How we use AI, and how we don't

By The Latchkey Daily Team, EditorsUpdated

We use AI the way we tell readers to: as a fast assistant for research, first drafts, editing, captions, thumbnails and turning one long video into short ones. We do not use synthetic hosts, voices or faces, generated testimonials, or any image a reader could mistake for a real person. A human writes, checks and signs everything we publish.

Why this matters here

Latchkey Daily exists to make technology, including AI, usable and safe for people who did not grow up with it. The fastest way to lose that trust would be to put a synthetic face in front of the camera and hope nobody noticed. So we don't. The person on camera is real, the voice is theirs, and the byline is a human who will answer your email.

What readers can expect

  • Real examples of scam messages, redacted, from real reports, never generated
  • Screenshots in guides taken on real devices by the person who wrote the guide
  • A note at the bottom of any article where AI produced a substantive first draft
  • The same postcard rule we give you: nothing sensitive about a reader goes into an AI tool
