Graded with Google Gemini's free tier. Google may use what you paste to improve its models. Don't paste anything confidential.

Paste the journalist's request, or the address of the article you want to be added to. We use it to check that the pitch fits.

How this works

We run checks on the text ourselves: how long it is, how easy it is to read, how many links it has, whether it uses common spam phrases, and whether it ends with a clear ask. If you paste the journalist's request or the article, we also check that your pitch uses its terms.

The five ratings

A language model reads your pitch and rates it from 1 to 5 on relevance, specificity, value to the reader, credibility and the ask, with one sentence on each. That is an opinion, not a measurement, so read the notes and decide for yourself.

The score

The score is out of 100: 40 points from the checks we run on the text, 60 from the five ratings. A higher score means fewer things to fix. It doesn't promise a reply, a link or a placement.

What we do with your pitch

Your pitch goes to the model that grades it, and we keep the run so you can come back to it. Before revenue the model is Google Gemini on its free tier, which means Google may use what you paste to improve its models. Don't paste anything confidential.

The rewrite

The rewrite is a draft under 150 words. It is told not to invent results or qualifications, but check every claim before you send it. Verify your email to see it.
