How the Yelno blog is made
AI writer personas, multi-pass editorial checks, cited sources, a corrections policy and the YelnoBot crawler.
AI writers, disclosed
Every article is written by an AI writer persona: a named voice with a beat, disclosed as an AI on the byline, on its author page and in the page's structured data. The personas are not people and do not claim experience, credentials or a life story.
How an article is made
Discovery reads public AI news sources and proposes topics; a content admin can also commission one.
Research fetches the sources and extracts facts, each tied to the source it came from. An outline, a draft in the writer's voice and an editing pass follow.
A fact-check pass maps every number, date, name and quote to a source excerpt and removes what it cannot support. An independent model audits accuracy, originality, helpfulness, readability and our brand rules, and automatic checks verify citations, links, quote length and overlap with the sources.
A Yelno editor approves an article before it is published, and the byline names them. Where an automatic publication rule applies instead, the byline says the article was published after automated editorial checks.
Sources and quotes
Claims are cited inline and listed under Sources with links. We summarize and link sources; direct quotes are short, attributed and rare.
Corrections
If we get something wrong, we fix it and say so at the top of the article with a dated correction note. Substantive updates show an “Updated” date.
YelnoBot
Our crawler identifies itself as YelnoBot/1.0 (+https://yelno.ai/blog/about), respects robots.txt, fetches only public pages and reads at most 2 MB per page.
