Introducing Featured AI – Built for Experts, Powered by You
At Featured, we believe nothing can replace the value of human experience.
That’s why our newest tool, Featured AI, is designed to work alongside you — never in place of you. Featured AI helps you save time by finding the right opportunities and drafting starting points for your responses, while keeping you in complete control of what gets sent to publishers and journalists.
Why We Built Featured AI
The biggest challenge our experts face in sharing knowledge is time.
- Time to identify relevant questions.
- Time to draft thoughtful responses.
- Time to stay consistent in contributing.
Featured AI helps experts save time by offering a first draft — sparking ideas so you can add the insights only you can provide.
How Featured AI Works
Once activated, Featured AI will:
- Find questions that match your expertise — so you can spend less time searching and more time contributing.
- Draft answers using your own past work — pulling from your knowledge base, previous answers, and uploaded content to give you a head start.
- Deliver up to three daily editions (Morning, Afternoon, Evening) via email with drafts ready for you to review.
- Keep you in control — you decide whether to approve, edit, or decline any draft before it’s sent. Nothing is ever auto-submitted, so your final response always reflects you and your insights.
Featured AI identifies opportunities and drafts suggested answers, giving experts the opportunity to make edits and submit.
Experts then edit their answer before submission.
Transparency for Publishers
We’ve built safeguards to ensure the content on Featured remains authentic, trustworthy, and valuable for publishers and journalists.
- Publisher visibility — Every answer on Featured is scanned by Pangram AI’s detection tool, giving publishers a clear AI-likelihood score for each submission.
- Publisher control — When requesting quotes, publishers can choose to automatically filter out AI-assisted responses.
- Ethics-first defaults — If an expert approves an AI draft without making edits, it’s marked as AI-generated. We encourage experts to add their own experiences, examples, and perspectives so responses go beyond the baseline and truly reflect their expertise.
Publishers and journalists can select “No AI responses” when submitting requests to automatically skip AI-generated submissions. Publishers and journalists can still view these responses, if needed.
Publishers and journalists can AI-detection scores on Featured, powered by Pangram.
Featured AI Is Included — and Always Optional
Featured AI is included in all Pro and Business plans at no extra cost, giving experts even more value from their subscription.
We understand AI isn’t for everyone, which is why using Featured AI is entirely your choice. If you’d rather not receive AI-generated drafts, you can turn it off anytime.
To turn off Featured AI, just go to Featured AI Preferences and toggle Featured AI to “Off.”

Our Commitment to Responsible AI
We built Featured AI with safeguards to protect quality, trust, and the integrity of expert contributions.
- Human approval is always required before a quote is sent.
- AI drafts use only your content and expertise — never fabricated experiences.
- Publishers have full transparency — they can see and filter out AI-assisted responses.
- Profile verification stays in place — all contributors are vetted, and publishers can report or block experts if needed.
Featured AI is here to help you share more of your expertise, not to replace it. By keeping humans in control and maintaining transparency with publishers, we’re ensuring that quality, authenticity, and trust come first.
FAQs
How does Featured ensure journalists and publishers still get high-quality, authentic quotes?
The goal of Featured AI isn’t to flood journalists and publishers with generic “AI slop” — it’s to help experts who already have valuable experience answer your questions faster and more efficiently. Here’s what we’ve put in place to protect quality and transparency for publishers:
- AI answers are never sent blindly. Every AI answer is drafted based on the expert’s own curated knowledge base and past answers. Experts review, edit, and approve before submitting.
- Built-in AI detection. Every answer is scanned using Pangram AI’s detection tool, and we display the AI-likelihood score to you.
- Full control for publishers. When submitting a quote request, you can check the “No AI Responses” box to automatically skip high-likelihood AI responses entirely. Even if you don’t use the filter, you can see the scores and skip anything that doesn’t meet your standards.
- Expert vetting remains unchanged. Profile verification checks are still in place to confirm an expert’s identity and background. Publishers can also report or block experts at any time to ensure they only receive quotes from trusted sources.
In short: Featured AI is here to save experts time, not lower your standards. You’ll still have complete visibility and control, with tools designed to make sure you get authentic, high-quality quotes you can trust.
Will my Featured AI response be marked as AI-written?
Featured runs every response through Pangram, an AI detection tool. Journalists and publishers can see the AI-likeness score for each submission.
If you accept a Featured AI response without editing it, it will likely be marked as 100% AI-generated, since it was created by Featured AI.
To reduce the AI score, we recommend personalizing the suggested answer by adding your own insights or edits before approving it.
How does Featured AI create my answers?
Featured AI uses your previous answers and your knowledge base to generate responses that match your expertise. It’s designed to sound like you — based on what you’ve already shared.
While the AI avoids fabricating experiences or statistics, it may occasionally suggest inaccurate information. Please review and edit your answers before submitting, and report any major inaccuracies to our team.
How often will I be emailed with a Featured AI opportunity?
Featured AI works around the clock as your personal PR agent — monitoring every media opportunity in real time.
When there’s a match for your expertise, you’ll get up to three daily emails with ready-to-review drafts:
Morning Edition — 5:30 AM ET
Afternoon Edition — 12:30 PM ET
Evening Edition — 5:30 PM ET
You’re only notified when there’s an opportunity worth your time.
Are Featured AI responses guaranteed to be published?
No — like all insights submitted on Featured, publication is not guaranteed.
Featured AI helps you save time by drafting high-quality responses based on your experience, which can increase your chances of being selected by journalists and publishers.
