Test it

Using "fact-checker". Fact check: Humans only use 10% of their brain.

Expected outcome:

Verdict: False. Neuroscience evidence shows activity across the brain, and damage to any major region can affect function.

Using "fact-checker". Verify whether this chart proves our product doubled productivity.

Expected outcome:

Verdict: Unverifiable from the chart alone. The chart needs sample size, baseline method, timeframe, and independent measurement details.

Using "fact-checker". Check whether this article uses reliable sources for its climate claim.

Expected outcome:

The strongest sources are peer-reviewed studies and official datasets. Anonymous commentary and outdated news summaries should receive lower weight.

What You Can Build

Check Public Claims

Verify quotes, statistics, and viral claims before publication.

Review Product Claims

Evaluate whether messaging is supported by evidence and needs caveats.

Teach Source Evaluation

Practice separating evidence, context, and opinion in research assignments.

Try These Prompts

Verify a Single Claim
Fact check this claim: [claim]. Give a verdict, evidence, context, and sources with credibility notes.
Assess Source Credibility
Evaluate these sources for this claim: [claim]. Rank each source and explain which evidence is strongest.
Compare Conflicting Claims
Fact check these competing claims about [topic]: [claims]. Identify which parts are true, false, mixed, or unverifiable.
Audit a Full Article

Best Practices

  • Provide the exact claim, date, source, and any surrounding context.
  • Ask for source credibility notes when evidence quality matters.
  • Separate the factual verdict from interpretation or opinion.

Avoid

  • Do not ask it to confirm a preferred conclusion without contrary evidence.
  • Do not treat old sources as current for fast-changing topics.
  • Do not use the verdict as a substitute for expert review in regulated domains.
