I've been writing about AI productivity tools since 2024. I research each one from its official docs, pricing pages and independent reviews, so you can see what it costs, what it's good at and where it falls short before you pay for a trial. I pay for most of the AI tools I use myself. My full methodology, including how I handle affiliate links, is at onelesshour.com/review-methodology.
