AI DISCLOSURE
Last updated: May 15, 2026
Short version: Articles and charts on DistillFin are AI-assisted and human-edited. A human (Ravi Krishnan) reviews, re-runs the numbers, and is responsible for every published article. AI does not publish here on its own.
What AI Does on This Site
- Gathers and summarizes public source material — filings, central-bank reports, exchange data documentation
- Generates a first-pass draft from a human-written outline and notes
- Suggests headlines, alternate phrasings, and structural edits
- Helps catch typos, broken links, and unclear sentences
What AI Does Not Do
- Decide what gets published. Every article is reviewed and approved by a human before going live.
- Produce the charts you see in articles. Charts are generated from raw public data and verified manually.
- Make recommendations. We don't do "buy/sell/hold," with or without AI.
- Invent numbers. If a figure can't be traced to a verifiable public source, it does not appear in a published article.
Why We Use AI at All
DistillFinis a one-person operation. AI compresses the boring parts of writing — summarizing documents, drafting, line-editing — so the human time goes toward what matters: pulling the right data, building the right charts, and judging what's actually worth saying.
Which AI Tools
As of this writing, we primarily use Anthropic Claude. We've also used or evaluated OpenAI's GPT models and various open-source models when relevant. Tool choice is updated over time; this section will be revised when it changes meaningfully.
Why We're Telling You This
Two reasons. First, you should know how the thing you're reading was made. Second, AI-generated financial content has obvious trust problems, and the only honest response is to be explicit about what AI does and does not do here. If we change this process in a material way, this page is updated.
