About AI Press Release Generator
AI Press Release Generator writes a press release in standard AP format — headline, dateline, lede, supporting paragraphs, boilerplate, and contact block. Use it for product launches, funding announcements, executive hires, partnerships, and milestones you want journalists to actually open.
Who this tool is for
- Startup founders announcing a funding round, product launch, or pivot
- PR managers at small companies without a dedicated newsroom team
- Marketing directors announcing partnerships, awards, or executive appointments
- Non-profit communicators announcing campaigns, grants, or program launches
- Agency account managers drafting releases for multiple client brands
Real use cases
- Announce a $5M Series A round with investor quotes and use of funds
- Launch a new product with feature highlights, pricing, and customer quote
- Announce a C-suite hire with background, mandate, and CEO quote
- Publicize an industry award win or analyst recognition
- Cover a partnership or integration announcement with quotes from both companies
How to use AI Press Release Generator
- State the news in one sentence — the kind a reporter would copy into their lede
- Provide the 5 Ws: who, what, when, where, why — and "so what" for the industry
- Include 1–2 direct quotes with the speaker's full name and title
- Add boilerplate: company description, founding year, headquarters, and notable customers or stats
- List media contact name, email, and phone — the most-skipped detail that kills coverage chances
Tips for better results
- Journalists scan, they do not read — the first 50 words must contain the news or they move on
- Embargo policies matter: if you share early, mark "EMBARGOED UNTIL [date/time]" at the top and email reporters directly
- Distribute through a wire service (PR Newswire, Business Wire) only when you need SEO juice; for actual coverage, pitch reporters personally
- Always include high-res images, logos, and headshots in a press kit linked from the release
Frequently asked questions
Will journalists actually use this if it sounds AI-written?
Journalists publish hundreds of releases verbatim every day, and they care more about whether the news is real than how the words were drafted. Edit for your voice and add a strong human quote.
What length should a press release be?
Aim for 400–600 words on one page. Anything longer and reporters skip the bottom. Anything shorter and you have not given them enough to write from.
Do I need a wire service or can I just email it?
Direct email to relevant reporters has a much higher coverage rate than wire distribution. Use wires when you need a Google-indexable URL or to satisfy investor announcement requirements.
When should I send a press release?
Tuesday through Thursday mornings (9–11 AM in the reporter's timezone). Avoid Mondays (inbox overload) and Fridays after noon (weekend mode).
