Editorial standards
PhantomAI publishes guides about using AI assistants well. This page explains who writes them, how they are produced and corrected, and what we will not publish — so you can judge how much weight to give them.
Who writes this
Simanta Pratim Das
Founder & Developer
Simanta is an independent AI engineer based in Guwahati, India, building PhantomAI as a solo project — designing the product, the interface, and the AI pipeline end to end.
Every guide and article on this site is written by one person. There is no editorial team, no staff writers, and no external reviewers. That is a genuine limitation of a solo project and it is better stated than hidden: content here has not been through peer review or professional fact-checking.
What we aim for
Every guide answers a question someone actually asks
Guides are written to answer a specific question in full — not to rank for a phrase. If a topic can be answered in two paragraphs, it gets two paragraphs inside an existing guide rather than its own thin page.
Explanations include the mechanism, not just the instruction
“Be specific in your prompts” is advice you cannot adapt. “The model predicts plausible continuations, so constraints narrow what is plausible” is a reason you can apply to a new situation. We aim for the second kind consistently.
Examples are concrete and checkable
Where we claim a technique works, we show a before-and-after, a worked example, or a test you can run yourself in under a minute. Claims you cannot verify are worth less than claims you can.
We publish limitations, not just capabilities
Several guides are mostly about where AI assistants fail, and we maintain a dedicated page on what PhantomAI cannot do. Overstating capability is the most common way AI products mislead people.
No invented evidence, ever
No fabricated statistics, no invented user counts, no made-up testimonials, no fake authors, no citations we have not verified. If we do not have a number, we do not use one.
Product claims describe what exists today
We do not advertise features that are planned, half-built, or aspirational as though they already work. If something does not exist, the honest version is on the limitations page.
How AI is used in writing this content
It would be strange for a site about AI assistants to be vague about this, so: AI tools are used during drafting — for outlining, rephrasing, and catching unclear passages. That is normal and we are not going to pretend otherwise.
What does not happen is publishing generated text unchecked. Every guide is reviewed and edited by a person before publication, and the technical claims — how tokenisation affects letter counting, why reasoning-before-conclusion improves accuracy, what a context window does — are checked against primary documentation rather than taken from a model's summary.
The examples are the part we are strictest about. Where a guide says “try this and you will see X,” the test was actually run. We do not describe demonstrations we have not performed.
Dates, updates, and corrections
- Every guide and article shows the date it was published.
- An “Updated” date appears only when the content has genuinely been revised. We do not refresh dates to look current — if a guide has not changed, its published date is the only date you will see.
- Reading times are calculated from the actual word count, not estimated upward.
- Factual corrections are made to the original page rather than quietly deleting it.
- If a correction changes the substance of an argument, the update date changes with it.
What we don't do
- Publish articles that exist only to target a search phrase
- Pad content to hit a word count
- Invent statistics, user numbers, reviews, or testimonials
- Use fabricated author names or credentials
- Claim certifications or audits we do not have
- Copy or lightly reword another site’s content
- Repeat the same guide under several titles
- Recommend a tool because of an affiliate payment
Advertising and independence
PhantomAI may display third-party advertising on its public content pages to help cover running costs. Where ads appear, they are labelled as advertising and are visually separated from editorial content.
Advertisers have no input into what we write. No guide is commissioned, reviewed, or approved by an advertiser, and no recommendation on this site is paid for. Ads are not shown inside the application itself — the chat interface, sign-in, and sign-up screens carry no advertising.
