What you can do with it

  • Monitor news in your field and find stories your company has standing to comment on
  • Draft angles, headlines and pitches, then check them with a fact-check and a tough editor review
  • Build a media list, track press coverage and turn clippings into branded PDFs or a highlight reel

Could replace

  • Google Alerts

Our suggestion based on what it does, not a feature-by-feature comparison.

Make money with it

A freelancer could sell monthly PR monitoring and pitch-drafting packages to small companies, using the skills to do most of the groundwork.

An idea, not financial advice. Check the licence before charging for anything built on it.

Ways a business could use it

  • Run your own PR in-house instead of paying an agency retainer, including reactive comments on breaking news
  • Offer a lower-cost PR monitoring and pitching service to several small clients using one agent setup

Can you use it commercially?

Free to use, change and sell, including in paid products. Keep the copyright notice.

Not legal advice. Read the project's licence file before building a product on it.

Getting it running

Install with a one-line curl script that adds the skills to an agent such as Claude Code, Codex, Hermes or OpenClaw, then set up a monitoring profile.

Follow the official instructions in the project README.

Things to check

  • Needs an AI agent with its own model access, which usually costs money
  • Some skills need a live news index or journalist data services that may be paid or third-party
  • Some skills work only in a local agent
  • Mass pitching to journalists risks spam complaints, so outputs need human review
