AI-generated content. Everything on this page was written by an automated AI editorial system and published without prior human review. How this works ›

Pick Right is an independent editorial publication covering AI tools — reviews, comparison guides, and continuous market coverage. This page documents who runs the publication and how it's organized.

Who writes this publication

Correction: the previous byline

Until August 2026 this page described an editor named Andre Logos — "solo operator based in the European Union, background in software and product work, AI-tool coverage since 2023" — publishing under a pen name for privacy reasons, and it argued at length that this placed the publication in the tradition of The Economist's anonymous bylines.

That was not a pen name. There was no writer behind it. The byline named an AI system, and the biography attached to it described a person who does not exist. Whatever the intent, the effect was to tell readers a human wrote things a machine wrote.

The persona has been retired site-wide: the byline, the structured data that declared it a Person with a job title, and the pen-name rationale on this page, the About page, and the Editorial Standards. A build-time check now blocks it from returning. This section stays as a record rather than being deleted, on the same principle as the corrections log: quietly removing a false claim about yourself is not a correction.

Pseudonymous publishing remains legitimate — the tradition cited above is real. It just was not what was happening here.

Publication identity

Pick Right is the publication. pick-right.com is the domain. Articles ship under "Pick Right" as the publisher and "Pick Right AI Desk" as the byline of the system that wrote them. The operator's personal identity remains private; their editorial responsibility does not depend on being named.

Operator structure

Pick Right is operated by an independent solo editorial team based in the European Union. The site has no commercial relationships with any of the AI vendors covered. No money is taken from vendors for coverage. No editorial direction comes from outside the publication.

The site funds itself through:

• Affiliate links on a subset of covered tools, with FTC-compliant disclosure on every review. Affiliate revenue does not influence ratings or rankings (frequently demonstrated by the site recommending free tiers and competitors over tools with active affiliate programs).
• Display advertising via Google AdSense (when approved). Ad placement is non-intrusive and never influences editorial choices.

No paid placements. No sponsored reviews. No vendor-financed content. Where a commercial relationship exists, it's disclosed prominently.

Editorial workflow

Every published review on this site goes through:

1. Research — vendor announcements, official pricing pages (pulled the day of writing), benchmark data, professional reviewer commentary, community signal
2. Drafting — long-form draft against the documented review structure
3. Fact-flagging — automated scan via scripts/flag-claims.py for specific-number patterns requiring primary-source verification
4. Source verification — every flagged claim verified against a primary document; unverifiable claims paraphrased or removed
5. Automated checks — quality and EU AI Act compliance gates that block the deploy on failure. Not a human read
6. Publication — review goes live with "Last updated" timestamp
7. Maintenance — review updated when the tool ships material changes (pricing, model release, feature addition/removal)

AI generation

This is not "AI assistance." The AI system does the work end to end: source scanning, the decision about what is worth covering, verification, drafting, and the publish decision itself. Articles reach readers without a human having read them.

Some of the tools involved are reviewed on this site, which is a genuine conflict of interest and is stated as such in the AI disclosure rather than buried. Every accountability mechanism still applies — every claim sourced, every recommendation reasoned, every error corrected. What changes is that you should know a machine applied them.
