People-powered intelligence

The speed of AI. The judgment of experts.

Everyone else uses a computer to guess what’s being said about their company. We have real people check the model's work and teach it about your brand specifically, so the answers are actually right. In fact, they get sharper with every interaction.

When every vendor, every competitor, and every in-house team can generate the same instant AI summary, the summary stops being worth anything. What's rare isn't AI. It's intelligence: knowing what the signals actually mean before everyone else does.

Real intelligence takes more than a model. It takes a human analyst who knows your business, validates what matters, and tells you what to do about it.

That is what PublicRelay builds. The world's most scrutinized companies, in energy, financial services, and healthcare, treat our reads as an extension of their own communications office.

“PublicRelay has become an indispensable part of our media intelligence workflow. What sets them apart is the human element. Their analysts bring genuine judgment to article tagging and media quality scoring that automated tools simply can't replicate.”

Gary Wahlquist

Manager of External Affairs Insights, Chick-fil-A

Outcomes built by people, accelerated by AI

What we can help you do

Unlike a model-only platform that hands you more work, every PublicRelay program is built around your organization and run by a human analyst who understands it. Below are four of our most popular programs.

We’re trusted by the world’s biggest brands

These teams don't love us because we send them a hundred articles a day. They love us because we send them the 7 most important articles, and we tell them why.

Our proprietary, human-built intelligence layer helps the world's largest brands thrive.

What you get

Your model-only tools function like WebMD. When you type in your symptoms, they review their database and generate the same answer for you that they would give everyone else. What you get with PublicRelay isn't just a database. It's a relationship. We operate like a doctor who has known you for fifteen years.

Inside our people-powered intelligence layer

How we do it

Every PublicRelay program delivers deep insights powered by a customized intelligence layer.Validated, custom data going in is why the methods are trustworthy. Trustworthy methods are why the analyses are defensible. Defensible analyses are why the outcomes hold up in a boardroom. Our competitors use off-the-shelf AI, and no human validation. Their answers are fast, but ours are right.

The living intelligence layer compounds over time. As more data is added, the system gets to know your business better, and the gap between what we see and what everyone else sees keeps widening. Here's how it comes together.

We believe human judgment makes AI unstoppable

Our company

Intelligence shouldn't just fill executive presentations. It can move industries, but only if it resonates. We are dedicated to that cause. PublicRelay is a global team of analysts, communicators, technologists, and strategists united by three simple beliefs.

  • The world doesn't need more information; it needs better understanding.

    That's why we work to help you make sense of it. Every program is backed by analysts who understand your industry. We're committed to building a world-class intelligence layer that helps communications leaders understand what matters and what to do next.

  • The best client experience isn’t just a feature.

    It's a feeling. We want our clients to know that whenever a challenge appears, they have a team of people who already care about solving it. There is always a human accountable for what we send you.

  • The future has a habit of arriving early.

    We spend our days looking for clues, testing ideas, and building new ways to help organizations navigate a world that keeps changing faster than most tools can keep up.

Human-verified intelligence is our passion

Our people

From Orange County to Washington DC, from West Palm Beach to Chicago, and from Ireland to India, our global team helps some of the world's most recognized organizations make sense of a noisy world. We combine human expertise and the power of AI to advance what matters.
