricing above once billing opens.
