Starseed(CEO Katie Bomi Son), the developer of ‘Pulitzer AI’— AI-based global PR automation SaaS & AI agent platform—announced today that it obtained two additional granted Korean patents for next-generation article generation technologies built on large language models (LLMs), expanding its total Pulitzer AI–related patent portfolio to five.

These newly granted patents strengthen Starseed’s full-stack IP foundation for culture-aware and platform-optimized global PR automation.

The new patents address growing demand from global PR teams for content that adapts simultaneously to local media norms and the formats of diverse digital platforms.

The first patent (No. 10-2891979) covers a method that automates article writing by reflecting language and cultural characteristics in each target market through an LLM. Based on user input and metadata about the language and cultural zone, the system selects a “model media outlet” whose political stance and writing style match the target context, then generates an article in that outlet’s style rather than as a direct translation. By mirroring familiar expressions, narrative structure, and article formats for each audience, the technology is designed to reduce the common issue of “translated copy” that often weakens global PR campaigns.

The second patent (No. 10-2891980) focuses on platform-specific optimization. It analyzes posts on websites, social networking services, and social news or marketing channels to derive a representative “model post” for each platform. Using these model posts as references, the system generates LLM-based articles that match the length, tone, and structural patterns native to each channel.

An intermediate server selects the final model post by incorporating both platform characteristics and user feedback, and automatically applies channel-specific article structures and tones to improve effectiveness and consistency across distribution surfaces.

Together with earlier patents covering personalized article writing and media-outlet style recommendations, these grants give Starseed a five-patent portfolio that spans user-level personalization, media style emulation, and platform- and culture-specific optimization within Pulitzer AI.

In production, the platform supports tasks such as press release drafting and distribution, journalist matching, email drafting, global news monitoring, and multilingual workflows for clients ranging from startups to large enterprises and public agencies.

The company is also advancing Pulitzer AI Agent through its selection for South Korea’s TIPS government-backed R&D program, further validating the platform’s technical and commercial potential.

“This set of patents captures the core direction of Pulitzer AI as an AI PR tool that fits directly into day-to-day communications work,” said Katie Bomi Son, CEO of Starseed. “By aligning content with local media conventions and platform formats, the goal is to offer practical advantages to customers preparing global media distribution, multilingual press materials, and international market entry.” Son added that Starseed plans to continue expanding its patent portfolio to reinforce technical barriers in the global PR automation market.

The roadmap includes refining the AI PR agent capabilities of Pulitzer AI, integrating deeper feedback loops from campaign performance data, and extending support for additional platforms and media environments as PR teams diversify their digital channel strategies.

Starseed previously secured a pre-seed investment from VentureSquare in May 2024 and was recently selected for the "2025 Generative AI Startup Map" by Startup Alliance. Pulitzer AI currently supports a wide range of clients—from startups to large enterprises and public institutions—through features such as press release generation and distribution, journalist matching, email drafting, global news monitoring, and multilingual support.
