We think you should know how this site is made, so here’s the honest version.

The people bit

The ideas, opinions and picks on No Shoes Allowed come from real people. The arguments about whether a bouclé chair is cozy or just itchy? Those are ours. So is deciding what goes into a collection and what gets left out.

Where AI helps

We use AI writing tools to help tidy up and polish our writing, check spelling and grammar, and turn rough notes into something that reads properly. Think of it as a very fast editor. A person decides what we say, the tool helps us say it more clearly, and a person checks it before it goes live.

We also use software to sort through the huge product feeds we get from retailers, so we can find the pieces worth looking at among hundreds of thousands of listings.

Images

Product photos come straight from the retailers that sell them. If we ever use an AI generated image on the site, we’ll say so.
