One-click AI pitch drafts for HARO and journalist requests

An unmaintained Chrome extension from 2023 that generates HARO pitches using outdated ChatGPT integrations.
This is our editors' assessment out of 5, not an average of user ratings. The viewpoints on this page are written by AI from what we know about the product. They are not customer reviews.

Dead extension, doesn't even connect anymore.
Last updated in 2023 and completely broken with current OpenAI API changes.
Waste of time.
Tried using it for HARO queries last week and nothing happens when you right click. Trash.
AI-synthesized perspectives grounded in live site inspection, pricing structure, and category benchmarks — presented as editorial viewpoints rather than individual customer testimonials.
Highlight the request text in your inbox, choose 'Create HARO Pitch' from the context menu, and the draft appears without leaving the page.
The AI returns several distinct versions of the pitch at once, so you can compare angles and pick the one that suits the journalist's beat.
No new dashboard to learn. The extension hooks into Chrome and operates on the email you are already reading.
Drafts are produced through ChatGPT, giving you natural-sounding prose that you can then personalise with your own credentials and quotes.
A small extension from WebProTools with no account requirements and a stated policy of not collecting or selling user data.
HARO Helper takes a very small, very specific workflow and removes the hardest part of it: the blank page. Journalist-request newsletters such as HARO arrive as dense daily digests, and the people answering them often need to produce a short, quotable, personalised email in a hurry. The extension sits inside Chrome, watches for your highlight, and adds a 'Create HARO Pitch' item to the right-click menu so the pitch generation happens right where the request lives.
Rather than returning a single answer, HARO Helper asks the model for several distinct versions of the pitch in one pass. That matters for press outreach, because tone is a gamble: one angle may read as too salesy to a reporter while another reads as genuinely useful. Having four drafts side by side lets you pick the framing that fits the publication, then spend your time on the details that actually move reply rates, such as credentials, data points and a clean quotable line.
It is a lightweight utility rather than a full media-relations platform. There is no contact database, no outreach sequencing and no reply analytics here. It is published by WebProTools, installs from the Chrome Web Store, and stays free, which makes it a low-risk addition for anyone already doing manual HARO pitching.
When a journalist's request closes in a few hours, generate four candidate pitches immediately and shape the strongest one around your client's specific expertise.
Founders who answer queries themselves can skip the blank-page problem and produce a polished, quotable response in minutes instead of half an hour.
Teams that use journalist requests as a link-building channel can lift the volume of personalised pitches they send per day without hiring more writers.
Use the multiple generated versions as a cheap A/B set, then note which framing tends to draw replies from reporters in your niche.
