The problem
Doing this by hand doesn’t scale
Qwoted surfaces a steady stream of source requests by email, but acting on them by hand means reading every alert the moment it lands, judging which match your expertise, and writing a tailored pitch before the request closes. The good ones slip by simply because you were not at your inbox in time.
How the AI does it
How the AI works your Qwoted alerts
Read your Qwoted alert emails
Connect the inbox that receives your Qwoted request alerts; the AI monitors that inbox and parses each alert email as it arrives.
It reads the alert emails in your own inbox - nothing more.
Match the request to your expertise
It compares each parsed request against the topics and angles you can speak to and flags the genuine fits.
You define which topics you want matched.
Draft a pitch to submit
For each fit, it drafts a tailored pitch waiting for you, and you submit it on Qwoted in one click.
Submitting is always your click on Qwoted - we never send a pitch for you.
What gets measured
The proof is being built
We’re onboarding our first customers now - here’s how the engine works in the meantime.
See how the autopilot loop qualifies prospects and protects your domain, and the trust signals it runs on.
The mechanism is simple and bounded: it monitors your own inbox for Qwoted alert emails and drafts pitches from them. It is not a Qwoted partnership or a built-in data tie-in, and it drives no browser on your behalf - it works from the alert emails you already receive. We describe the mechanism, not any volume of results.

Background
Qwoted: the terms and the alternatives
Plain definitions of the vocabulary this play uses, straight from the link building glossary, plus how the autopilot model compares with the outreach tools you may already run.
Definition
Qwoted
Qwoted is a platform where journalists post source requests and experts pitch themselves as sources, typically earning a quote and an attributed link if selected. It is one of the services that carries the model HARO popularized.
Definition
HARO (Help a Reporter Out)
HARO (Help a Reporter Out) was a service that emailed journalists' source requests to subscribers, who pitched themselves as expert sources in exchange for a quote and usually a link. Its owner Cision rebranded it as Connectively and then shut that service down, so the original HARO workflow no longer exists.
Definition
Digital PR
Digital PR is public relations run with search visibility as an explicit goal: earning coverage, citations, and links in online publications rather than pursuing print or broadcast placement for brand awareness alone.
Definition
Editorial link
An editorial link is a link someone chose to add because it was useful to their reader, with nothing given in exchange. It is the category of link search engines are trying to reward.
Definition
Email deliverability
Email deliverability is whether the messages you send actually reach the recipient's inbox rather than their spam folder or nowhere at all. For link-building outreach it is the constraint that decides whether any of the work is seen.
