At unorules.nz we want to be open about how our content is made. We use artificial intelligence (AI) as a tool in our editorial process, but every guide is worked through, fact-checked and edited by a person before it is published. This page explains how that works.
How we use AI
We use the AI tool Claude, developed by Anthropic, to speed up parts of our work. That includes gathering research, organising a guide into a sensible order and producing a first draft. AI helps us work faster and cover the many editions of UNO and other card games thoroughly.
AI is always an aid and never the final word. Nothing is published in the form it leaves the AI tool.
Our human editing
Once a draft exists, an editor takes over. This is where the most important part of the work happens. Among other things, the editor:
- Fact-checks every rule, card count and scoring value against reliable primary sources, above all the official rule sheets and instructions published by each game’s maker.
- Corrects or removes anything that is wrong, out of date or misleading.
- Separates official rules from house rules, so that a popular house rule is never presented as the official one.
- Works on the language so the guide is clear, accurate and easy to follow, including for people who have never played the game.
- Adds context that an AI tool cannot supply by itself, such as how a rule plays out at the table and where players most often go wrong.
- Makes sure the content is original and not copied from other websites.
The aim is that you always get content that is accurate, useful and written for people rather than for search engines.
Why we are open about it
We believe in transparency. Telling you how our guides are made is a matter of trust: you should be able to rely on what you read here and know how it was produced.
We also follow Google’s guidance on helpful, reliable content. Under that guidance, what counts is that content is accurate and made to help people, whether or not AI was involved in producing it. That is the principle we work to.
Fact-checking and responsibility
Everything we publish is covered by editorial responsibility. A responsible editor reviews the material, and we update our pages when the facts change, for example when a game’s maker revises its rules or releases a new edition. You can read more about us and the editorial team on our About us page.
Our content is information, not gambling advice
Our guides are informative and descriptive. UNO and the other games we cover are played for fun. Where an article mentions casino games or gambling, it is not an encouragement to gamble and it is not gambling advice. Gambling for money is for adults, and age limits of 18 or 20 apply in New Zealand depending on the type of gambling. You can read more on our responsible gambling page.
Found an error?
We work hard to get everything right, but mistakes can still slip through. If you find one, we would be grateful if you let us know through our contact page, preferably with a link to the page in question. We will correct it as soon as we can.
