How we review tools

Every tool in this directory has been assessed by Michael MacLennan against real communications workflows. Entries marked Tested by Faur have been used hands-on in live work. We've run the tool against actual comms tasks and verified the claims. Entries without that badge have been desk-reviewed: assessed using public documentation, vendor information, and practitioner sources. All entries include a last reviewed date. Pricing is verified at point of review; always check the vendor site for current rates. Paid listings never appear among the reviewed tools: if a tool is sponsored, it sits in its own clearly labelled block below them, marked as a paid placement we have not tested or ranked. How sponsored listings work.

We also test assistants against each other. In the Comms AI Pentathlon 2026, eight AI assistants answered five comms briefs and judged each other blind, with every entry and score published.
