AI Usage Philosophy
We use AI to enhance our content creation process while maintaining human oversight, originality, and editorial integrity. All strategic decisions, insights, and opinions originate from human expertise—AI serves only as a supporting tool to improve efficiency and accuracy.
How We Use AI
Text Enhancement and Formulation:
We use AI to rephrase text for clarity and readability, and to enhance writing style. Most formulation assistance is provided through Claude 4.5 Sonnet (accessed via Perplexity). This ensures our content remains accessible and engaging while preserving our unique voice and editorial perspective.
Keyword Optimization:
AI helps us add relevant keywords to improve content discoverability without compromising readability or user experience.
Factual Research:
We use AI to research simple, verifiable facts such as AI tool prices, key features, support options, and free plan scopes. Our tool research automations primarily use ChatGPT-4o for this purpose. All AI-researched information is verified through our hands-on testing process.
Visual Content Creation:
- Blog Images: We use AI image generators to create original visual content for blog posts
- Social Media Content: AI-generated images and videos are used to create engaging social media material
- Tool Testing Showcases: We generate AI images and videos specifically for testing purposes and to showcase tool capabilities online. These examples demonstrate real output quality from the tools we review
Video Content:
We use video generators for creating blog post supporting content and social media material, allowing us to demonstrate AI video capabilities while producing engaging content for our audience.
What We DO NOT Use AI For
Content Summarization:
We NEVER use AI to summarize other pages' insights or aggregate competitor content. This practice would undermine our commitment to originality and firsthand evaluation.
Full Blog Post Writing:
We do not use AI to write complete blog posts. All ideas, insights, analyses, and strategic perspectives are developed by human editors and contributors.
Simulating Test Results:
AI is never used to simulate or generate testing data. Every review is based on real, hands-on evaluation.
AI Disclosure and Transparency
Quality Control: All AI-assisted content is reviewed and fact-checked by human editors to ensure accuracy, relevance, and alignment with our editorial standards.
Testing Integrity: No AI simulation of results—only real, hands-on testing data. Please also check our Testing Methodology page.
Human Oversight: Every piece of content undergoes human review to ensure that AI assistance enhances rather than replaces human judgment and expertise.
