What to generate

Six drafts worth handing to AI

Pick the jobs where structure matters and facts come from you.

Press release drafts

Give it the news, the number and a quote you will stand behind. You get a clean first draft in minutes, not days.

Pitch emails

One angle per journalist type, one opening line per person. Short, specific and written to be answered, not admired.

Follow-ups

The day-3 and day-7 nudges nobody wants to write. Short, polite, and sent only to people who have not replied.

Podcast pitches

Hosts want a guest angle and a reason you suit their audience. Same brief, different draft.

Bylines and op-ed outlines

Get a structure and a first pass at an argument, then add your own examples and numbers.

Boilerplate and bios

The company paragraph, the founder bio and the one-line description, kept consistent across every send.

The catch

Words are cheap, targeting is not

Any AI content generator can produce a decent paragraph. What decides whether a journalist replies is whether the pitch reaches the right desk with the right angle. That is the gap between a text tool and a PR workflow. Draft with AI, but choose the people first, and let the draft follow the person you picked.

How it works

From brief to sent in one afternoon

No kickoff call, no onboarding deck.

1

Write the brief

What happened, the one number that proves it, and a quote you are willing to see printed. Five lines is enough.
2

Generate the drafts

Release, two pitch angles and a follow-up. Keep the version that answers why this matters this week.
3

Check the facts and the voice

Verify every figure and delete any phrase you would never say out loud. This is the step that protects your name.
4

Match and send

Pick journalists who cover your space, personalize the first line, send, and track replies in one place.

The other side of the inbox

What the reporter actually sees

A reporter opens dozens of pitches a day and decides in seconds. The reasons for deleting are blunt: off my beat, too promotional, looks like a mass email. With 82% of journalists using AI themselves, they also spot boilerplate faster than before. Your draft has to read like a person who did their homework wrote it.

FAQ

Questions founders ask first

What is an AI content generator for founders?

It is software that drafts text from a short brief: a press release, a pitch email, a bio, a LinkedIn post. For PR the useful version takes your facts, your number and your quote, and returns a draft that sounds like you instead of a template. You still decide what is news.

Can an AI content generator write a press release?

Yes, and it is one of the better uses. Give it the announcement, one hard number and a real quote, then edit for ten minutes. It cannot invent the number or tell you whether the story is worth a journalist's time. That part stays with you.

Will journalists notice AI-written content?

They notice a bad pitch, whoever wrote it. Muck Rack's 2026 survey found 88% of journalists disregard pitches that miss their beat. Generic copy sent to the wrong person is the failure, not the tool. Name the beat, lead with the news and edit every draft.

Is a general AI content generator enough for PR?

For first drafts, often yes. What it lacks is the rest of the job: who to send it to, which angle fits which reporter, and who replied. A general tool gives you words. A PR workflow gives you words, targets and a follow-up list.

How much does an AI content generator cost?

General-purpose generators typically price per seat per month, and many have a free tier with limits. Prices change often, so check the vendor's current page. Compare the monthly bill with the $10,000 or more a month a mid-market PR agency can charge, then count the hours you still spend editing.

What should I never generate with AI for PR?

Quotes you did not say, statistics you cannot source, and claims about customers or funding that are not true. Journalists check. One invented figure costs you a reporter for good. Generate structure and phrasing, and supply every fact yourself.

How long does it take to go from brief to sent pitch?

Drafting takes minutes. Gathering the facts is the real work: the number, the quote and the reason it matters this week. With those ready, a first batch can go out the same afternoon.
