What PestoAI is
PestoAI hosts and manages a news website or an embeddable news feed with AI-generated content, subscriber access, and ad placement. Users can create professional news articles from a few text messages, schedule generation by category and frequency, and review or edit articles in a built-in editor before publishing. A feed can be embedded in an existing site, or users can create a hosted subscription site with a custom web domain. Posts may be open to all visitors, available to signed-up subscribers, or limited to paying subscribers. Site owners can invite collaborators with different permissions. Documentation describes WordPress, Shopify, and Wix plugins or apps, plus an embeddable feed snippet. The REST API retrieves published posts and individual post content. iOS and Android apps manage sites and posts; the iOS app does not support billing management. Pay as you go costs $0.60 per generated post.
