What is ApexCast?
ApexCast is an AI-assisted local video newsroom focused on Apex, North Carolina. We’re building short, approachable coverage of local news, weather, sports and community life. It’s your Apex, North Carolina Towncast.

Are the presenters AI characters?
Yes. Our on-screen presenters are original AI characters, not real reporters or eyewitnesses. AI helps us create the videos; human editorial review is part of the publishing process. Sources, accuracy and clear corrections matter.
Is this the Town of Apex’s official account?
No. ApexCast is an independent Towncast station, not a government service or an official Town of Apex account. Our North Carolina badge is a custom brand mark, not a government seal.
How do I suggest a story or report a correction?
Email mira@corbinapp.com with the subject ApexCast story idea or ApexCast correction. Include a source link, the relevant date and a way to reach you. A submission is a tip for review, not a promise of coverage.
