Editorial policy

Who writes this

One person: Dhaval W, who builds software that sits next to AI tools and writes here about the ones he uses. There is no editorial team, no contributor network, and no guest posts. Every article carries the same byline because the same person is accountable for all of it.

How AI is used to write these articles

Openly, and worth saying plainly on a site about AI. Drafts are produced with AI assistance and then edited, fact-checked, and cut down by a human before anything is published. Nothing goes up unread.

What that means in practice: the structure, the argument, and every judgement call about which tool is better are decided by a person who used the tools. The model helps get words on the page faster. It does not decide what the article concludes, and it is never the source of a factual claim. Where a claim needed a source, the source was opened.

Corrections

Errors get fixed in place and the article gets an update date, visible under the headline. Where a correction changes what the article recommends, a line at the point of the change says what it used to say and why it moved. Silent edits to a conclusion are not something this site does.

Found something wrong? Mail [email protected] and say which article. A correction that arrives with evidence gets made the same week.

Updates and retirement

AI moves fast enough that a good article ages into a wrong one. Anything stating a price, a usage limit, a free-tier ceiling, or a model version is rechecked at least quarterly. An article that can no longer be made true is retired rather than left up with a fresh date on it.

Affiliate links and how they are handled

Some links to tools are affiliate links, meaning a commission is paid if you sign up or buy after clicking. That is one of the ways this site is funded. Three things it never changes:

• Whether a tool is recommended, and where it ranks against the others.
• What the article says about the tool's weaknesses.
• The price you pay, which is the same either way.

Tools that pay nothing are recommended above tools that pay well whenever they are the better answer, and that happens often. Where an article recommends something with no affiliate programme at all, it says so.

Products we build

Software built by the author is sometimes relevant to what an article is about. Where that happens the article says outright that it is ours, in the sentence that mentions it, and names the alternatives with the same amount of detail. A reader should never have to work out that the tool being recommended belongs to the person recommending it.

Sponsored content

There is none. No paid placements, no paid reviews, no vendor-written posts, no link insertions sold after publication. If that ever changes, anything sponsored will be labelled as sponsored at the top of the article, and it will not be retrofitted onto anything already published.

Sources and quotes

Claims that came from somewhere else are attributed where they appear, with a link to the primary source rather than to whoever reported on it. Benchmark figures are credited to whoever ran the benchmark. Nothing here quotes a study it has not opened.

Privacy

What gets collected when you read this site, and what does not, is on the privacy page. The short version: analytics that set nothing on your device run for everyone, and anything that stores a cookie runs only if you agree to it.
