Using the AI Agent

HeyJared's AI Agent lets you search reporters, build press lists, and draft pitches using natural language. Just describe what you need.

How It Works

The AI Agent understands plain English. Instead of clicking through filters and forms, you simply describe what you're looking for:

"I'm launching an AI code review tool and just raised a $5M seed round. Help me build a press list."

The agent will ask clarifying questions if needed, then return relevant reporters, outlets, and a tiered media strategy.

Example Queries

"Find AI reporters at TechCrunch"

Search by topic and outlet

"Build a press list for my fintech startup's Series A"

Get tiered media strategy

"Draft a pitch to Sarah Perez about our launch"

AI-written personalized pitch

"Who covered OpenAI's last funding round?"

Research competitor coverage

Tips for Better Results

  • Be specific: "AI healthcare startup" gets better results than "my company"
  • Include context: Mention your industry, announcement type, or target outlets
  • Answer clarifying questions: The agent asks for context to give better results
  • Iterate: Follow up with "show me more" or "focus on Tier 1 outlets"
