Notified AI Press Release Optimizer helps communications teams refine press release drafts before distribution, with guidance for AI visibility and journalist pickup. It sits inside Notified’s Content OS drafting, review and distribution workflow. Authors can accept, edit or ignore explainable recommendations covering structure, originality, authority, terminology, keywords, quotations, citations and statistics, based on Notified’s SOAR Content Framework. The tool can export a wire-ready version or a Track Changes Word file containing the AI rationale. It accepts .docx files longer than 200 words, does not analyze tables and supports English, French and German. Notified says submitted content stays within its platform, is not shared externally or used to train public AI models, and remains under customer control.
