What it commits to, in its own words
6 of the 8 commitments the library compares. Each is ticked only because the policy states it as Mangrove Web's own practice; the words under it are quoted from the policy.
- Human review
- “All AI-assisted work is reviewed by qualified professionals.”
- Tells clients up front
- “When AI significantly contributes to a deliverable, we will let our clients know.”
- When AI shapes the work: how other agencies word it
- Client data rule
- “No private data, proprietary code, or contracts are entered into public AI tools.”
- Says what AI never does
- “We will not build our products with AI alone; however, we may use it as a tool in the building process.”
- Ownership and originality
- “We respect intellectual property and will not prompt AI to imitate identifiable creators or reuse copyrighted material.”
- Names its tools
- “This document was written by the Mangrove team with the support of ChatGPT as part of our internal AI research.”

Not stated in the policy as we read it
- Named owner. Names the person, role or group accountable for how the agency uses AI.
- Client can limit AI. Clients can limit or exclude AI on their work, or the agency follows the client's own AI rules.
