HERISAGA Authoring
The AI authoring system behind HERISAGA. A source-to-facts pipeline chunks and indexes historical sources and extracts cited, structured facts from them, so every episode starts from evidence instead of a blank page. People review each fact before lessons and questions are drafted from the approved ones in English and Albanian, and editors approve every episode in Directus before it is published as a pinned revision. It is built so that AI makes writing history faster without inventing it.
