Disclosure

Heard of You has no affiliate relationships or paid placements. How we use AI tools in our own work, and the promise that a person checks every report.

Plain-English draft. Have a lawyer review before relying on it.

A service that gets people into AI answers should say how it uses AI itself. And whether anyone pays it on the side. Here is both.

Affiliate relationships: none

We have no affiliate links, referral deals or commissions with any product, platform or service named on this site. When we mention a competitor, a review site, a tool or an AI company, nobody pays us for it. We earn nothing if you use them.

If that ever changes, the link or mention will be labelled where it appears. This page will be updated first.

Paid placements: none

We do not pay any website, list or publication to include a customer. We do not accept payment from any website to send customers to it. If a list only takes paid entries, we skip it and tell the customer why.

A customer may one day ask us to arrange a sponsored placement. If we agree, it will be labelled as sponsored wherever it appears, in line with FTC endorsement guidance. We have not done so and do not plan to.

How we use AI in our own work
- To run the checks. We put your buyer questions to ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity and Muse. That is the product. Those answers are logged, saved and shared with you word for word.
- To help draft. We may use AI tools to help draft reports, pitches, pages and replies. A person reads, edits and approves everything before it goes to you or out under your name. At launch that person is Dasha, for every report.
- Not to post as you or as anyone else. We never use AI to generate reviews, forum posts or comments that pretend to come from a customer. Reddit replies are drafted for you to post under your own name, or not at all.
- Not to invent facts. Any figure on this site traces to a named source listed at the bottom of the page. Example results are labelled as examples.

The pages on this site

Dasha wrote the text on heardofyou.io with help from AI drafting tools, then edited and checked it. Example products such as "Ledgerly" are made up and labelled as such. Competitor names in examples are real products, used only as illustration. We claim nothing about them beyond what is on their own public pages.

Testimonials and results

At launch we have none, and we say so. When we publish results, they will be real. They will come from founding customers who agreed in writing, anonymised unless they chose otherwise. And they will include the cases where nothing moved.
