The results of a check.

Where the data lands.

Depending on what the AI finds online, you'll get one of these four outcomes.

VERIFIED

Confirmed information

The AI finds matching reports in current news. You get a summary of the consensus from live sources.

CORRECTED

Updated facts

The AI identifies outdated claims by comparing them to recent web data. It provides the most recent version of the truth.

FLAGGED

Unverified claims

If the AI finds no supporting evidence online, it flags the claim. You'll know exactly where the data is missing.

HUMAN

Manual review needed

When news is conflicting or sources are thin, the AI hands the task to you. You decide which source to trust.

The workflow

What your AI does when a claim arrives.
