Humanopia writes about AI, so you should know how we use it ourselves. This page explains who runs the site and how it earns money, who writes what, how our automated news is made, how we handle sources and scores, and how to tell us about a mistake.
Who runs Humanopia
Humanopia is an independent publication. You can reach us at contact@humanopia.com, and you can read more about why the site exists on our About page.
How we make money
Humanopia earns money from affiliate commissions on some of its links to tools. If you sign up for or buy a tool through one of these links, we may earn a commission. We label affiliate links where they appear.
Commissions never change a verdict or a score.
Who writes what
Every piece on Humanopia says who is responsible for it. We do not invent authors or use made-up names.
- Reviews and essays are written and signed by their author.
- Automated news stories are signed by the Humanopia Editorial Team. That byline tells you the story was drafted with AI and reviewed before it was published, rather than written by one named person.
How we use AI
AI helps us keep up with fast-moving news. It does not replace sources, hands-on testing or human judgment.
Automated news
Our automated news stories are drafted with AI from at least two sources, and those sources are linked on the story. The Humanopia Editorial Team reviews each story before it is published.
How AI-assisted work is labeled
Every automated news story carries a note that says it was drafted with AI from the linked sources. If AI helps draft any other piece on the site, that piece carries a note too.
Sources and numbers
We link to our sources so you can read them yourself. An automated news story needs at least two sources before it is published.
Automated news stories end with a “What this means” box. In plain words, it explains who is affected and which tools change, and it lists the sources.
Every number we publish needs a source and a date. We never round a figure up to make it look bigger.
Reviews and scores
A tool review gets a score out of 10 only after we have tested the tool hands-on, and the score reflects the review’s verdict. A review without a score is called a first look.
A scored review shows the date we tested the tool. Reviews also show the date we checked the prices. Prices change often, so look at that date before you buy.
Read how the score is set, or see the full process on How we review tools.
Corrections
If you spot an error, email contact@humanopia.com. Send the link to the page and tell us what you think is wrong, with a source if you have one.
If we got a fact wrong, we correct it.
