The Story Behind This Site
I started MyUndoAI because I was tired of AI hype and bullshit.
In early 2024, everyone from tech influencers to mainstream media was bombarding us with AI promises: "This tool will 10x your productivity!" "AI will replace your job!" "ChatGPT can do everything!"
The reality? Most AI tools are overhyped, expensive, and confusing. Some are genuinely useful. But nobody was telling the truth about which is which.
So I decided to test them myself. Rigorously. Honestly. Without affiliate bias clouding my judgment.
Who's Behind This (And Why You Should Trust Me)
My Background:
- 6+ years working in digital content and marketing
- I've tested 25+ AI tools, spending over 150 hours and $800+ of my own money
- Former skeptic who became a pragmatic AI adopter
What I'm NOT:
- I'm not an AI researcher with a PhD (and I don't pretend to be)
- I'm not sponsored by AI companies (all my initial reviews are independent)
- I'm not here to sell you courses or $997 masterclasses
- I'm not using my real name (I value privacy and separate my work from personal life)
What I AM:
- A practitioner who tests everything before recommending it
- Obsessively thorough (some might say annoyingly so)
- Willing to call out tools that suck, even popular ones
- Focused on practical results over theoretical potential
How MyUndoAI is Different
1. Real Testing, Real Results
When I say I tested 15 AI writing tools for 120 hours, I mean it. Here's proof:
My Testing Process:
- Purchase or subscribe to each tool (no free trials that bias results)
- Use identical test tasks across all tools
- Document outputs with screenshots
- Measure time, quality, and actual usability
- Update reviews quarterly as tools evolve
I don't just read press releases and rewrite them. I use these tools for actual work tasks and document what happens.
2. Transparent Methodology
Every review follows the same process:
Testing Criteria:
- Speed: Time from prompt to usable output
- Quality: Accuracy, relevance, and naturalness of output
- Usability: Learning curve and interface design
- Value: Cost vs. time saved
Scoring System:
- 1-10 scale across four categories
- Each tool faces identical test tasks
- Results documented with screenshots
- Scores recalibrated as tools improve
Test Tasks (standardized across all reviews):
- Professional email writing (200 words)
- Blog post outlines (8-10 main points)
- Social media content (Twitter threads, LinkedIn posts)
- Product descriptions (e-commerce copy)
- Meeting notes transformation (raw notes to polished reports)
3. No BS Policy
- If a tool is expensive and mediocre, I'll tell you
- If a free tool beats paid options, I'll tell you
- If I'm using affiliate links, I'll disclose it clearly at the top
- If I haven't tested something personally, I won't review it
- If a tool's pricing or features change, I update the review

How I Make Money (Full Transparency)
Affiliate Commissions: When you sign up for tools through my links, I earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. This helps fund more testing and keeps the site running.
Important: I only recommend tools I've actually tested and would use myself. My reviews don't change based on commission rates. I've given low scores to tools with high commissions and high scores to tools with low commissions.
Sponsored Content: Occasionally, I work with tool companies for sponsored reviews. These are always clearly labeled with "SPONSORED" at the top, and I maintain complete editorial independence. If a sponsored tool underperforms, I say so.
What I DON'T Do:
- Take payment to rank tools higher
- Hide negative reviews
- Write reviews for tools I haven't personally tested
- Remove critical feedback in exchange for money
A Note About "Undo" & Privacy
Why "Undo"?
The name reflects my philosophy: AI is powerful, but it's not magic. Sometimes you need to undo what AI does and bring human judgment back in. AI tools are meant to augment your work, not replace your thinking.
Why Anonymous?
I value my privacy and believe quality work speaks for itself. My testing methodology, data, and insights matter more than my personal identity. Many respected creators operate pseudonymously or anonymously—what matters is consistency, transparency, and quality.
You don't need to know my real name to trust my reviews. You need to see my methodology, my proof, and my track record of honest assessments.
