Inspiration

It came from a simple thought, we had to build an application which would use Prompt. Writer, Rewriter, Translator in the most natural and cohesive manner possible, so what is the one field of work where all these are used simultaneously? News, articles, writing and reporting. Newspapers, houses, editing forms make use of all these functions in different departments on a much larger scale. But what about independent writers, freelancers who don't have to capital for this but have the passion for writing? NewsForge aims to unify the same functionalities powered by AI to make it efficient, simple, fast.

What it does

NewsForge is made up of 4 core tools to assist writing: Prompt API What it does: Generates 5 fresh, timely article topics from your idea. Example: You type "AI regulation" → it returns: "EU AI Act Phase 2: €50M Fines Begin Next Week" "AI Bias Audits Now Mandatory in U.S. Tech Hiring"

Writer API What it does: Writes a full, AP-style news article with real citations. Example: You enter "social media trends 2025" → it outputs:

Social Media Trends Explode, Defining a New Era of Online Culture New York, NY – November 1, 2025 – [Reuters] reports...

Rewriter API What it does: Takes your draft and gives 2 polished versions (A: concise, B: narrative). Example: You paste a messy draft → it returns:

Variant A (short & direct) Variant B (storytelling style)

Translator API What it does: Translates your full article into 150+ languages instantly. Example: English article → Spanish, Hindi, Arabic — all on-device.

How we built it

We built NewsForge using:

Next.js 14 (App Router) – for fast, server-side rendering and API routes. Tailwind CSS + RadixUI – for a clean, consistent, full-width interface. Google Gemini 2.0 Flash and Google Chrome's Built-in API – for writing, topic generation, and translation. Firebase - for user authentication

Challenges we ran into

1.Chrome AI Prompt API didn’t work reliably -We tried using window.Prompt in Canary. It failed on most machines. -Solution: Switched everything to Gemini via server-side API.

  1. Streaming issues -Users saw partial JSON or broken markdown. -Solution: Built chunked streaming with buffer parsing and UI fallbacks. ## Accomplishments that we're proud of No user setup required - no API keys, no Chrome flags, no enable experimental features. Consistent design - all four tabs use the same layout, fonts, and glassmorphism style. Real- world application ## What we learned How well AI tools can be leveraged for making complex tasks more efficient, simple and easier to achieve ## What's next for NewsForge
  2. Export to Word/PDF so you can send to editors or clients.
  3. Save & Organize Drafts
  4. Fact-Check Sidebar where you click a claim to see the source and verification status. NewsForge isn’t trying to replace journalists. It’s trying to give them back their time so they can focus on asking better questions, finding better stories, and telling them with clarity.
