Features & benefits

Built for people who need to be quoted, fast

Everything between a journalist hitting “post” and you — or your client — being quoted, handled for you.

One unified feed
Bluesky, X, outlet callout feeds and direct journalist submissions merged into a single real-time stream. No more tab-hopping.
Spam removed before you see it
AI scoring strips self-promotion, lead-gen bait and low-effort filler, so what reaches you is a genuine request from a real journalist.
Tagged by niche and region
Every request is classified by category, UK / IE / EU region, expert type and deadline. Filter to exactly what you — or your clients — can answer.
Alerts where you already work
Match rules to your pitch profile, or to each client's, and get notified in seconds by email, Slack, Discord or webhook. Or take a daily digest at your hour.
Best opportunities first
My Feed ranks every request against your profile — or each client's — and shows the exact topics, regions and keywords behind the score. Your feedback makes it sharper over time.
Pitch tracking
Log every pitch against the request it answered and see which ones turned into coverage. Agencies get the hit rate to put in a client report.

How it works

From post to pitch in minutes

  1. 1

    We listen

    Our worker polls Bluesky, X and outlet feeds around the clock and accepts direct submissions from journalists.

  2. 2

    We filter & classify

    Claude scores each post for spam and tags it by category, region, expert type, urgency and deadline.

  3. 3

    The best matches rise

    Ranked requests land in My Feed, your inbox or Slack within moments, with clear reasons so you can decide and pitch fast.

For sole traders, startups and small businesses

You don't need an agency to be quoted. You need to see the request first.

Journalists ask for people like you every day — they just ask on Bluesky, X and outlet callout pages you never look at. Tell us what you can speak on once, and the ones that fit come to your inbox while the story is still open. A few sentences in reply is often all it takes.
