A publication with a bias toward useful
GeeklyPlug started in 2026 because searching for a straight answer kept returning eleven versions of the same one. It is independent, reader-funded and written by two editors, with a focus on AI and the technology people use every day.
What we hold to
We publish less than we could
Most weeks we kill more than we run. A piece has to leave you able to do something you could not do before, or it does not go out.
No sponsored articles, ever
Advertising and editorial never touch. If we recommend something, nobody paid for that sentence and nobody previewed it.
We show our reasoning
Where a number came from, who we spoke to, what we could not confirm. If we were wrong, the correction sits on the original piece.
We follow problems, not a beat
These are the areas we have been writing in lately. It is a starting point rather than a boundary. If enough readers keep hitting the same wall somewhere new, that is where we go next.

Written and edited by two people
Deliberately. A small masthead is why we can check what we publish, and why every article has a name attached to it that you can hold to account.
