Add company name, website and press contact. The AI uses these to build an accurate boilerplate and contact block.
GPT-4o produces a full press release (headline, dateline, lead, body, quotes, boilerplate, contact) in around 20 seconds.
A press release is a formal, written statement sent to journalists and media outlets to announce something newsworthy about a company or organization. It follows a standardized format so reporters can quickly evaluate the story and, if relevant, run it with minimal rewriting.
In 2026, press releases still drive a large share of B2B earned media, especially for funding announcements, product launches, acquisitions, partnerships and senior hires. What has changed is distribution: mass wire services were penalized by Google in September 2023, so the best strategy now is targeted distribution to relevant journalists, paired with an owned newsroom and a GEO-ready structure that helps AI assistants cite your news.
The generator handles the format. Your job is to give it the raw material that makes the story worth covering. Strong press releases share five traits.
Three short extracts showing the format the generator produces. The companies are fictional and the brackets mark facts the AI will not invent: you fill them in before sending.

You can write a press release with a general chatbot, and many people do. The difference is in what you have to supply and check yourself.
| This generator | A ChatGPT prompt | |
|---|---|---|
| Format | Headline, dateline, lead, body, quote, boilerplate and contact block every time | Depends on how detailed your prompt is |
| Invented facts | Missing numbers, names and dates become [brackets] you fill in | Often fills gaps with plausible but made-up figures and quotes |
| Company context | Reads your website to write an accurate boilerplate | Only what you paste in |
| Next step | Send it to journalists you pick, from the same place | Copy, paste and find the journalists yourself |
Our guide on how to write a press release with AI covers prompts, review steps and the edits that make an AI draft read like a human one.
A release only works once the right reporters read it. Below the generated text, the "Send this press release" button loads it into a free PressPilot account, where you pick journalists from the journalist database by country and topic, send it and see who opens and clicks. The steps are explained on how to send a press release to journalists.
The free tool above writes the release. Getting it in front of journalists is a separate step. Here is what the free generator covers and where the full PressPilot product takes over.
