We know how important it is to trust the sources you quote. That’s why HARO has partnered with Pangram, an industry-leading AI detection tool built by researchers from Stanford, Tesla, and Google.

This partnership gives you more control and confidence when reviewing pitches. Starting now, you can:

• Hide AI-generated responses. When submitting a query, just check “No AI responses” — and HARO will automatically filter out pitches flagged as likely AI-generated.
• See AI Likelihood Scores. Every response in your Journalist Dashboard now includes a score showing the likelihood it was AI-written. You can also choose to “Filter Out AI Responses” entirely with a single click.
• Operate with more trust. We’re actively banning AI abusers and spammy accounts — and this is just one more way we’re working to protect your time and improve pitch quality.

Journalists who put out a HARO query can receive a high quantity of submissions from sources, making it difficult to reply to everyone who submitted.

That’s why Help a Reporter Out just launched a new “quick response” feature to make replying to sources faster and easier.

From the Journalist Dashboard, journalists can now respond to sources with a single click—without revealing an email address to prevent unwanted follow ups.

We hope this Quick Response feature is helpful for journalists to reply to sources, and for sources to receive a status update on their pitch.

In addition, journalists can now bookmark their favorite sources for future stories. Try out these new features by submitting a query.
