AI Disclosure

Last updated: May 2026

Our website may include an AI chatbot powered by Voiceflow. It uses AI to answer questions about our services. It is not a human.

Our voice agent demo uses Voiceflow and Twilio. It demonstrates how an AI phone agent handles bookings for a hospitality venue. The voice is AI-generated, not a real person.

AI assistants on demo sites use fictional business data. Any contact details shown in demos are not real.

Our AI Tools Directory contains tool descriptions and pricing information that may be AI-assisted. All entries are reviewed by a human before publishing. Pricing is indicative and may not reflect current rates.

The Free AI Audit report is prepared with AI assistance and reviewed by a human before being sent to you.

Newsletter content may be assisted by AI tools but is reviewed and approved by a human before sending.
