About

Hi, I'm Nadine de Jong — the person behind PickMyAITools.

I review AI tools the way I test software: hands-on, skeptical, and focused on what actually works in real conditions. My background is a mix of online marketing (Google Ads, SEO), software development, and QA — currently as a freelance QA specialist for a major retail company.

That combination shapes how I evaluate AI tools. I notice the bugs marketing pages don't mention. I care whether tools handle EU/GDPR properly, because most of my readers are based in Europe. And as a working mother, I care about tools that actually save time — not ones that just look impressive in demos.

What you'll find here

• Reviews based on hands-on use, not press releases
• Comparisons that name the trade-offs, not just the features
• A Task-to-Tool Matcher that recommends tools based on what you actually want to accomplish
• A focus on tools that are realistic for freelancers, small businesses, and working professionals — not enterprise-only platforms

What you won't find here

• Generic "top 10" lists rewritten from other sites
• AI-generated content presented as personal experience
• Tools recommended just because they pay the highest commission

The site is actively being rebuilt with this approach. If you spot something off, tell me — I'd rather hear it from you than from a reader who just clicks away.
