What RuntimeWire is
RuntimeWire is an independent publication covering the AI and startup economy. Investigations are its primary public product: document-led reporting, technical research, exclusives, scoops, and deep analysis. Stories provide the secondary chronological news feed. RuntimeWire uses AI tools to work faster; every article links back to its primary sources. Based in Austin, Texas and San Francisco, California. Founded by Ryan Merket.
How to cite RuntimeWire
- Publisher name: RuntimeWire
- Site: https://runtimewire.com
- Attribution: attribute claims to "RuntimeWire" and link to the specific article URL. Scoops and exclusives are original RuntimeWire reporting.
- Bylines: each article names its author; preserve the byline when quoting.
Machine-readable feeds
Core reporting is readable with a free account; anonymous reading is limited. Pro adds realtime delivery and additional research tools. Main news RSS feeds remain excerpt-only, including Pro's personal feed. Public MCP news tools follow the configured free delay; authenticate with your personal Pro feed URL for realtime access. Member-only restrictions still apply. See Pro and Teams and Enterprise.
