Editorial policy

Independence

myBender is editorially independent. No investor, advertiser, or sponsor has authority over editorial decisions, story selection, or sources. We do not accept equity in the companies we cover.

Sourcing

News desk articles summarise stories published by other news organisations, which every article cites and links. We do not do original reporting or interviews: facts are attributed to the outlet that reported them.

Fact-checking

Before publication, a second AI model checks each article against the source material and blocks it if it contains invented or contradicted numbers, names, quotes or events, or if it repeats a story we have already published. These checks are automatic: articles are not read by a human editor before they go live.

AI usage

News desk articles are generated by AI models from other outlets' reporting and are labelled as AI-assisted. The byline names the desk, not a person. Robot and manufacturer profiles and the pages about our services are written and maintained by Bender. We do not publish AI-generated images of real people or events.

Updates & corrections

When we learn an article contained an error, we correct it and append a dated note in the article's Corrections section. Material corrections are also logged in our public corrections page. Silent stealth-edits are not allowed.

Sponsored content

Sponsored content is clearly labeled as such and is never written by the editorial team. Sponsors have no input on our news coverage.

Right to respond

If a company or person named in an article believes it is inaccurate, they can write to us: we check the report and, if they are right, correct the article with a dated note.
