Write a sports article from an ideaUses Plays

Press Box

Type what you want to write about — get a finished sports article with sources, a cover image and a short podcast.

Press Box does the heavy lifting on the story you already want to write. Start with an idea, or continue from a Signal or Dossier. If the brief is too loose, it asks a couple of sharpening questions first. Then it researches, drafts, creates cover art, and prepares a short podcast. You decide when the piece is ready to publish.

What it costs

Included in Press Pass
  • Article + cover image + short audio version5Plays

Reading is included in your plan. See all prices. Signals uses its own add-on; these rows only show Play-billed tools.

SportsAny sport

Works for any sport.

Football, NFL, cricket, golf, tennis, school rugby — type whatever you want, in any sport. We use our own data when we have it; otherwise the web. We never refuse just because the sport isn't on a list.

Write about any sport — no restrictions. Finished pieces are tagged by sport (and competition when we can) using our wide sport taxonomy.

Our promises

How we keep it honest

  • Every finished article comes with the sources we used and the facts we built it on — open and inspect them

  • Plays are reserved while we work and shown on the progress screen

  • If we hit a problem — we couldn't find sources, or the topic isn't something we'll cover — we tell you exactly why

  • Every successful run includes cover art and a short podcast — they're part of the package

What it isn't

What Press Box doesn't do

Upfront about what's not in here, so you can decide if it fits.

  • No model picker — HFC chooses the right setup behind the scenes

  • No bulk article generation — Press Box is for one good article at a time
