I advise business owners on how AI is changing the way they are found, read, and understood. How I use it in my own work is therefore not a private operational detail. It is a credibility question, and it should be answered before anyone has to ask.

This page covers how AI is used in what I publish, and how it is used in the work I do with clients.

How AI Is Used in My Writing

AI is a drafting and editing tool in my work. It helps me get a first version onto the page, tighten sentences, test structure, and catch what I have overwritten. Grammarly is part of that, and it is an AI tool, which is worth naming because a disclosure that skips the tools that do not feel like AI is not a complete disclosure.

What it does not do

• Decide what is worth writing about
• Supply the observation or pattern a piece is built on
• Set positioning language or determine what is on-brand
• Make a factual or statistical claim that has not been checked against a primary source
• Judge whether something is finished enough to publish

The observation comes first. The tool comes second.

Published pieces carry a short disclosure line with a version number matching this page:

How Client Work Is Handled

Every client is separate

Each client has their own sandboxed project. Memory is on only within that project, so what the tool retains about your business stays with your business. Nothing carries across. Your brand voice, your situation, and your context do not inform work I do for anyone else.

The tools themselves are configured so that what I put into them is not used to train the underlying models. Your information does not cross to another client, and it does not cross into the model.

Meeting transcripts

Transcripts are a working tool. They stay inside your project and are used to track what was decided, sharpen follow-up, and make sure nothing raised in a session gets lost between meetings.

I also use transcripts to examine my own work as an advisor. How I ask questions, where a conversation stalled, what I should have caught sooner. That review happens in a separate system built for that purpose and organized by what I am working to improve, not by client. What moves there is the shape of a conversation. Not your business, and not what you said about it.

If your work appears in something I publish

Patterns from client work sometimes inform what I write. Seventeen years of pattern recognition comes from somewhere.

If a specific circumstance or outcome from our work is worth discussing publicly, I ask you first. You see how you would be referenced, and you can decline, adjust the details, or be named if you would rather be. Nothing identifiable publishes without your agreement.

Where something is abstracted to pattern level rather than attributed, two tests apply before it publishes.

• Could someone who knows you read it and recognize the situation? Removing a name is not enough. Industry, timeline, and sequence of events can all narrow identification. If the answer is yes, it does not publish.
• If you read it, would you feel honored or exposed? Any doubt and it does not publish.
  Situations involving a difficult outcome or an ongoing engagement are not referenced at all, in any form.

If you want constraints

You can tell me how you want AI used in work I do for you, and I will work within that. If you want it kept out entirely, say so and we will go through where it currently sits in the process, including grammar and spelling correction, and agree on what comes out.

Accuracy

AI tools produce confident errors. I assume this and check accordingly. Statistics, dates, and named sources are verified against the original before anything publishes, and I favor primary sources over vendor material. When something cannot be verified and still seems worth mentioning, I say so in the piece rather than leaving you to guess.

Everything is reviewed by a person before it goes out. That review is where mistakes get caught, and sometimes one gets past me anyway. Human review means human error, and that has been true of publishing since long before AI was part of it. When something is wrong, I correct it.

A Note on Detection

Two different things are often discussed as one. Detection tools estimate whether text was produced with AI assistance by reading writing patterns. Separately, several AI companies have begun embedding markers directly into generated text.

Neither measure whether the thinking behind a piece is real, whether the writer has experience in the subject, or whether the work is any good. My content is written to be found by AI search, which rewards answer-first openings and clear structure, and it is edited heavily. Both of those make a high score more likely.

So, a detection tool may flag my work as AI-assisted. That would be accurate. It would also miss the point, which is why this page exists. I would rather tell you how I work than let a percentage explain it for me.

Common Questions

Does AI write your articles?
It drafts and edits them. The observations, the judgment about what is worth saying, and the decisions about how it is said are mine. Every piece is reviewed before it publishes.

Is my information entered into AI tools
Your work happens in a sandboxed project with memory active only inside it, and the tools are configured so submitted content is not used to train the models. Nothing crosses between clients. If you have specific requirements, tell me and I will work within them.

Can you keep AI out of my work entirely?
Yes. We will go through where it currently sits, including grammar and spelling tools, and agree on what comes out.

Will you write about my business?
Not without asking you first. If a circumstance or outcome from our work is worth discussing publicly, you see how you would be referenced and you decide.

Why publish this at all?
Because I advise business owners to do the same thing. A recommendation of this kind should not arrive from someone who has not already done it.

Changes to This Page

This page is versioned rather than quietly updated. When the way I work changes, a new version publishes and previous entries stay listed below. Disclosure lines on published content carry a matching version number.
