Most of the stuff I presented in this talk (the structured data extraction things, AI query assistance etc) is so new that it's not had a chance to be used for a published story yet - I'm working with a few newsrooms right now getting them setup with it though.

Datasette itself has been used for all kinds of things within newsrooms. Two recent examples I heard about: the WSJ use it internally for tools around topics like CEO compensation tracking, and Bellingcat have used it for some of their work that involves leaked data relating to Russia.

The problem with open source tools is that people can use them without telling you about it! I'm trying to get better at encouraging people to share details like this with me, I'd really like to get some good use-cases written up.
