“An exciting innovation in an important new journalistic field.” - Women in Journalism, Media Freedom Awards
Meet Sophina. Your AI-Powered Video Explainer Tool.
In 2024, Sophia had an idea: what if an AI tool could help people create viral video explainers - just like she does?
Sophia knew this could work because she’s spent years perfecting the art of social video, training journalists and experts on how to make TikToks and Reels as well as building her own following. Through private research, she found that the biggest barriers for journalists were lack of time and video skills. So she set out to fix that.
In just three months, she built the first prototype of Sophina—a web-based chatbot trained on her knowledge and viral TikTok scripts. It was a hit, winning Women in Journalism’s Georgina Henry Award for digital innovation in the UK. Now, the project is backed by the International Center for Journalism as part of their Disarming Disinformation Solutions Challenge.
What’s Next for Sophina?
The Sophina prototype is offline during development and will be ready for beta testing in April.
