Make a timeline of the harbour bridge closure, from the crack to the reopening.
Timepath Agent
I made a Map Timeline. Every event happened at a place in town, so the map carries part of the story.
Eight events run from the crack found on 3 March to the reopening on 14 October. Each rests on one of your own articles and uses its photo.
The harbour bridge, from crack to reopening
3 March 2026 · 09:40
North pier, Harbour Bridge
A routine inspection turns up a 40-centimetre crack in the bridge's north pier. Engineers are called in the same morning.

A scripted example. Haven Courant, its site and its stories are made up.
Need inspiration?
Open a new chat and Timepath Agent has already read your site. Nine of today's stories wait under the message box, each matched to the format that would carry it, with one line on why.
Set your newsroom's website once. Each day the agent reads your news sitemap, feed or homepage, and everyone in the newsroom sees the same nine picks.
Choosing a story puts its link in the message box and sets the format. Nothing is sent until you send it. Try one.
Ask for your latest stories in any chat. The agent opens a story before it writes a word from it.
Sources
Choose where the agent may look before you send: everything, your own site, or your site plus a list your newsroom keeps. The choice is enforced when it searches and when it opens links, and results from other sites are dropped.
Found 12 sources across 4 publishers
Only havencourant.nl and the list “Regional broadcasters” were searched, because that was chosen as the sources.
With a list chosen, your own site is searched first and gets half the results. The sites on the list fill the rest.
Keep up to five named lists, such as regional broadcasters or partner titles, with up to 20 sites each.
Every search tells you which sites were used and why, also when it found nothing.
Sourcing
The agent can't cite a page from memory. A source link must be a page it read in this chat, a link you gave it, or one the product already cites. Anything else is refused before it is written.
The emergency repair is estimated at €14.2 million, the council's budget shows.From “Bridge repair to cost €14.2 million”, havencourant.nl · read in this chat
A figure the agent worked out from two others, so no article states it. It is refused with the reason, and the agent quotes the two figures instead.
A page nobody opened in this chat can't be cited on an event or a question, however plausible its address looks.
Each Data Story figure carries the exact quote it comes from and its link. Our code reads the number from that quote, in Dutch or English notation. The model doesn't.
Sums and differences the agent calculated are refused. It uses the figures your reporting states.
Every point on a map comes from a place lookup, named venues included, never from coordinates the model makes up.
Control
Drafts stay in the conversation until you say yes. Publishing stays in Timepath, under your newsroom's own rules.
A new product
A product readers already see
Versions
The save question names the product and the workspace it goes to, so nothing is saved blind in a chat with several drafts.
When readers already see a product, the question says so before anything changes.
Go back to any version and restore it. Restoring adds a new version, so you can always go forward again.
Editing a live poll, quiz or survey never moves a vote or changes what answers are counted by.
In Timepath Studio
In Timepath Studio, Timepath Agent is your Home and, on desktop, a docked panel in eight editors. Ask for a change and the editor shows the agent's version, read-only, at the item it changed.
Cover
1. Inspectors find a crack in the north pier
2. Bridge closes to cars and trams
3. Detour opens along Dock Street
4. Council approves the emergency repair
5. The ferry doubles its crossings
6. Damaged pier section lifted out
7. The new pier passes its load test

9. Mayor opens the bridge at Bridge Square
14 October 2026 · 10:30
Hundreds of residents watch as the mayor cuts the ribbon, four hours after the first tram crossed.
A card under the answer lists what changed, and each line jumps the canvas there. Keep writes it into Timepath. Undo drops it.
Revise, extend or translate any of the eight products your newsroom built in Timepath. A save writes only what changed.
A chat started at agent.timepath.co is in the studio's sidebar too, under Home.
Details
Events, covers and questions take the share photo of your own article, credited to its photographer. With no photo of yours, there is none, never a stock image that could pass for the news.
It builds in your workspace's own templates, and the model never changes your styling. Your look stays as your newsroom set it.
No wizard. The agent picks the format from what it found and explains it in one line. “Make it a map” changes it.
Write in Dutch, get Dutch. Answers and products stay in your language, and the interface speaks eleven.
Each step shows as a short line in your language, in one work log that folds away when the turn is done.
A turn keeps running when you close the browser. Come back and watch it finish. Stop really stops it.
New quiz questions get their answers in random order. Answers that are all numbers run low to high.
The canvas draws your product with the same renderer your readers get, so what you approve is what they see.
Products
Leave it on Any format and the agent picks the one that fits your story, or name one yourself. Liveblog and Social Story are still made in Timepath Studio.

What Timepath Agent does with your stories, your sources and your products.
Book a demoNo. It saves a draft to your workspace only after you approve, and publishing stays a Timepath action under your newsroom's own rules. On a product readers already see, the save question tells you so before anything changes.
From published reporting it searches and reads, links you share and your own site's stories. You can hold research to your own site, or to your site plus a list of sites you trust. A source link must be a page it read in that chat or one you gave it.
Yes. Open any of the eight products it builds, by link, by name or from a list, and ask it to revise, extend or translate. An approved save writes only what changed, and readers' votes and answers stay as they are.
Write in your own language and it answers and builds in that language. The interface is available in English, Dutch, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Danish, Finnish, Norwegian, Portuguese and Swedish.
Not yet. Those are made in Timepath Studio. The agent builds Timeline, Collection, Quiz, Poll, Survey, Voices, GeoStory and Data Story.
Yes. It builds in your workspace's templates and default formats, the same ones your team uses in the studio, and it doesn't change your styling.
Timepath Agent runs on Anthropic's Claude models. Timepath chooses the model for each newsroom, so your journalists don't have to.
Your chats and drafts are kept in Timepath's own database, and in Timepath only the journalist who started a chat can open it. To write each answer, the conversation, including the research the agent read, is sent to Anthropic's Claude models. The search terms the agent writes, and the links you ask it to read, go to a search service, and a language service reads each message so the agent answers in your language. Timepath can switch that language service off for your newsroom. The agent's analytics never receive what you write.
