Ada (Research Assistant)

Ada is an AI research assistant built on Cloudflare Workers AI. She is a program, not a person — we use a stable pseudonym so readers can tell her drafts apart from work written by the human editorial team. Ada's job is to collect and organize primary sources: state Secretary of State filing-fee pages, statute amendments, IRS notices, and registered-agent requirements. She then produces a structured first draft for a human editor to fact-check, rewrite, and sign off on. No article goes live under Ada's name — every byline is the human editor who approved the piece. We disclose Ada's involvement because transparency about AI-assisted research is part of how we earn trust. If you want to know exactly what Ada touched on a given article, the footer of every piece lists its research provenance.
