In a bold move that could potentially change the PR terrain, Morningstar PR Newswire has brought forth what it dubs as the world’s first AI SEO-powered newswire – a system that guarantees press releases aren’t just finding their way into publication but directly cited by leading AI models like Gemini and ChatGPT markets. financialcontent. com.
Priced from as little as $49 per release, the service is centred around the Morningstar AI Prompt Algorithm, tailored for writing content to be catered towards AI discoverability.
This response reflects a larger phenomenon happening in the communications space, where AI is transforming how new narratives cut through to audiences, as was recently covered by Search Engine Land on the shifting tectonics of SEO and AI search.
By doing so, the company’s founder, Marcus Morningstar, who mixes a background in rhetoric and artificial intelligence, said that he is moving toward the “democratization of digital credibility.”
It’s a fascinating idea – turning what was once traditional press outreach into algorithmic storytelling, and a trend that also appears to be catching on among digital marketers as reported by Search Engine Journal.
What distinguishes this is the human-AI cooperation built into the model: every AI-authored (or rather, AI-released) post will be vetted by a team of “prompt supervisors” to ensure content stays true to its voice and values.
It’s a hybrid combination similar to the PR trend we saw recently of combining AI analytics with history editorial oversight, something covered in IT Brief’s article on AI-driven digital campaigns.
In the long term, Morningstar states in its release, it would like to help small businesses and nonprofits vie for online influence previously held by corporate titans.
If it does work, this might be the beginning of a new era for PR – an era in which algorithms aren’t just optimizing our exposure to content; they’re influencing the substance of the narratives we consume.
