Generative Pulse is Here: At Last Brands Can Take Control of AI Narratives
Generative Pulse
, a groundbreaking new solution for shaping brand visibility in generative AI responses, is now available, providing brands with the insights and tools they need to understand and guide how they appear in AI answers. Developed by Muck Rack, the leader in PR software, Generative Pulse empowers communicators to identify the sources shaping AI responses, engage key voices, steer the narrative, and measure impact, all in one platform.
As tools like ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini increasingly become the first stop for information-seekers, how these AI models describe brands is transforming customer perception, purchase behavior and even reputation. Generative Pulse is the first PR-specific tool built to address this shift, revealing which journalists, outlets, and sources are driving how AI talks about a brand, and enabling communications teams to influence the conversation directly.
'Brands that aren't showing up in AI-generated answers aren't showing up at all,' said Greg Galant, cofounder and CEO of Muck Rack. 'This is a turning point for PR. With Generative Pulse, we're giving comms teams the insight and actionability they need to lead in the era of generative search.'
New Research: AI Trusts Earned Media
The launch follows the release of Muck Rack's new, benchmark-setting research report,
What Is AI Reading?
, which analyzed over 1 million links cited by AI platforms. The findings show that over 95% of links cited by AI are from non-paid media, and 89% are earned media. Journalistic content makes up 27% of all citations, rising to 49% for recent or time-sensitive queries.
High-authority outlets like
Reuters
,
Axios
,
Financial Times
and
AP
dominate citations, but industry-specific sources are frequently pulled depending on the query type and topic.
From Insight to Action: Inside Generative Pulse
Generative Pulse delivers a unique dashboard experience built around Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)—a new framework for AI-era brand visibility. Muck Rack users can input brand names, competitors and prompts, and get a full report including:
'No other platform connects insight to action like Generative Pulse,' added Galant. 'You're not just seeing who's influencing AI, you can actually reach them, influence the outcome and measure your impact all within the same workflow.'
Platform Integration and Availability
GEO functionality must be integrated into a complete PR workflow and earned media suite so teams can actively shape how LLMs respond; not just passively monitor the results. Muck Rack integrates these insights into its end-to-end PR workflow, enabling users to instantly pitch the most influential journalists, add top-cited outlets to media lists and analyze the news and social media for stories that will impact how they show up in LLM answers.
Generative Pulse is available now as part of Muck Rack Premier. It uses the same interface trusted by more than 5,000 companies globally and builds on Muck Rack's fully integrated platform for media relations, including its global media monitoring tools, industry-leading media database, and integrated pitching, press release and social listening tools.

We canceled our $4,000 pool service after trying this powerful robot pool cleaner
Our house came with a pool. While my three kids were ecstatic about this, I immediately felt overwhelmed at the thought of maintenance. My husband always had a pool growing up, but his parents usually took care of the labor. Because we knew nothing that first year with the pool, I hired a pool service to take care of the pool; from opening and closing to everything in between, I didn't have to do anything. While it was nice, the pool service was incredibly expensive. I knew there had to be a better way. Enter the Beatbot AquaSense 2 Ultra. This year, we opened the pool late, and in my rush, I yanked the cover off solo. Without my husband's help, I winced as sticks, pinecones and soggy leaves tumbled into the water. It was a mess. Thankfully, I had just received the Beatbot AquaSense 2 Ultra, the company's most advanced cordless robot. With our pool service on hold for another week, I figured this was the perfect moment to see what it could really do. We replaced our pricey pool service with the Beatbot AquaSense 2 Ultra. It cleaned better, ran longer and made maintenance totally hands-free. We have a backyard filled with trees and the robot easily picked up the numerous leaves in the pool. It was then we knew that this robot was a keeper, and after just two weeks with the AquaSense 2 Ultra, we canceled our service entirely (a savings of over $4,000!). With cordless AI pathfinding, surface parking and five-in-one cleaning, from the floor to floating debris, this sleek little robot quickly became our go-to for pool maintenance. It quietly handled the mess nature made. The AquaSense 2 Ultra handled nearly every aspect of maintenance, from floor cleaning to surface skimming to waterline scrubbing. It even uses an eco-friendly clarifying agent made from recycled crab shells to keep water crystal clear. Our pool looked professionally cleaned, and I didn't lift a finger (well, except to open the app). Easy set-up: The box was so big and the packaging was so overwhelming that I put off the set up. However, once I finally opened it, I was pleasantly surprised by just how quick it was to set up the app and get the machine running. Truly hands-free cleaning: The AquaSense 2 Ultra cleans floors, walls, the waterline and even the surface, all while filtering and clarifying the water with its built-in ClearWater™ system. It's basically five devices in one. Smart navigation + obstacle detectionEquipped with 27 onboard sensors and a HybridSense™ AI system, the robot maps your pool, avoids obstacles and adapts its path in real-time. Even with a bunch of my kids' diving toys scattered around, it powered through efficiently with minimal overlap or missed spots. User-friendly recovery: When complete or running on a low battery, it floats to the edge. This was a total game-changer because we our old vacuum, I always had to literally get in the pool to retrieve the robot if it wasn't near the side. Long runtime: With up to 10 hours of surface cleaning and 5 hours of deep cleaning on a single charge, the Ultra can tackle even large or debris-heavy pools. Works in above ground pool, too: I wasn't sure if the Ultra would work in an above ground pool and planned on reviewing it just for an in-ground pool, but it worked beautifully in an above ground pool, too! Our neighbors with a huge above-ground pool, were impressed when I let them use the bot. Water clarification built-in: One unexpected perk was how the water looked noticeably clearer. I'm talking sparkling. That's thanks to the robot's ability to circulate and clarify using a safe, biodegradable agent, something no vacuum we've used before could do. App control and voice alerts: The app lets you control direction, view cleaning routes, and schedule cleanings. And real-time voice updates tell you when the cleaning is done or the battery is low, great when I'm not poolside. App connectivity issues: Bluetooth and Wi‑Fi control can be flaky underwater. I lost connection several times and the inability to operate features like Park Mode once submerged was tricky. We are on an acre of land and the pool is way in the backyard, so that could be part of the issue. It's on the heavy side: Although I go to the gym and consider myself pretty strong, I can barely lift this machine. I have to ask my husband to take it out of the pool and walk it to the charger in the garage. Any time I do it myself, I have to use a hand truck. The Beatbot AquaSense 2 Ultra is best suited for pool owners who want near-total automation with minimal effort. It's an ideal choice for families with large, debris-heavy, or uniquely shaped pools, and for anyone tired of dealing with tangled cords, manual skimming or constant upkeep. If you're looking for crystal-clear water without the daily hassle, the Ultra delivers. For those who've dreamed of a truly hands-free pool maintenance routine, this robot absolutely lives up to the hype. Our pool has never looked better, and that includes the times when we had professionals servicing it weekly. The Beatbot AquaSense 2 Ultra has replaced nearly every step of maintenance with quiet, reliable automation. It's become one of those devices I now can't imagine summer without. When I empty the filter basket, I'm still amazed at what it captures: leaves, bugs, sunscreen residue, pine needles, all gone, with zero manual skimming. It is so satisfying. If you're serious about pool care but tired of recurring costs or daily upkeep, this robot is a game-changer. Yes, the upfront investment is steep, but when I compare it to a full season of service fees, the Ultra pays for itself fast.

