Two decades of voice innovation.
Lexy began with a simple belief that spoken information should be as easy to access as written information. In 2004, that meant delivering the news through a toll free phone line. Since then, the work has moved through mobile news, interactive voice systems, global newsrooms and conversational AI. Lexy brings those lessons together in a platform built to make stories talk back.
Built inside global newsrooms.
Lexy draws on two decades of product leadership across public broadcasters, digital publishers and independent media organizations.
More than 50 digital products across Al Jazeera's English, Arabic, Turkish and Balkan networks, including award winning election platforms developed with the World Wide Web Foundation.
Product and research leadership for Turkey's public broadcaster, spanning television, radio and digital news in more than 20 languages. The work included an early voice first newsroom built years before conversational AI entered the mainstream.
Product leadership training for news executives from ten countries through the Media Development Investment Fund, focused on building sustainable digital media businesses.

Over 36 mobile news portals launched for major American broadcasters including NBC, Cox, Hearst-Argyle, McGraw-Hill and Post-Newsweek, when local news on a phone was still new.
Built through every era of voice.
News delivered by phone through touch tone menus and spoken prompts.
Voice experiences move from phone calls to apps, making spoken news available on demand.
Voice assistants bring news into homes, cars and everyday routines.
