AI-Powered PR Automation: How to Generate Press Releases in 60 Seconds
Editor's note (July 2026): this article describes Pressonify's 2025 platform, which then included journalist and investor outreach with contact databases. Those contact-database features were retired in July 2026 for GDPR compliance. Pressonify is now citation-first: it publishes AI-optimized press releases engineered to be discovered and cited by AI engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews), rather than pitching journalists or investors directly. Current pricing: €49.95 per release, €9.95 for your first release (code LAUNCH995), pay-per-release with no subscriptions. See current pricing.
Writing a professional press release used to take 4-6 hours. First draft, revisions, SEO optimization, legal review, final edits—the process was time-consuming and expensive.
Not anymore.
At Pressonify.ai, our AI system generates publication-ready press releases in 60 seconds. Here's how it works, and why this changes everything for startups and SMBs.
The Traditional PR Workflow (And Why It's Broken)
Manual Process: 4-6 Hours
- Research & Planning (30-60 minutes)
- Understand the announcement
- Research target audience
-
Identify key messages
-
First Draft (1-2 hours)
- Write headline and subhead
- Draft body content
-
Add quotes and boilerplate
-
Revisions (1-2 hours)
- Internal reviews
- Legal compliance checks
-
Fact verification
-
SEO Optimization (30-60 minutes)
- Meta descriptions
- Title tags
-
Structured data
-
Final Editing (30-60 minutes)
- Proofread
- Format
- Final approval
Total Time: 4-6 hours
Total Cost: €400-€800 (freelance writer) or €2,000-€5,000 (PR agency)
The Problem
For startups and SMBs:
- Too expensive: €400-€5,000 per release is unsustainable
- Too slow: 4-6 hours means delayed announcements
- Inconsistent quality: Depends on writer availability and skill
- No scale: Can't publish frequently enough to maintain visibility
