How our articles are made: AI and people
Our articles are built on a simple idea: AI writes, people correct, sources decide.
Written from sources. AI writes each article from published sources, and every source is listed at the end of the article, so you can check where the facts come from. New articles are also checked automatically against their sources before they are published.
Corrected by readers. Anyone can challenge a paragraph that seems wrong, unclear or out of date: press Challenge (under the introduction or at the top of each section), explain what is wrong and, if you can, link a reliable source.
Verified before anything changes. An AI fact-checker checks every challenge against reliable sources. A verified correction is applied to the article, its summaries and its FAQ, and recorded in the article’s changelog with the date and, if you wish, your name.
AI brings speed and structure, people bring knowledge and experience, and sources settle every question. If you are a chef, cook, nutritionist or anyone who knows Italian cooking first-hand, your challenges are especially valuable.
What we don’t do
We don’t test recipes in our own kitchen unless an article says so: recipes and techniques come from published sources, so check quantities and timings as you cook.
