About

How we write

Plain language, real testing, named authors, and a correction policy you can actually find.

Who writes what

Every article on MyAIBae has a named author whose bio you can read. Reviews are written by the senior reviewer covering that vertical — Marcus Hale for mainstream AI companion apps, Jay Okafor for NSFW and adult AI, Sofia Bellini for emotional-intent and culture pieces. Lena Park edits everything and writes the strategic pieces on AI ethics. We do not run anonymous content.

How we research

Product reviews are written by someone with an active paid account on the app being reviewed. We test the free trial, the paid tier, the gating, the moderation, the NSFW features (where applicable), and how the conversation holds up after 100+ messages. We do not write reviews from press kits. For culture and emotional-intent pieces, we interview real users — by name or anonymously, with consent. Glossary and explainer pieces are reviewed against primary sources before publish.

Affiliate disclosure

MyAIBae makes money via affiliate partnerships with some of the AI companion platforms we cover. Affiliate links are marked in the article body. We do not let affiliate relationships dictate review scores or which apps we cover — Marcus, Jay, and Sofia have editorial independence, and Lena has final sign-off. If a product we recommend stops being good, we update or retract the recommendation.

How we update articles

Reviews are re-tested every 6 months at minimum, or sooner if the product ships major changes. Each article carries a 'Last updated' date — that's the last time the writer actually re-checked the claims, not just changed a comma. If we get something wrong, we correct it visibly at the top of the article and explain what changed.

Topics we do not cover

We do not publish leak speculation, deepfake instructions, or anything that promotes non-consensual imagery. We do not cover specific minors regardless of context. We do not write 'free' guides that are actually pirated-content guides. If an app's value proposition is illegal or non-consensual, we will not review it positively or at all.
