SanFranciscoNewsAI reads San Francisco's newsrooms every 30 minutes, from Mission Local, the SF Standard and KQED to the Chronicle and the Bay Area's TV stations, and uses AI to summarize each story and score how much it matters to the city. Each day it publishes a top 10 of the San Francisco stories worth your time, from City Hall and Muni to the neighborhoods and the ballpark.
Why local matters: In a world flooded with national and global headlines, it's easy to lose sight of what's happening in your own neighborhood. SanFranciscoNewsAI filters out the noise so you can focus on San Francisco—the stories about your schools, your streets, your local government, and your neighbors.
What we cover: City and County of San Francisco (all neighborhoods, including Treasure Island and SF-owned SFO), plus the Bay Area systems that directly serve SF residents: BART, Muni/SFMTA, Caltrain, Golden Gate Bridge/Transit, the Bay Bridge, SF Bay ferries, and regional transit or housing ballot measures.
Supporting local journalism: Every story links directly to the original source, driving traffic back to the newsrooms doing the real work. We don't host articles or media—we send readers straight to the source.
We pull stories directly from these trusted San Francisco news organizations:
Stories are refreshed around the clock—we continuously scan every source's feeds and pages for new articles.
Each article is analyzed by AI to judge how much it matters to a typical San Francisco resident, then scored 0–100 on importance.
Articles are ranked by importance score, so the biggest San Francisco news stories of the day rise to the top.
We limit how many stories any single outlet can place, so you get news from multiple newsrooms, not just one.
A fresh top 10 publishes every day at 6:05 AM local time, drawn from the most recent coverage.
Every story links to the original source—we never host content, just help you find it.
