SANTA MONICA, Calif., July 1, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Everlit, an innovative pioneer in AI-driven media, is proud to announce a partnership with Newspack, and Automattic company, to bring cutting-edge AI audio technology to their newsrooms around the world.

Core features like cloned Author's Voices, multi-language/multi-dialect support, background sounds and Emmy-award winning music help cater to all audiences.
- Scalable Solutions for Publishers: The combined technologies offer a scalable and no-code solution that can be adopted by newsrooms of all sizes. Whether it's a small local paper or a large international media organization, the partnership provides the tools needed to produce consistent and engaging audio content.
- Opportunities for Monetization: The partnership also delivers opportunities for sponsored players, programmatic and direct ad opportunities for articles, and opportunities for audio discovery and referral.
