About Bloomington AI

Bloomington AI is an independent local site covering Bloomington, Minnesota — daily news, City Hall, a live business directory, and weather. Its goal is simple: make what's happening in Bloomington easy to find and easy to read.

It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or speaking for the City of Bloomington, Mall of America, or any local government body. It's an independent project.

How it works

The coverage here is written by AI. Software continuously reads public sources, groups related developments into stories, and an AI writer produces each article from what those sources actually say. Every story links back to the material it was built from — you can always check the original.

The public sources it digests include:

  • City meetings— Bloomington's publicly broadcast City Council, Planning Commission, HRA, and Port Authority meetings, plus published agendas, condensed into plain-English recaps that link to the moment in the video.
  • Weather — the National Weather Service (weather.gov), a free public data source, for current conditions, forecasts, and alerts.
  • Things to do— Mall of America's public events calendar and other local happenings.
  • Local news — publicly published reporting from area outlets, always credited and linked, never republished wholesale.
  • Business directory — open map data (OpenStreetMap) plus public listing information for Bloomington businesses.

About the byline

Articles are published under the name Gus Lindberg— the byline for this site's automated newsroom, not a claim about an individual reporter. The reporting is AI-generated from the public sources above.

Accuracy & corrections

AI-written coverage can get things wrong. Every article cites its sources so you can verify anything, and if you spot an error we want to fix it. Email [email protected] with the story and what's wrong.
