AI Tool for Booking Interviews
Let your AI agent handle expert outreach and interview coordination, so you never miss a deadline or lose a story to slow scheduling.
You’re juggling endless email threads, Google Calendar invites, and LinkedIn searches just to line up a single interview. As a reporter or editor, you waste hours each week switching between Outlook, Excel, and your phone—while the clock ticks on your scoop. Every delay means risking your exclusive angle to a faster competitor.
An AI agent that finds expert sources, drafts outreach, and schedules interviews so journalists can secure quotes and insights faster.

The hidden cost
What this is really costing you
In the fast-paced world of digital newsrooms, journalists and assignment editors spend 1.5–2 hours weekly hunting for expert contacts, drafting outreach in Gmail, and coordinating interviews using Google Calendar. These manual steps slow down reporting, especially when covering breaking news or in-depth features. Missed connections and scheduling conflicts can cost you key quotes or even the entire story.
