How we use AI at PuupNews
Generative AI is a tool in our toolbox, not the author of our work. This page explains exactly where AI helps us, where it doesn’t, and how we keep your trust.
Last updated · April 25, 2026
The short version
Humans publish. AI assists.
Every article on PuupNews is reviewed and approved by a human editor before it goes live. AI is allowed to help — just like a spell-checker, a research librarian, or a junior writer would — but it never has the final say on what we publish, recommend, or criticise.
Where AI helps us
How we use AI
Research & trend monitoring
We use AI to scan dozens of tech news sources daily and surface emerging topics worth covering. The selection of what gets written is still made by editors.
First-draft generation
For some articles, an AI assistant prepares a structured first draft based on our editorial brief, sources, and tested facts. No draft is published unedited.
Fact-checking & grammar
AI helps catch factual inconsistencies, broken links, and grammar issues during editing. Final factual responsibility always rests with our human editors.
Image generation
When stock photography would feel generic, we generate original illustrations with AI. Anything claiming to be a real product screenshot is the actual screenshot.
Where AI does not belong
What we never do with AI
- We never publish fully autonomous AI articles without human editorial review.
- We never use AI to fabricate quotes, statistics, or expert opinions.
- We never use AI to impersonate a real person or another publication.
- We never present AI-generated images as photographs of real products or people.
- We never generate fake reviews or fake testimonials.
The process
How an article actually gets published
- 01
Topic selection
A human editor or our internal trend-radar surfaces a topic worth covering. AI may help collect signals, but the call to write something is editorial.
- 02
Research & testing
For software reviews, our team installs the product, uses it for at least a couple of weeks, and documents what works and what doesn’t.
- 03
Drafting
A draft is produced — sometimes by a person, sometimes with the help of AI. Either way, it is written from our notes and tests, not invented.
- 04
Editorial review
A human editor checks every claim, every link, every screenshot, and every recommendation. Anything that can’t be verified gets cut.
- 05
Publication
Once approved, the article goes live with an author byline, a publish date, and an updated date if it gets revised later.
Our promise to readers
If we ever publish content that’s heavily AI-assisted in a way that meaningfully changes how you should read it, we’ll say so at the top of the article. If you spot something you suspect is wrong or AI-fabricated, please tell us — we’ll investigate, correct it, and update this disclosure if our practices change.
