As the owner and editor behind BulletProof Writing Services, I want to be transparent about how, when, and why I use artificial intelligence (AI) tools in my work. AI has transformed many aspects of how we create, evaluate, and publish content, and I believe it can be a helpful tool when used responsibly.

But let me be clear: BulletProof Writing Services is run by a human. AI tools may support my workflow, but they will never replace the expert attention I give to every piece of writing that comes across my desk.

Why I Use AI Tools (and Why You Benefit)

When used properly, AI can help me work more efficiently, which means faster turnaround times and better value for you. With the right safeguards in place, AI tools can tackle specific tasks, like these:

• Run a pre-edit check for typos, grammar, and spelling so I can focus more on clarity, tone, and flow.
• Suggest outlines, headlines, and interview questions to jump-start the creative process.
• Locate additional verifiable, trustworthy sources or related content to support materials.
• Create macros for Word that enable me to edit more efficiently.
• Generate keyword ideas and help optimize content for SEO.
• Provide summaries of long documents to streamline content planning or review.

These are time-saving enhancements—not editorial shortcuts.

Professionally Trained in Ethical AI Usage

To ensure I’m using these tools thoughtfully and responsibly, I’ve completed professional training specifically designed for editors working with AI tools. This training emphasizes ethical use, transparency, and maintaining editorial integrity. It equips me to

• identify the strengths and limitations of AI-generated content,
• use AI to support—not replace—critical thinking and human creativity,
• apply best practices for protecting client confidentiality and data privacy, and
• make informed choices about which tools to use and when.

This education reinforces my commitment to quality and builds trust with my clients. I believe in lifelong learning and commit to continuing my education regarding the ethical use of AI tools.

How AI Supports (but Never Replaces) My Work

The tools I may use include ChatGPT, Canva, Microsoft Word Editor, Perplexity, and ProWritingAid. They support my role, but they do not make decisions for me. Whether I use an AI tool or combination of tools for a project depends on the client’s preferences and project needs.

Every AI-generated suggestion is reviewed, then approved or rejected by me, based on your goals, audience, and voice.

Here’s what I will not use AI for at BulletProof Writing Services:

• Editing or analyzing your content without your consent
• Handling sensitive or confidential information
• Making editorial changes without a human review
• Writing entire pieces of content on your behalf
• Replacing me as your editor, writer, or creative partner

In short, AI is a digital assistant—not your editor.

Consent and Communication Come First

You will always know I use if AI tools in any part of our collaboration. If you prefer your project remain entirely AI-free, just let me know. I respect your preferences and will work according to your comfort level.

You can read the official policy document here. And since I’m committed to transparent business practices, my contracts also have a section dedicated to my AI policy. All new clients are required to acknowledge the policy and indicate whether or not they consent to the potential use of AI for the project.

As technology evolves or project needs change, your stance on AI tools may shift—and that’s okay. Simply contact me about your updated preferences, and I’ll update our workflow to accommodate you.

Takeaways

AI is a tool—not a substitute for the experience, judgment, and creativity I bring to your content. I use it to streamline my process and enhance the quality of the services I provide, but you can rest assured that every word I deliver has been shaped and reviewed by a real human (me). If you have questions or concerns about my AI policy, reach out to me directly here. Want to collaborate on a project where AI tools are (or are not) involved? Let me know—I’m happy to accommodate your preferences. Remember, together we can make your writing bulletproof!
