Example Prompts
Press release
Write a press release announcing the Series A funding of a B2B SaaS company called "FlowDesk" that raised £4.2M to expand their workflow automation platform. Include: headline, dateline, intro paragraph with key facts, CEO quote (Sarah Chen), about the company boilerplate, and media contact info.
Journalist pitch email
Write a concise pitch email to a tech journalist at TechCrunch. The story: a solo founder built an AI tool that helps non-profits manage volunteer coordination — 200 orgs signed up in 3 months with no marketing budget. Keep the email under 150 words.
Crisis holding statement
Write a crisis holding statement for a food delivery company responding to a data breach affecting 50,000 customer email addresses. The breach was discovered 24 hours ago and is now contained. Tone: transparent, responsible, and reassuring.
Getting Started
Start with press release drafts — AI can produce a strong first structure in seconds, leaving you to add quotes and fine-tune the angle. Then use it for pitch emails where volume and speed matter.
