Editorial Process

Our promise

Every article is researched, tested where testing is possible, written, and reviewed by a person before it goes live. We'd rather publish one guide we've actually used than ten we've only skimmed. If we haven't verified something, we don't state it as fact.

How we research

We start with primary sources, not other blogs. For smart-home topics that means the official documentation and specifications from the people who build the standards and devices, like the Connectivity Standards Alliance and Home Assistant. For AI tools it means the vendor's own model cards, release notes, and pricing pages. Market figures come from named industry research, such as Mordor Intelligence, IDC, or Gartner, with the publisher and year stated in the same sentence as the number.

Every article cites at least three authoritative sources, and we link to the original wherever we can, not to someone else's summary of it. If a claim can't be traced to a credible source, it doesn't make the cut.

How we test

Where a tool or device can be tested, we test it on ordinary hardware with an ordinary internet connection, the way a normal person would use it. That's the only way to know whether a feature works as advertised or falls apart the moment you leave the demo. When we describe a prompt, we run it first and note the tool and the version we used.

How we write

We write in plain English, with no jargon left unexplained. A person edits every article into our own voice, reads it aloud to catch anything that sounds robotic, and puts their name on the result. The words you read have been read, edited, and stood behind by a human.

How AI fits in

We'll be upfront about this. We use AI tools to help with research and to shape a first draft, the same way a lot of writers now do. What we don't do is let AI have the last word.

Every draft gets a line-by-line human review before it publishes. A person checks each fact against its cited source, rewrites anything that reads as generic or hedge-heavy, and confirms that any prompt or product claim was actually tested. The judgement, the testing, and the final words are human. AI just helps with the first mile.

Updates

Technology moves fast, so our articles aren't finished the day they publish. We review the important ones at least every six months, and sooner when something material changes, like a price, a model version, or a new feature. When we make a substantive change, we update the date on the article. Small fixes, like a typo or a clearer sentence, don't move the published date, because that date should tell you when the information last actually changed.

Corrections

We get things wrong sometimes, and we'd rather hear about it than not. If you spot an error, email tapabrata@techdailyai.com. We check every report, fix confirmed mistakes within 48 hours, and note the correction at the foot of the article so you can see what changed and when.

Our independence

Some of our links earn a commission, and the site runs ads. None of that buys a better review. Our recommendation is based on what performs, not on what pays. You can read the full money story in our Disclaimer.

What we don't do

A few things you won't find here. We don't publish sponsored posts dressed up as honest reviews. We don't give medical, financial, or legal advice, and we'll point you to a qualified professional when a topic calls for one. And we never publish anything, AI-assisted or not, that a person hasn't checked first.

Who writes here

The site is researched and written by Tapabrata Biswas, who tests AI productivity tools and home-automation tech the way most people actually use them. You can read more on the About page.
