What is AI reading? Mostly, it turns out, it's the stuff you can't buy.

Natan Edelsburg of Muck Rack was in Austin last night with their Generative Pulse research. We discovered:

- 99% of AI citations come from non-paid media
- 84% come from earned media
- 2% — the overlap between who brands pitch and who AI actually cites

Thanks to Natan and to everyone who joined us!

A pitch used to have one reader. Now it has two: the journalist and whatever AI system summarizes the coverage afterward.

One week from today, Natan Edelsburg of Muck Rack brings the company’s research on what those systems actually read to Austin. What gets picked up, which journalists carry high AI visibility, and where to start on generative engine optimization without trying to fix everything at once.
