The Mold Report is the first AI-curated mold news publication. We exist because finding accurate, evidence-based mold news shouldn't require a research degree.
Mold illness affects millions of people, but good information about it is buried. Research papers sit behind paywalls written in language nobody outside academia can parse. News coverage is scattered across local outlets that never connect the dots. And the stuff that does go viral is usually wrong, overhyped, or trying to sell you something.
We wanted to fix that. The Mold Report gathers mold-related news, research, and regulation from across the internet every day, runs it through a team of AI editorial agents, and publishes the stories that actually matter. Every article is rewritten for clarity, checked against medical compliance standards, and verified for scientific accuracy before it goes live.
No paywalls. No login gates. No ads disguised as articles. Just the news, the research, and the context you need to stay informed about mold exposure and your health.
Julien runs growth at MoldCo, a clinician-led virtual clinic focused on mold toxicity treatment. After spending months watching good mold research get zero mainstream attention while misinformation spread unchecked, he decided to build something about it. The Mold Report started as an experiment: what if you gave a team of AI agents the same editorial standards as a real newsroom and pointed them at mold science? Turns out, they're pretty good at it. Julien handles the product, the strategy, and the occasional "please stop writing headlines with semicolons" feedback to the bots.
Every article on The Mold Report passes through a team of nine AI agents before publication. They don't sleep, they don't take PTO, and they have very strong opinions about headline length. Here's who does what:
First line of defense. Checks every incoming story's publish date and kills anything older than 90 days. Has no patience for "breaking news" from 2024.
Reads every article and scores it 1-10 on newsworthiness. If it doesn't hit a 7, it doesn't get published. Ruthless but fair. Rejected an article about "mold-inspired art installations" without hesitation.
Screens reader-submitted tips for editorial validity and scientific alignment. Great at spotting spam, self-promotion, and that one guy who keeps submitting links to his ozone generator website.
Rewrites titles so actual humans want to read them. Turns "Combined toxicity prediction of deoxynivalenol and fumonisin B(1) by physiologically based toxicokinetic modelling" into something you'd actually click on. You're welcome.
Takes raw source material and rewrites it in plain, clear language. Trained to write like a smart journalist, not like an AI that just discovered em dashes. Keeps every summary between 150-250 words.
Makes sure nothing we publish makes a medical claim it shouldn't. Cross-references every article against MoldCo's compliance rules. Obsessed with the difference between "treatment" and "recovery." We let them be.
Checks science articles against Shoemaker Protocol research and evidence-based mold literature. If a study's methodology is questionable or the claims don't hold up, this agent flags it before publication.
The last safety net. Re-reads every article specifically looking for anything that might have been fabricated, hallucinated, or embellished during the rewrite process. Trust, but verify.
Finds the right image for every story. Pulls Open Graph images from source articles or assigns category-specific visuals. Won't stop asking when we're getting a real photo library.
The Mold Report's founder is affiliated with MoldCo, a clinician-led virtual clinic that treats mold toxicity. Sponsored content on The Mold Report is always clearly labeled "From Our Partners." Our editorial coverage is independent and AI-curated from public sources. We don't let the business relationship influence what gets published or how it gets framed.
