Chrome fact checker extension

AI Fact Checker Browser Extension

Check claims from the page you are already reading. FactSentinel shows verdicts, confidence, model agreement or disagreement, reasoning, and sources so you can inspect the evidence before sharing.

Why it matters

Fact-checking should stay close to the moment of reading.

Questionable claims usually appear inside articles, newsletters, social posts, forums, and search results. If checking requires copying text into several separate tools, the check often gets skipped.

Highlight

Select a claim from a webpage, then use the right-click workflow to start a check from the browser.

Review

Inspect verdict, confidence, reasoning, model agreement or disagreement, and source trail.

Decide

Use the result as a faster first pass, then slow down when sources are weak or context is missing.

What you see

More than a one-word verdict.

A useful fact-check should be inspectable. FactSentinel is designed to show the claim, the model reads, and the evidence trail so the answer can be challenged.

Evidence Trail

  • Source links and citations
  • Short reasoning
  • Caveats when context is thin

Model Read

  • Verdict and confidence
  • Agreement or disagreement
  • Signals to inspect manually

Workflow Fit

  • Chrome extension
  • Web checker fallback
  • Optional Auto-Protection scans
Field note

Why useful AI fact-checking shows disagreement.

A confidence score can make an answer feel settled before the evidence is inspectable. Read the product principle behind FactSentinel's model split, caveats, and source-trail design.

FAQ

Common questions

Is FactSentinel a replacement for professional fact-checkers?

No. FactSentinel is a first-pass checking workflow. It helps structure a claim, surface sources, and show model agreement or disagreement so a human reviewer can inspect the evidence.

Does FactSentinel only work on news articles?

No. You can check claims from articles, blogs, forums, newsletters, and many other web pages where you can select or copy text.

What does model agreement mean?

FactSentinel can compare independent model reads. Agreement can be useful, but it is not proof by itself. The sources and reasoning still matter.

What is BYOK?

BYOK means Bring Your Own Keys. It is designed for users who want more control over their AI provider credentials and request path.
