BusinessDay launches Nigeria’s first AI news assistant

As Nigeria’s leading business newspaper, we are proud to introduce SIA (Strategic Intelligence Assistant), the country’s first AI-powered chatbot launched by a newspaper.

Designed to help readers find answers faster, understand complex economic and business issues, and unlock insights from BusinessDay’s trusted journalism, SIA marks a new chapter in how news is consumed.

From markets and policy to companies and personal finance, SIA puts BusinessDay’s intelligence at your fingertips, 24 hours a day. Innovation has always been part of our DNA, and once again, BusinessDay is setting the pace for the future of journalism in Nigeria.

Readers can use SIA to ask questions in plain language, explore BusinessDay’s reporting on key issues, summarise complex topics, and quickly find relevant stories without having to search through multiple articles.

Whether following major policy developments, understanding market trends, researching companies, or seeking context on economic events, SIA delivers responses grounded in BusinessDay’s trusted editorial content.

The launch reflects a broader shift in digital journalism, where news organisations are increasingly combining artificial intelligence with credible reporting to improve how audiences discover and interact with information. By introducing SIA, BusinessDay is giving readers a faster, more intuitive way to access the depth of its journalism while maintaining the accuracy and editorial standards that have defined the publication for decades.
