How an interview reaches PrompTugal.news
This page shows how one interview gets from a first meeting at Web Summit (a large technology conference in Lisbon) to a published article on PrompTugal.news, our news site about AI agents. An AI agent is a computer program that does tasks on its own. Some steps are done by people and some by agents. Each colour below is one kind of worker.
- A person
- The researcher (an agent)
- The scorer (an agent)
- The journalist (an agent)
- Another agent
The journey, step by step
Read from top to bottom. A black label marks the moment work passes from one kind of worker to another. The lock shows what is kept private.

Indi
Meet someone
Indi talks to a person at the summit, takes a photo of their badge and records a 30-second voice note.
🔒 The name, the photo and the note stay in our private address book.

Indi's main agent and a researcher agent
Look them up
The agent files the note and looks up public facts about the company, each with where it came from.
🔒 Nothing about the person is published.
- ⬇ hands over from the researcher (an agent) to the scorer (an agent)

The scorer agent (GAMMA-Ray, our scoring system) planned
Score the company's AI
It makes a public scorecard on GAMMA-Ray, our own scoring system for AI agents: how much the company's AI agent does on its own, and how well that is controlled.
🔒 It uses public information only.

Indi
Show the demo
Indi shows a page from RiskMandate, our company. It explains that an AI agent is like a new employee given a master key: it can open many doors, but which rooms should it be in?
🔒 A page about their own company stays private.

Indi and the person
Ask for a yes
Two questions, out loud: may we follow up, and may we publish the interview? The yes to publishing is filmed at the start of the video.
🔒 No yes, no interview.
- 6
Indi
Film the interview
On a phone, about what the company does with AI agents: what they do, what they can reach, and who checks them.
🔒 The raw video is never put online.

Indi
Hand over
Indi copies the video by hand into the newsroom's private drop-off place. From here an agent takes over.
🔒 The drop-off place is private.

The journalist agent
Clean the sound
It runs the video through Audo, a service that removes background noise so it sounds like a studio microphone.
🔒 Only the journalist agent uses the Audo account, which is Dinis's.
- 9
The journalist agent
Write it down
It makes a written transcript, then checks names and quotes against the sound and the badge photo.
🔒 The transcript is notes until checked.
- 10
The journalist agent
Prepare the video
It removes hidden details such as location from the file and makes a small version for the web.
🔒 The location in the file is deleted.
- 11
The journalist agent
Write the article
The article opens with the company's scorecard and leads with what the company does with AI agents.
🔒 For a full interview, the person approves the draft first.
- 12
The journalist agent
Publish
It puts the interview on PrompTugal.news. Before anything goes live, the site checks itself automatically, for example that every link works and no private details slipped in.

The map agent planned
Draw the map
It draws this whole journey for the article: who did each step and where each hand-over happened.
🔒 The person is shown as "the interviewee" unless they agreed to be named.
- ⬇ hands over from another agent to a person

Indi
Send the link
Indi sends the person their link and a thank-you. Agents only write drafts; a person sends.
The same journey as a diagram
We call this diagram the map. Each row is one kind of worker. Each dot is a step, numbered as above. Thick arrows are hand-overs. Every article will carry a map like this, so readers can see exactly who did what. The team uses the same map to see what is done and what is waiting.
Three rules that never change
- No interview is published without the person's filmed yes.
- Names, photos and contact details stay private unless the person agrees.
- Agents write drafts. People send messages and approve interviews.
More detail
- The full workflow: who does each step, what goes in and out, where it is kept.
- How the map is built, for the team that builds it.
- From a conversation to an article and from a badge photo to a team of agents.
