AI should make all three faster.
We don't automate your content. We automate everything around it: research, operations, scheduling, backend systems, and the workflows your team spends hours on every week.
Most media brands only think about content when they think about AI. Here is what the whole operation looks like when AI is running the backend.
We work across the full stack of media and publishing tools. Can't find yours? We'll learn it.
The team you would hire built and operates two active AI software products in production every day.
AI-powered newsletter production software for local media operators and publishers. Lightbreak handles research, sourcing, and draft assembly so editors spend their time on judgment and voice, not grunt work. Built by TJ. Powers 20-plus newsletters today.
Intelligent form and intake automation for media brands and agencies. Greetform routes submissions, triggers follow-ups, and feeds your pipeline without anyone touching a spreadsheet. Built for the ops workflows most media teams handle manually today.
TJ Larkin runs a network of 20-plus newsletters with over 160,000 subscribers using AI-powered operations he built himself. He is not an observer. He is an active operator who uses this every day to run a real media business.
He built Lightbreak, an AI-powered newsletter production platform used to power his portfolio, and Greetform, an intelligent form and intake automation tool. Both are live and in production.
Modern Media Engine is where he makes everything he has built, tested, and refined across a real portfolio available to other media operators, publishers, and content businesses.

We help media brands use AI to accelerate research, sourcing, and draft structure. We believe a human editor should always review content before it publishes. We do not build fully automated content pipelines.
What kinds of media companies do you work with?
Newsletter operators, podcast studios, local media brands, legacy publishers modernizing their stack, and marketing agencies running content operations at scale. If your business produces and distributes content, we can help.
What does an AI audit actually look like?
A 90-minute working session over Zoom where we map every workflow in your operation and identify exactly where AI saves time, money, or headcount. You receive a written playbook within 5 business days whether you hire us afterward or not.
Can you train our whole team?
Yes. Half-day and full-day training sessions for teams of five to fifty, with role-specific exercises and printed reference guides for every attendee. Pricing is custom based on team size and format.
How is this different from a typical AI agency?
TJ Larkin is an active media operator running 20-plus newsletters with over 160,000 subscribers and two AI software products in production. The advice comes from someone who does this every day.
We already have writers. Can we still use AI?
Absolutely. Keep your writers. Automate everything else: research sourcing, scheduling, intake routing, subscriber operations, and reporting. Your writers spend more time writing, less time doing operational busywork.
