At DevelopBuild, our dedication to pioneering original AI journalism drives our every endeavor.

Our stories are meticulously crafted through rigorous testing, extensive research, and insightful interviews, all enriched by our deep-rooted industry experience.

Product reviews are rooted in standardized testing methods that yield consistent and objective results across similar offerings. Our testing protocols, continuously refined, reflect our commitment to precision and reliability.

DevelopBuild stands as an independent beacon guiding you through the intricacies of AI technology.

Editorial decisions are the sole domain of our unbiased editorial team, exclusively aimed at serving the interests of our readers.

While DevelopBuild is part of the larger media entity Develop Media, which encompasses various software and SaaS products, our commitment to independence remains steadfast. In cases where we cover our affiliated products, we transparently acknowledge our relationship.

Our editorial conclusions are shaped solely by journalistic integrity, free from personal, advertising, marketing, or other commercial influences. While certain pages feature affiliate links that may earn us commissions, these are distinctly marked with appropriate disclosures.

We do not engage in paid endorsements or produce sponsored content. Our marketing collaboration with vendors is clearly marked as advertising, preserving the integrity of our editorial content.

Transparency and trust are the cornerstones of our unwavering commitment to honest, objective reporting.

TheNextPort stands as a sanctuary against paid reviews and unsolicited submissions. We refrain from employing artificial intelligence (AI) tools to generate original content.

In our collaboration with vendors, we honor embargoes, ensuring timely and accurate information reaches our readers. These embargoes govern timing, not the scope or editorial perspective of our coverage.

Throughout our testing and review process, vendors are provided the opportunity to address concerns that emerge. We stand firm against preconditions or vendor previews prior to publication.

Software provided for evaluation remains within the DevelopBuild ecosystem and is not distributed beyond our offices. Hardware, generously loaned by vendors, is typically returned within 90 days, with occasional extensions for in-depth evaluations.

At DevelopBuild, our mission is to guide you through the dynamic landscape of AI technology with integrity, expertise, and transparency. Join us on this transformative journey as we unlock the potential of AI, empowering you with insights that shape your AI decisions and endeavors.
