AI stack for freelancers: common questions
Should I tell clients I use AI?
Be open if AI produces part of the deliverable, and follow any contract terms on AI use. Many clients care more about quality, confidentiality and who is accountable than about the tools.
Can I charge less because AI makes me faster?
You can, but pricing by value or by project often works better than lowering an hourly rate. Faster delivery is a selling point in itself.
How do I keep client data safe?
Use business plans that do not train on your data where possible, avoid pasting confidential material into free tools, and record meetings only with permission.
