About bestenki.de
We are a small independent editorial team that tests AI tools the way people actually use them: on real tasks, over weeks, with accounts we pay for ourselves.
Why this site exists
Writing about AI tools comes in two flavours: breathless announcements and blanket warnings. Neither helps much when you have to decide on a Monday morning which tool to roll out to your team. We try to fill the gap in between, with tests you can follow and recommendations you can act on.
How we work
Every tool is used in everyday work for at least two weeks before we give it a score. We score against five fixed criteria, described in detail on the methodology page, and we write down who a tool is not worth it for, the part missing from most comparisons.
Independence
We take no money for tests, scores or placements. We pay for our own access. Some articles contain affiliate links; they are marked as advertising, sit outside the editorial text, and change nothing about a score or a ranking.
Editorial team
bestenki.de is run by Jean-Marc Mihoc, who uses the tools reviewed here day to day and stands behind every review personally. You can reach him through the contact page.
Where to find what
Individual reviews live in the tool overview, sorted into AI assistants, image generators, coding tools, translators and video AI. Context pieces and use cases are collected on the blog.
