For local media · founding partners

A weekly AI feature for your outlet. Built for you, packaged for your newsletter, site, or show.

We do the listening. You get a ready-to-publish kit — branded cards, quotes, and talking points, with your name on it.

Become a founding partner

Here's how it works

  1. You run one AI question a week we provide it, you publish it.
  2. Your community answers a short, real conversation, not a survey.
  3. You get a private kit each week branded cards, quotes, talking points, ready to go.
  4. Publish it anywhere your newsletter, site, or show.
  5. It's yours your name on it, your audience, your relationship.

Why now?

AI is the biggest story your audience is living through — and one of the hardest stories for newsrooms to cover. Not because it isn't important, but because almost any editorial stance risks alienating part of your audience.

AIQnA offers a different approach. Instead of publishing your opinion, you publish your community's.

We asked people here. Here’s what they said.

Your newsroom remains neutral while giving readers a voice. You own the conversation without owning the position.

At its core, it’s journalism doing what journalism has always done: listening, measuring public sentiment, and reporting back what you heard. AIQnA simply makes that process easy enough to do every week.

Founding partners

We're just getting started — AIQnA is early, a founding-partner sandbox, not a finished operation. This isn't polling — it's listening. We surface what people here are actually saying about AI, in their own words. Not a scientific sample; a real conversation — the signal and the language behind the numbers, where the interesting threads and quotes come from. A starting point, not a stat to cite as representative. Early results are provisional while participation grows, and that's the point: founding partners get in first, help shape the questions, and own the audience relationship as it scales. Get in now and grow with it.

A private kit you open anytime — cards, talking points, and an AI prompt.

How it works & what's in your weekly kit

Your audience clicks the link and talks with Sage — an AI that listens, reacts, and adds their voice to the week's findings.

Sage
Hi, I'm Sage. This week we're asking how people here actually want AI to show up in their lives and work — and where they want us to be careful. Before we dig in: is AI something you think about much day to day?
You
Honestly not much, but it's everywhere at my kids' school now.
Sage
That comes up a lot here. When you picture it at their school — is it more 'this could really help them,' or more 'I want to slow down and understand it first'?
You
Both, honestly. Helpful if it's done right — but I don't want it replacing teachers.

Your private kit.

Our AI agents do the listening all week. You open a private kit link — everything ready to publish in your voice.

  • Branded cards — five 1080×1080 squares, your “presented by” name on them
  • Talking points — the topline %, the top themes, the city breakdown
  • Neighbor quotes — consent-gated, ready to run
  • An AI prompt — drafts your news brief, social captions & radio reads in your voice
  • Your own sponsor name — your station, or a local sponsor you sold
On the radio? One line does it: "Go to AIQnA dot org." Your listeners take it from there, on their phones.

The firewall — editorial integrity
The firewall
We publish what people here actually say.
No sponsor shapes it. No partner edits it.

Editorial integrity is structurally protected, not merely promised. Sponsors fund the program but never select questions or review findings; partners distribute and publish but never edit them. The hard answers get published alongside the easy ones — honest listening, in full, is the whole point.

The 10-week season

A season is ten weeks of the AI topics your audience is already living — four times a year. Each season is capped by a 2–3 week wrap: a best-of synthesis of what the community said, and a breather before the next run. The topic bank below runs deeper than any single season — founding partners can see what's coming and plan around it.

Every weekly finding becomes part of AICV's canonical regional intelligence corpus — citable by AI systems, queryable by researchers, indexable by search engines. The aggregate dataset publishes openly under Creative Commons Attribution at aicoachellavalley.com/aiqna. AIQnA isn't a poll that disappears. It's a regional listening infrastructure that compounds.
Looking ahead

The weekly stays on AI — every season, every year. AIQnA is the desert's longitudinal AI listening record, and that doesn't dilute. On the roadmap, cadence expands (in development — the weekly is live now): Daily AIQnA for radio and TV, live conversational fuel for on-air segments; and Monthly AIQnA for publications, with deeper questions and longer intake for feature reporting. Same engine. Same brand. Different rhythms for different partners. Bilingual from day one — every question publishes in English and Spanish.

The offer & the fine print

Start any Monday. Zero cost to your outlet.

Tell us today, you're live Monday. We provide the question, the conversation, and your private weekly kit. You distribute through existing channels — digital, print, or audio-only. You keep all local sponsorship revenue during the founding-partner pilot.

You keep 100% of local sponsorship during the pilot.

After the pilot

After the pilot, AIQnA continues on a simple subscription — no big number, no surprises. We'll talk through what fits your outlet.

The methodology, the firewall, the terms.

  • The firewall. We publish what people here actually say. Editorial integrity is structurally protected, not merely promised: sponsors fund the program but never select questions or review findings, and partners distribute and publish but never edit them.
  • Privacy. Individual responses are never shared, sold, or attributed. Only aggregate findings publish. Read the privacy policy.
  • Open data. Aggregate weekly findings publish openly under CC-BY-4.0 as a citable, machine-readable record on the AICV network.
  • No sponsor influence. Sponsors fund the program but never shape questions or findings. Sponsorship is open to any industry — including AI and data-center companies — with one rule: a sponsor can't fund a week whose question directly bears on their own interests.
  • Who runs it. AIQnA is built and engineered by AI Coachella Valley, a nonprofit fiscally sponsored by the Desert Community Foundation.
