Reviewer AI use disclosure note builderwhen you publish a review and AI tools helped
TimeBinder adds a layer of protection against AI and human fraud and disputes. Say what you experienced yourself, what AI tools did and who checked the result. You get a short and a longer note, and a list of gaps.
Everything you type stays on this page. This page cannot tell whether a review is accurate or honest, or whether it meets any platform or advertising rule. Only you can say what you did. It is guidance, not legal advice.

Write an honest note on how AI tools were used in a review you publish
Say what kind of review it is, what you experienced yourself, what AI tools did and who checked the result. You get a short and a longer disclosure note and a list of gaps. It cannot tell whether a review is accurate or meets any platform rule.
How do I say honestly that AI tools helped with a review? The short answer
Say what you experienced yourself, in the review and not only in a footnote, then say what the AI tool did: research, a first draft, editing, summaries, translation, or images. Say who checked the facts and quotes. If you received the item free or were paid, say that clearly too, because that is a separate disclosure with its own rules.
A review that describes a visit, a taste or a use that you did not have is a problem however it was written. If an AI tool drafted the text, remove anything you did not observe. This page writes the note. It cannot tell you whether the review is accurate or whether it follows any rule.
Why this came up in November 2026
Readers are asking whether reviews come from real experience. Counts below were read on 13 November 2026 (Australia/Brisbane) unless the text says another date. A news.com.au video, “Cafe critic’s ‘AI review’ sparks uproar”, showed 471,470 views after upload on 26 October 2026, outside our 14 day window. Noah Bristol’s “These Fake AI Chefs Are Conning You” showed 42,806 views after upload on 7 November, inside it. On X, a search for reviewers or critics with AI-written or ChatGPT terms found 162 English posts in the 7 days to 13 November 2026. The video demand is strong for the topic. The X count and the narrow task make our rating moderate. We have not checked what either video says beyond its title.

What this tool does and does not do
The honest job of this page is to help you say plainly what you did. See also the glossary entries for existed no later than and SHA-256.
| Part | What it does | What it does not do |
|---|---|---|
| Short note | Writes a one or two line note on what AI tools did. | Make the review accurate. |
| Longer note | Adds what you experienced, who checked the facts and whether you were paid or got the item free. | Know your platform’s or country’s rules. |
| Gaps | Flags drafts by a tool when you did not experience the thing, and unchecked facts. | Tell whether a review is honest. |
| A TimeBind of a file you already hold | Records that an exact file existed no later than a recorded time and still matches, using a SHA-256 fingerprint made in your browser. The file stays on your device. | Show how a review was written. |
If you may need to show your files later
For a review you may need to stand behind:
- Save your notes, photos or receipts from the visit, and the final text, together.
- Make a TimeBind of each exact file you already hold. The fingerprint is made in your browser and the file stays on your device. You can later download a Proof of Time Certificate.
- Keep the date you published it.
A TimeBind shows each exact file existed no later than the recorded time and still matches. It does not show that a review is accurate.
First Pooled TimeBind free, no card, then from US$5. An ASAP TimeBind is US$15.
What a TimeBind shows, and what it does not. It shows that an exact file existed no later than a recorded time and that a copy shown later still matches its fingerprint. It does not show who made the file, who owns it, that its contents are true, or whether AI was used to make or edit it. This is general information, not legal advice.
Reviewer AI use disclosure note builder: FAQ
Does this check whether my review follows the rules?
No. It cannot know your platform’s or country’s rules. Check them, especially for free items and payment.
Do I have to say AI tools helped with editing?
Rules and norms differ. The tool lets you say so, and shows both short and longer notes. Follow your platform’s rules and be honest.
Can an AI tool write my review of something I did not try?
That is the case readers object to most. This page flags it. Say plainly what you did not experience, or do not call it a review.
Does the note make my review accurate?
No. Check the facts and quotes yourself.
Is this legal advice?
No. Check the endorsement and advertising rules where your readers are, and ask a lawyer if a lot depends on it.
Is anything I type or tick sent to TimeBinder?
No. This page runs in your browser. What you type stays on the page.
