Shipood Inc. (Head Office: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Representatives: Yoshio Funaki, Mayumi Funaki), which promotes PR DX, has launched a new plan "PRONE Spot" for its online public relations service "PRONE" (https://prone.jp/). This new plan allows for AI-driven automatic creation of press releases, as well as integrated management of media distribution and performance checks.

"PRONE Spot" is a pay-per-use plan designed for companies without dedicated PR staff or those who wish to utilize PR functions only for important announcements. Users input the content they wish to disseminate, and the AI automatically generates a press release draft. Subsequent distribution settings and post-distribution performance checks can then be managed through a dedicated workflow screen.

Previously, PRONE offered a monthly plan starting from ¥10,000 per month for companies engaged in continuous PR activities. The newly added "PRONE Spot" is available for ¥20,000 per use and includes AI-powered press release creation, distribution to approximately 240 media outlets, distribution to the company's own contact lists, and performance checks. Furthermore, the "PRONE Spot Pro" plan, priced at ¥70,000 per use, includes these features plus individual outreach proposals to two journalists identified by Shipood as likely to be interested in the content.

◆ Background for Offering Spot Usage Plans

Companies have news that deserves wider recognition, such as new product/service launches, case studies, event announcements, and hiring initiatives. However, many companies miss opportunities for information dissemination due to reasons like "not knowing what or how to communicate," "lacking time to write press releases," or "not having PR staff."

"PRONE Spot" is a pay-per-use plan that allows users to utilize AI-driven press release creation, distribution, and performance checks within a single workflow. By enabling usage only when needed, it provides an environment for companies, even those without PR staff, to deliver their news to media outlets nationwide.

◆ Pricing for Spot Usage Plans

- PRONE Spot: ¥20,000 per use This plan offers a one-stop solution for AI-generated press release drafts, distribution to approximately 240 media outlets, distribution to the company's own contact lists, information provision to about 1,000 journalists, and post-distribution performance checks. It allows for efficient dissemination of company news at necessary timings, such as for new product/service announcements, case studies, events, and hiring information.

- PRONE Spot Pro: ¥70,000 per use In addition to the features of "PRONE Spot," Shipood's PR staff will conduct individual outreach proposals to two journalists who are likely to be interested in the content. By combining mass distribution with individual approaches, this plan further enhances the possibility of securing interviews and media coverage.
