Negligible commercial impact. Saves time at the margins but won't move the needle on revenue or profit.

Feasibility
5

Very easy to implement. Ready-to-use tools exist. Can be up and running in days or weeks with minimal technical resource.

Data Readiness
5

Minimal data complexity. Works with whatever is readily to hand. No special data infrastructure needed. Most businesses can start immediately.

Risk Exposure
4

Low risk. Limited external exposure. A human reviews output before it reaches anyone outside the team.

Change Complexity
5

Very easy to absorb. Runs quietly in the background or gives people a helpful new input. Makes everyday work easier with almost no friction.

Things to consider

  • Press releases follow a well-defined format (headline, dateline, lead paragraph, body, boilerplate, contact). This structure makes them ideal for AI generation, but the key messages and angle still need to be human-directed.

  • Legal and compliance review remains necessary before distribution for any claim-bearing content (product performance, financial results, safety statements).

  • Quotes attributed to executives must be drafted and approved by the executive — the AI can propose a quote, but it cannot be published without explicit sign-off.

  • The quality of the angle — what is genuinely newsworthy about this? — is the PR professional's job. An AI will produce a well-formatted press release regardless of whether the story is actually interesting. That judgment stays human.

  • Experiment starter: For the next three press releases, have the AI produce a first draft from a structured brief (who, what, why it matters, key message, required quote). Track how long the PR manager spends editing each and whether the final release differs substantially from the AI draft. If editing takes less than 20 minutes per release, formalise the workflow.
