Find & pitch the right journalists in minutes, not days
Paste a press release, a website, or a topic. Our AI agents read thousands of articles relevant to your story, find and score reporters by fit, and tell you why each one would write it and how to reach them.
"My new favorite PR intern. With a few detailed prompts, the agent comes up with a pretty targeted list of journalists. The best thing is it gives a summary of their recent articles before I commit to reading every piece."
"Medialyst takes the guesswork out of journalist outreach. It vets your pitch for suitability, matches it to the right journalists, and hands you their most accurate contact details — so instead of firing off cold emails into the void, you're landing in the right inboxes. The result? Fewer emails sent, more stories published."
"Medialyst is the only tool that keeps up with the pace our firm needs to move at across our High Growth B2B Tech clients. The journalist targeting is sharp as well as accurate, and Elvis actually ships when you give him feedback."
"This is a must-have if you work in media, it's easy to use and saves you a lot of time!"

Questions, answered.
That's why we built it differently. Most legacy tools maintain a static database that gets refreshed on a quarterly cycle by armies of researchers — by the time you see a profile, the journalist may have already changed beats or left the outlet entirely.
We don't keep a stale database. When you search, our agent goes and reads articles from the past few weeks, pulls the journalists who actually wrote them, and verifies the contact info live. No quarterly refresh. No retired reporters. No "this email used to work."
How Medialyst compares.
Static databases, demo-gated contracts, and generic AI pitch tools all miss the same thing: reporter fit for this story right now.
vs. the alternatives
Why I built Medialyst
Good ideas die in silence every day because the people who have them can't afford to be heard. The PR infrastructure is broken — big incumbents charge $10k+/year just to access a journalist database. Funded startups get coverage. Everyone else stays invisible.
Meanwhile, journalists get 300+ pitches a day. Most of it is spam. They ignore everything — so PR people blast even more. It's an arms race to the bottom and everyone loses. The AI tools that exist? Built to spam harder. Nobody stopped to ask if that was the problem in the first place.
Medialyst points AI in the opposite direction. Not "send more pitches faster" — but "find the 10 journalists who'd actually care." If your story is worth telling, it's worth telling to the right people. I'm tearing down the paywall between good ideas and the press they deserve.
Try it now. In eight minutes you'll have ten reporters worth pitching.
