About and how we test

Who tests the recipes

We write and test Plainly Guide recipes. AI helps with the first draft. Then a person runs the recipe on real work, fixes what breaks, and writes down what happened.

How we test

A recipe shows "Not tested yet" until it has been run. After that it shows the date it was last tested. AI tools change often, so we retest recipes every few months. Read the full testing and editorial policy.

How we make money

Some links are affiliate links, which means we may earn a commission if you sign up. We mark them on the page. We recommend the same tool whether or not there is an affiliate program. Read the full disclosure.

What we do not do

• We do not promise results we have not seen.
• We do not ask you to paste private customer data into any tool.
• We do not use fake urgency or hype.
