What should stay human (No Tedi & No Tools)
These are the parts where human judgment still matters a lot.1. Final campaign strategy choice
Tedi can suggest angles, but a human should decide:- which angle is best for the client
- which angle matches the brand and business goals
- whether the idea is actually strong enough for media
2. Final approval of media targets
Tedi can rank outlets, but a PR person should confirm:- is this truly the right medium?
- is this outlet too low quality?
- is this outlet too commercial?
- is this the right audience?
- is this outlet suitable for the client brand?
3. Final approval of the contact person
This is the most important human checkpoint. The system & Tedi can suggest a journalist/editor, but a human should confirm:- is this really the correct person?
- is the contact appropriate for this topic?
- is the person too senior / too junior?
- is there a better relationship-based contact already known?
4. Relationship-sensitive decisions
Humans should handle:- “we already contacted this person recently”
- “this journalist hates generic pitches”
- “we have a good relationship with this editor”
- “do not contact this person again”
- “use LinkedIn instead of email here”
5. Final approval of the outreach message
Tedi can draft very strong emails, but a human should approve:- tone
- overclaiming
- risky wording
- factual correctness
- whether it sounds too generic
- whether it fits the client brand
6. Anything reputationally risky
Humans should decide when:- topic is controversial
- data claims are sensitive
- the client is in legal/medical/financial fields
- the message could damage brand trust
- the journalist fit is uncertain
7. Final send
You already said media contact should stay outside the tool. I agree. At least for a long time, final sending should stay human-controlled.What is “automate with human approval”
Good examples
Tedi does the work, the employee just approves or edits:- topic shortlist
- media shortlist
- contact shortlist
- CRM creation suggestion (Productive could be integrated if necessary)
- draft email
- LinkedIn draft
- tag/list assignment
Fully automated
Tedi will do the following steps without human review:- client site deep analysis & understanding
- summarize client
- classify project type
- generate topic options
- generate study options
- find media candidates
- collect article examples
- find author pages
- prepare contact candidates
- search for matches
- deduplicate (similar to Prowly)
- generate pitch drafts
- generate notes and evidence
- export review package
Human approval required
- choose final campaign angle
- choose final media list
- choose final contact
- approve CRM creation if low confidence
- approve outreach copy
- approve any risky claims
- approve final send
Human only
- relationship management
- strategic exceptions
- escalation decisions
- final contact/send
- handling unusual or sensitive campaigns

Digital PR work can be automated heavily with Tedi, but not all parts should be. The sweet spot is: 90% machine-tedi-driven preparation, 10% human judgment at critical checkpoints That gives you:- huge time savings
- better consistency
- fewer manual steps
- but still quality control where it matters most
