1,000+ PR teams and founders use Medialyst
An engineer with 8 years working on AI systems at Google. A publicist who runs a PR agency serving 25+ clients. Medialyst is the tool they built together.
Legacy PR databases charge five-figure annual contracts for a stale spreadsheet. People who'd never pitched a journalist built vibe-coded spam cannons. Agencies that couldn't build software bolted prompts onto data they never verified and called it AI.
Every one of them was missing half the job. Medialyst has both halves in the room. Elvis is the founder, and he builds it to the standard he held at Google. Carly runs a PR agency and pitches journalists for a living. She isn't an advisor on a quarterly call — she judges what we build against the standard her own clients pay for. Features that don't survive that don't ship.
That's why there is no auto-send button. Good PR teams don't need it. Medialyst does the first 90% of the research, the boring and tedious part. A human does the last 10%, reads every pitch, and owns the send button.
The thesis behind the product is in the manifesto. The rules we won't break are in our ethics page. This page is just who we are.
Founder
Elvis spent 8 years at Google working on AI systems used by millions of people. He built PressPulse.ai — the first AI-powered HARO monitoring tool — to $161K in revenue. His open-source PR skill library, newsjack.sh, reached 3,300 PR teams in 148 countries in its first six weeks. He uses Medialyst to earn his own press, including quotes in Mashable and Fast Company.
Founding Strategic Advisor
Carly runs Notably, a multi-million-dollar boutique PR agency that has represented hundreds of clients across more than 10 industries. Her team has secured thousands of earned media placements, including coverage in The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, TechCrunch, Fast Company, The New York Times, and WIRED. Today she leads a team serving more than 25 clients, and she co-founded and sold the venture-backed consumer brand PrettyLitter.

"My new favorite PR intern. With a few detailed prompts, the agent comes up with a pretty targeted list of journalists. The best thing is it gives a summary of their recent articles before I commit to reading every piece."
Rita Liao · PR Consultant, ex-TechCrunchWe know this work is deeply human, and it should be. We're building AI that's on your side - the very first version of Medialyst rejects 71% of the pitches it reads as absolute garbage - before anyone sent them. You can find it at IsMyPitchShit.com. Our goal with AI is to cut the list down, so a PR person spends 30 minutes reading your work instead of 1 minute on you and 29 on people who were never a fit.
