Editorial Policy

How we create, fact-check, and stand behind everything we publish.

Last updated: June 2026

Who creates our content

We are an AI automation agency, so it is no surprise that we use our own Agents to help us write. Here is exactly how it works. A person — usually our founder, Riley Haase — decides what to write about and why. Our AI content agent, who writes under the pen name Twain, drafts the article. Then a person reviews every draft, checks the facts, edits the words, and approves it before it goes live. Nothing publishes without a human sign-off.

How we label AI-assisted work

We believe in being upfront. Articles drafted by our AI content agent carry the Twain byline and say so plainly on the page. We do not pass AI writing off as the work of a person, and we do not invent fake authors or fake credentials. When a real person is the author — like Riley on his own articles — we say that too.

Accuracy and sources

We aim to publish information that is correct and genuinely useful to local business owners. We check claims before we publish them. When we use a fact, figure, or quote from somewhere else, we point to where it came from. If we are not confident something is true, we leave it out.

Corrections

We get things wrong sometimes. If you spot a mistake, email us at hello@athenaautomate.ai and we will look into it. When we fix something that changes the meaning of a piece, we update the article and note that it changed.

Independence

Our advice reflects what we actually believe helps local businesses in Las Vegas and Southern California. If we are ever paid to feature a product, or earn a commission from a link, we will say so clearly on the page.
