Signal is an active PR execution system designed to free founders and lean GTM teams from expensive, manual, and bloated enterprise software suites like Muck Rack. While legacy databases demand hours of searching, custom list curation, and five-figure annual contracts, Signal operates as a continuous, autonomous opportunity scanner. Leveraging Titan v2 vector embeddings and pgvector cosine similarity, Signal tracks news publications and digital media changes every 48 hours. When breaking news matches your knowledge base, the Newsjacking Agent suggests specific pitch drafts while breaking stories are fresh. Crucially, Signal automates Messaging Gap Analysis, identifying competitor coverage and narrative whitespace that manual teams miss. Through a non-custodial outbox bridge syncing directly to Instantly, Apollo, and HubSpot, founders maintain full review control while deploying high-context outreach on their verified email domains. Get full agency results with founder math: active PR automation `starting at $$99 a month`.
