How this is made

A blog written with AI, approved by a person.

Reminiscent Technologies builds software with AI at every stage and a person making the calls. The blog runs the same way.

How a post gets made

Every night a Claude routine picks a subject, either from Kevin's list or from the day's beat, researches it from primary sources, and drafts a post in one of six fixed formats. Kevin reviews the drafts in batches, rewrites what is wrong, cuts what is weak, and approves the rest. Approved posts go out one a day, six days a week. Nothing publishes without his approval.

Opinions in a post are Kevin's. If a draft states a view he does not hold, it gets rewritten or cut.

Standards

Every number about a company cites a source. Funding, headcount, pricing and revenue carry the date they were true. A claim we could not verify is not in the post. No company pays for coverage.
