Expert Source Finder
Find subject matter experts on a topic: a list of credible experts with their credentials, recent work, perspective and a public professional contact route.
Built for journalists and researchers who need to find subject matter experts to interview.
- Research news verification
Why this work is hard
Journalists and researchers looking for people to interview spend hours on this by hand: finding the right sources, reading them, checking them against each other and writing up what matters. The work is repetitive, it is easy to miss something, and nobody can show where a claim came from.
Expert Source Finder does that work as a GREP AI agent. It runs when you ask, and you can put it on a daily, weekly or monthly schedule. Every run delivers a sourced report, with every claim linked to its source.
