LeadStory has raised $2.75 million in seed funding to launch its AI video search feature, announced in a press release. The funding round was led by Checker Media, with participation from American Public Media Group's Horizon Fund and CP Ventures.

The new AI video search functionality aims to address issues of AI hallucinations and outdated responses by providing users with high-quality broadcast news clips as answers to their queries. This approach ensures that responses are fact-checked and verified, enhancing trust in the information provided.

LeadStory leverages partnerships with major media outlets like CBS, CNBC, Reuters, and Euronews to power its AI capabilities. The platform is already available in multiple markets, including on Samsung TV Plus and VIZIO in North America, and has been selected by Mercedes-Benz for in-car video news experiences.
