How Alchemy + Aim Uses AI

for Ethical, Human-Centered Strategy and Website Projects

We believe in the power of human insight—and in using every tool available to deepen and elevate it.

AI is one of those tools. It doesn’t replace our creative thinking, our strategy, or our intuition. Instead, it helps us go deeper, faster. We use it thoughtfully, ethically, and always in service to the people and projects we’re working with.

Our Philosophy on Using AI in Web Design, Development, and Strategy

AI is an incredible tool for unlocking creative and strategic thinking. We use it to help clients articulate what’s in their heads and hearts more clearly—from transforming standard questionnaires into smart AI prompts to creating first-draft summaries that give us a strong starting point. This allows us to use our time together more meaningfully, diving deeper and asking better questions.

Practical Ways We Use AI in Our Website Projects and Business

AI plays a meaningful support role across our work:

  • Turning client questionnaires into dynamic prompts for deeper insight
  • Generating early drafts of web copy, emails, or reports—always human-refined
  • Researching trends or technical issues to accelerate strategy or development
  • Drafting documentation or systems we then tailor to our client’s needs
  • Supporting the development team with simple code frameworks or troubleshooting help

We view AI as a partner that extends our capabilities, not a shortcut to skip the thinking process. Every AI-generated output is reviewed, edited, and humanized. We check for clarity, emotional resonance, and alignment with your values and vision.

What We Don’t Use AI For

There are clear boundaries in how we use AI:

  • We don’t input sensitive or confidential client information into any AI tools
  • We never use AI to generate false or synthetic images of people
  • We don’t use AI in client meetings, proposals, or communication—you always get us, fully present

We believe the heart of any great digital experience is human. So while AI may support our thinking, the empathy, depth, and wisdom come from us.

The Future of AI in Ethical Website Design and Development

AI will continue to shape the future of business and technology—and we’re here for it. From helping us write better code to offering deeper insight into data and trends, we see its potential. But we also believe deeply in discernment. Our job is to stay curious, stay grounded, and ensure that AI always enhances—never replaces—the real human connection at the center of every project.

We want our clients to be curious too. Try it. Talk to it. See what comes through. But also: surround yourself with real people who know your story, your mission, and your magic. That’s what makes AI useful. That’s what makes it powerful.

Our Role

in Human-AI collaboration

AI is the collaborator, the synthesizer, the sounding board. We are the stewards. The vision holders. The ones who ask: is this right? Is this true? Does this align?

And we make sure that whatever leaves our hands still feels like you—only clearer, deeper, and more resonant than before.

frequently asked questions

Is your work fully automated with AI?

No. We use AI as a support tool, but all final work is reviewed, refined, and often originated by a human strategist or developer. AI may create a first draft, but a human adds the clarity, nuance, and strategy.

What AI tools do you use?

We use a variety of secure, non-client-data tools including generative language models and code assistants. We never upload confidential or sensitive client materials into AI tools.

Can I request that my project not involve AI at all?

Yes. While we find AI to be a helpful tool, we’re happy to work with you in a completely human-led process if you prefer. Let us know what feels best for your project.

Do you use AI to generate images or visuals of people?

No. We never use AI to create false or synthetic images of real individuals. If humans are pictured in your project, they are always real and represented with integrity.

How do you ensure the quality of AI-assisted work?

We apply the same rigorous standards to AI-supported drafts as we do to fully human work. Everything is reviewed, refined, and tested to meet our standards of clarity, empathy, and strategic alignment.
