BusinessDay, Nigeria's top business publication, has rolled out SIA, an artificial intelligence chatbot designed to help readers navigate complex financial and economic stories. The tool marks the first time a Nigerian newspaper has launched such technology to its audience.
SIA works around the clock, allowing readers to ask questions in everyday language and get answers rooted in BusinessDay's reporting. Users can explore market trends, understand policy shifts, research companies, and dig into economic developments without sifting through multiple articles.
The chatbot summarises complicated topics and pulls relevant stories from BusinessDay's archive of trusted journalism. It covers everything from equity markets and government policy to corporate news and personal wealth management.
BusinessDay said the launch reflects a shift in how news organisations use technology. Combining artificial intelligence with credible reporting gives readers faster, more intuitive access to information, the publication noted.
"Innovation has always been part of our DNA, and once again, BusinessDay is setting the pace for the future of journalism in Nigeria," the newspaper said in a statement.
The move keeps the newspaper's editorial standards and accuracy intact while modernising how audiences discover and interact with content. BusinessDay has built its reputation over decades on rigorous reporting and analysis.
Readers can test SIA by visiting www.businessday.ng.
