Public relations is a writing-intensive profession under constant volume pressure: pitches, press releases, talking points, crisis statements, media briefings, and the ongoing content that keeps a brand visible. AI compresses all of it, letting PR professionals spend more time on the relationships and strategy that earn coverage.
PR agencies and communications teams using Claude recover 6 to 10 hours per week per professional on writing and research tasks. Press releases take 20 minutes instead of 2 hours.

Reply rates improve because the pitches are actually relevant.
