Newsjack: AI public relations team. Turns your coding assistant into a public relations expert.

In simple English

This tool gives your artificial intelligence assistant a set of instructions for public relations work. It helps you find breaking news stories, write pitches, check facts, and plan what to say. You can use it to manage press coverage without hiring an expensive agency. It is free and open source, but some advanced features require an external connection.

What it is

A collection of plain Markdown instructions and a small command-line helper that teaches coding assistants how to handle public relations tasks. It includes specific commands for finding news, drafting comments, checking journalist fit, and analyzing AI search visibility.

What it is good for

Solo founders and small business marketers who need public relations help but cannot afford a traditional agency retainer.
