A HARO AI responder for source-request emails.
HARO is back under Featured.com. PitchBud helps you process HARO, Featured, Qwoted, Help a B2B Writer, SourceBottle, and Press Hunt digests without manually reading every query.
Forward digests, surface matches, draft responses
PitchBud does not subscribe to digests for you. You forward your source-request emails to your private PitchBud address, and the AI does the triage.
- Private forwarding address
- Manual paste option
- Fit scoring against your expertise
- Drafted responses from your own inbox
A complete path from announcement to outreach.
The release page is the source of truth. The outreach is what gives a journalist a reason to care.
Bring your digests
Forward or paste the source-request emails you already receive.
Score for fit
PitchBud compares each query to your expertise profile.
Draft the response
Strong matches get a concise draft you can edit before sending.
Wire syndication is not the same thing as coverage.
Most paid-wire reports count automated mirrors as success. PitchBud treats the release as the starting point, then helps you reach writers, newsletters, podcasts, blogs, and source-opportunity digests where coverage can actually happen.
Set your expertise profile
Tell PitchBud what you can credibly comment on.
Forward the digest
Use the private opps+ address or paste manually.
Review and send
Open the response in your email client and send it yourself.
What you get instead of a wire receipt.
PitchBud is built for founders, authors, creators, agencies, and small teams who need a credible announcement page and a smarter way to pitch the right humans.

Quick answers before you distribute a release.
Does PitchBud send me HARO emails?
No. You subscribe to HARO/Featured or other source-request services, then forward those digests to PitchBud.
Does PitchBud auto-send responses?
No. It drafts responses; you review and send from your own inbox.
Is HARO still active?
