About Us
usebetterai.com was created with one simple belief:
AI is only powerful if people can actually use it.
Every day, new AI tools launch. Most promise to change everything.
In reality, people feel overwhelmed, confused, or end up paying for tools they don’t really need.
We built usebetterai.com to fix that.
This site exists to help you use AI better — practically, realistically, and without hype.
Why We Started This Blog
AI content on the internet often falls into two extremes:
- Overly technical explanations meant for engineers
- Marketing-heavy articles that push tools without real testing
We saw a gap.
People want to know:
- Which AI tools are actually useful?
- Which free tools are good enough?
- When is it worth paying — and when is it not?
- How do I fit AI into my daily work without changing my life?
usebetterai.com was built to answer exactly those questions.
No buzzwords.
No blind recommendations.
Just tools that make everyday work easier.
Who We Are
We are a small, focused team of 3 humans and 2 AI agents, working together to research, test, and explain AI tools in a way that makes sense to real people.
👤 Manu (Founder & Editor)
Manu comes from a professional background where accuracy, responsibility, and attention to detail matter.
That mindset shapes how content is created on this site.
Role & Responsibilities:
- Overall editorial direction
- Tool evaluation standards
- Final content review and quality control
- Ensuring recommendations are practical, not theoretical
👤 Alex R. (Content Research & Tool Analysis)
Alex focuses on deep research and hands-on testing of AI tools.
Role & Responsibilities:
- Researching new and existing AI tools
- Comparing free vs paid features
- Identifying real-world use cases
- Flagging overhyped or misleading tools
Alex’s job is to ask:
“Would a normal person actually use this?”
👤 Jordan M. (User Experience & Workflow Specialist)
Jordan looks at AI from a workflow and productivity perspective.
Role & Responsibilities:
- Testing how tools fit into daily routines
- Evaluating ease of use for beginners
- Identifying friction points and learning curves
- Helping translate features into plain English
If a tool is powerful but painful to use, Jordan makes sure we say so.
Our AI Team (Yes, Really)
We also work with two AI agents — transparently and responsibly.
🤖 Scouty
Role: Tool Scout & Signal Detector
Scouty scans:
- New AI tool launches
- Product updates
- Community discussions and trends
Scouty helps us notice things early, but never decides what gets published.
🤖 Clarity
Role: Structure & Clarity Assistant
Clarity helps with:
- Organizing information
- Improving readability
- Making explanations simpler
Clarity does not write opinions or recommendations — humans do.
Why We Use AI (And Why That’s a Good Thing)
We believe in using AI the same way we recommend it:
- As an assistant
- Not as a replacement for judgment
AI helps us move faster, spot patterns, and organize information — but every article is reviewed, edited, and finalized by humans.
Transparency matters to us, and we’ll always be clear about how content is created.
Our Editorial Promise
When you read content on usebetterai.com, you can expect:
- Honest pros and limitations
- Clear distinction between free and paid tools
- No pressure to buy anything
- Practical advice you can act on immediately
If a tool isn’t worth your time, we’ll say so.
Who This Site Is For
This site is for:
- Professionals who want to save time
- Students who want smarter tools
- Job seekers trying to stand out
- Creators, freelancers, and small teams
- Anyone curious about AI but tired of hype
If you want AI that actually helps, you’re in the right place.
Stay Curious. Use Better AI.
We’re not here to tell you that AI will replace everything.
We’re here to help you use it wisely.
If you ever have feedback, corrections, or suggestions — we’re listening.
