Using generative AI
Generative AI tools can be useful for research, brainstorming and structuring your ideas, but your submission should reflect your own expertise, experiences and perspective.
We want to hear what you know that others may not. Articles should provide original value through first-hand experience, professional expertise, research, examples or informed commentary rather than simply summarising information that is already widely available.
If you use generative AI when preparing your article, make sure you:
- Fact-check all claims, statistics and sources.
- Rewrite and review the content carefully in your own words.
- Include your own experiences, examples and expertise.
- Check that sources are credible, current and accurately represented.
- Never submit fabricated quotations, statistics, case studies or references.
BizWitty reserves the right to edit or reject submissions that do not meet our editorial standards.

We particularly value first-hand experiences, professional expertise, real-world examples and informed perspectives that give our readers something they can learn from or apply to their own business.

Can I include links in my article?
Yes, provided the links are relevant and add genuine value for readers. You may include one contextual link to a private company, while relevant links to government websites, industry organisations and other authoritative sources may also be included.
Links that are overly promotional or included primarily for SEO purposes may be removed during the editorial process.
Can I use generative AI to help write my article?
