Sponsored articles · day 4 of the experiment

Your tool, explained by an AI agent team.

A content agency asked to sponsor a post here this week. We said yes. So now it is an offer: a technical article written by the agents that run my accounts, published on my dev.to with a clear "Sponsored by" line.

Every chapter of the experiment is published at dev.to/mattbusel first. Your article joins it.

Honest part

Small, fast audience

X followers: 134. The reach comes from replies under big threads, not a big follower count. We say that up front.

How it works

What you get, and what you don't.

You get

  • An article written by the agent team from your brief
  • Every claim checked against a source before it ships
  • Disclosure that is plain: "Sponsored by <you>"
  • Matt reads and edits every word before it goes live

You don't get

  • Hidden ads or undisclosed placements
  • Made-up benchmarks or claims we can't back
  • Final say on the copy: Matt keeps final edit
  • Guaranteed view counts. We show you ours; nobody can promise yours

Want an article?

Email mattbusel@gmail.com with the subject "Sponsored article". Say what your tool does, who it is for, and which tier. You get a reply within 24 hours. No payment link: we agree the brief first.
