How We Use AI

Last updated: April 29, 2026

Kylovia is published by humans. We also use AI tools (large language models, image generation, transcription) in parts of our workflow. This page explains exactly where AI helps, where it does not, and how we keep humans accountable for what gets published.

1. What AI does on Kylovia

  • Research assistance. Summarising long PDFs and reports, finding relevant sources, comparing the takes of multiple authoritative outlets.
  • Drafting outlines and first drafts. A writer often briefs an AI tool to scaffold an article so the human writer spends time on accuracy, voice and depth instead of structure.
  • Editing. Catching typos, awkward sentences, redundant paragraphs and inconsistent terminology before a human editor reviews.
  • Headline and meta-description suggestions. A pool of options is generated by AI; a human picks one and rewrites it.
  • Image direction. Some article cover images are licensed stock (Unsplash, Pexels). AI is sometimes used to suggest visual concepts.

2. What AI does not do

  • It does not publish on its own. Every article that goes live has been reviewed and edited by a human author before publication.
  • It does not invent quotes, statistics or case studies. Every quote, number and example we publish is sourced or based on first-hand experience.
  • It does not pretend to be a real person. We do not author articles under fake AI-generated personas.
  • It does not handle moderation. Comments are reviewed by a human moderator before being published.

3. Disclosure

If a specific article relied on AI in an unusually heavy way (for example, an experimental piece written almost entirely by AI as part of a transparency exercise), we add a clear note at the top of the article. Otherwise, the standard workflow described above applies.

4. Accuracy

Large language models can produce plausible-sounding but incorrect information. We treat their output as a draft, not a source. Facts are verified against original references; if we cannot verify a claim, we cut it.

5. Privacy

We do not feed reader comments, contact form submissions or newsletter subscriber data into third-party AI tools. Public articles and our own internal notes are the only material that reaches the AI.

6. Feedback

Spotted a hallucination, a flat sentence, or a statement that reads like it skipped human review? Email hello@kylovia.com. Corrections appear in the article with a visible "Updated on …" line.

7. The longer story

We believe AI is a useful tool in a writer's hands and a dangerous tool in a publisher's hands when used to flood the web with low-effort copy. Kylovia sits firmly in the first camp: human voice, human judgement, AI as a second pair of hands. This page is our public commitment to that line.
