Editorial Standards
How AI Tools Daily reports, labels, sources and corrects its content.
Content labels, evidence and method
Every article carries one of four transparency labels: News Report (aggregated from official announcements and public reporting, with sources linked), Editorial Analysis (original commentary based on public information), Editorial Review (an independent assessment built by comparing public material — official documentation, pricing pages and reporting) and Site Exclusive (original first-published content). Desk research and hands-on testing are kept apart: a review whose conclusions rest on testing we actually ran is labelled Hands-on Review instead, and it states the versions, setup, results and what we did not test. We do not dress research up as testing, and we do not attribute the work to a named individual: the byline is the editorial desk, and no expert identity is invented to satisfy E-E-A-T. Promotional placements are additionally marked as Editor's Pick.
Sources, verification and prices
News reports cite first-hand sources — official blogs, filings and reputable media — linked at the end of each article. Before publication, key facts such as a launch date, a figure or a product claim are checked against at least one primary source, or against a registry timestamp (an App Store releaseDate, a first PyPI or npm publish, a first GitHub release). Where only a lower bound is available — an archive capture, an old screenshot — we state the coarser precision instead of guessing a month or a day. Publication dates reflect when events actually happened. Prices and free tiers drift, so a price on this site is a dated observation with its basis (vendor pricing page, plan name, region), never a standing promise; a price you read here may already have changed.
Corrections
When we get something wrong, we correct the article promptly. Material corrections are noted in the text itself and the story's revision date is updated, and every revised story is listed on the Revisions page. Routine maintenance — a new version number, a refreshed link — is not a correction and is never presented as one. Report errors to the desk and we aim to respond within 48 hours.
AI assistance, independence and sponsorship
We use AI tools to assist drafting and translation; editors review every piece before publication and remain responsible for accuracy. Trend heat indexes are editorial estimates, not third-party statistics. Paid placements exist, and they are always labelled (Editor's Pick · Sponsored) and linked to the advertiser. A sponsor gets no say in an editorial verdict, no preview or approval over a review, and a paid placement is never turned into a recommendation; commercial partnerships never change what we publish.
