Non-professional writers writing for Ripple will be allowed to utilize AI tool called Ember, designed by the Post to help them write articles. Reportedly, the tool will guide writers through the writing process of the article, advising them on creating an "early thesis", "supporting points", and a "memorable ending", and will also evaluate their progress using a "story strength" tracker. The articles will be reviewed by human editors before being published.
