abstract intelligence:
Get to the essentials faster – automatically generated abstracts and translations for articles, sections and entire press reviews
With DataScan’s abstract intelligence, you can enhance your press review with automatically generated AI summaries and translations of articles, sections and entire press review issues: the press office receives the AI-generated content directly into the tool newsweb, in which their press review is compiled. This enables readers and decision-makers to get a quicker overview of the most important topics.
When media coverage needs to be understood faster
Anyone who creates or uses press reviews on a daily basis knows the challenge: numerous sources, countless articles and limited time. Especially with extensive issues or complex topics, it is becoming increasingly important to assess and prioritise information more quickly.
abstract intelligence supports you in exactly this: the new add-on for newsweb automatically generates concise AI summaries and integrates them directly into your existing press review workflow.
What abstract intelligence brings to your press review
With abstract intelligence, the content of your press review can be automatically condensed, for example as:
- Article summaries for a quick introduction to individual pieces
- Section abstracts for a compact overview of topic clusters
- Comprehensive summaries for the cover page or introduction to the edition
- Translations for multilingual press reviews or internationally usable editions
The abstracts can be placed in a wide variety of locations: in the PDF table of contents, in the mobile edition, by e-mail or as a TOP item on the start page of your press review portal.
This gives your readers clear guidance on the most important developments of the day before they even start reading in detail.

Integrated directly into newsweb — not added as an external step
- The key difference: abstract intelligence does not operate outside your workflow, but directly within newsweb. This means for you:
- No additional manual steps
- No copying and pasting between systems
- No publication without editorial review
The summaries are generated exactly where your press review is already edited, checked and published.
AI with editorial control
Automation is only helpful if it remains manageable in everyday use. That is why the generated abstracts are not published without review. They can be checked in advance, edited by your editorial team and only then included in the final edition.
This allows you to combine the speed of AI with the quality assurance standards of your press office.