Jim Cramer on ServiceNow: 'It's Wearing On Me'
ServiceNow, Inc. (NYSE:NOW) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer recently talked about. Highlighting that the company gave a 'fantastic guidance', a caller asked what Cramer thinks of the company. Here's what he had to say in response: 'Well, I think the multiple's a little high, and I'm starting to get away from that kind of enterprise software. It's beginning to make, it's beginning to wear on me. How about that? It's wearing on me.' Photo by jason briscoe on Unsplash ServiceNow (NYSE:NOW) provides a cloud-based platform for digital workflows, featuring AI-driven tools for automation, analytics, and application development. The company's products are used in operations across IT, customer service, HR, legal, and other enterprise functions. A caller inquired about the company during a June episode, and Cramer replied: 'Oh, oh yeah…. I bought it for the club. I gotta tell you… over and over again, I thought about it because it's such a good company. I know its earnings are, it looks like it's expensive stock, but in the Rule of 40, it's terrific. I gotta hand it to Bill McDermott. I am never going to say a bad word about ServiceNow. If you want to buy some, I am certainly going to green light that. By the way, can I just tell you, I looked at what they're doing and I say to myself, wow, they've really figured out AI. Where'd I get that from? Jensen Huang.' While we acknowledge the potential of NOW as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.

Jaguar CEO Adrian Mardell steps down after ‘woke' rebrand sparked massive social media firestorm
The Jaguar CEO is stepping down months after leading a controversial 'woke' rebrand campaign for the auto company. Jaguar Land Rover CEO Adrian Mardell is set to retire after three decades at the luxury car company and serving as CEO for three years, a spokesperson for the automaker announced on Thursday, Reuters reported. Advertisement The British car brand turned heads last year with its release of a new ad, which featured a reimagined logo under the slogan 'Copy Nothing.' The ad featured androgynous models in brightly colored, over-the-top outfits, including one man wearing a dress, along with other slogans such as 'create exuberant,' 'live vivid,' 'delete ordinary' and 'break moulds.' The ad did not feature a car throughout its entire 30-second run. The video blew up on social media, drawing tens of thousands of comments and nearly 47 million views in 24 hours.

Jaguar Shortly after the ad premiered, X users piled onto the company for releasing what they called a 'Bud Light 2.0' campaign by appearing to focus on wokeness and modernism over selling cars. 'This just made me want to sell my Jaguar and I don't even own a Jaguar,' conservative corporate activist Robby Starbuck joked. Advertisement Columnist Jon Gabriel wrote, 'This is so the wrong timing for this. I can understand the C-suite being conned into this in 2022, but you have completely misread the moment. Bud Light 2.0.' 4 The ad featured androgynous models in brightly colored, over-the-top outfits, including one man wearing a dress, along with other slogans such as 'create exuberant.' Jaguar 4 The ad did not feature a car throughout its entire 30-second run. Jaguar Advertisement Jaguar defended the ad in a statement to FOX Business at the time. 'Our brand relaunch for Jaguar is a bold and imaginative reinvention and, as expected, it has attracted attention and debate. As proud custodians at such a remarkable point in Jaguar's history, we have preserved iconic symbols while taking a dramatic leap forward. The brand reveal is only the first step in this exciting new era, and we look forward to sharing more on Jaguar's transformation in the coming days and weeks,' it said. Soon after, Jaguar took heat with the release of its new EV design that was called a 'pink Batmobile.' Jaguar did not immediately respond to FOX Business' request for comment.
