AI source checker

Check AI-generated sources before you trust the claim.

FactSentinel helps reviewers inspect AI-assisted claims with source links, reasoning, caveats, confidence, and model disagreement in one browser workflow.

Why source checks matter

Confident AI wording can hide weak evidence.

AI-written summaries, citations, quotes, and draft claims can look finished even when the source trail is thin, circular, or missing. A useful review pass keeps the claim and evidence visible before anyone accepts the answer.

Check the exact claim

Start with the wording you want to verify, not a softened paraphrase that changes the evidence burden.

Inspect sources

Look for source links, citation context, caveats, and whether the evidence actually supports the claim.

Use disagreement

Model disagreement is a signal to slow down, not a failure. It shows where a human review needs to focus.

Good fits

Use it when AI output needs receipts.

The source-checking workflow is built for readers who need to decide whether an AI-assisted claim is ready to share, cite, teach, edit, or publish.

AI citations

Workflow

Highlight, check, then challenge the result.

Use the Chrome extension from the page you are reading, or paste a claim into the web checker. FactSentinel surfaces verdict, confidence, reasoning, model split, caveats, and source links so the answer can be challenged.

Field note

Why a source checker should show disagreement.

A single confidence number can make weak evidence feel settled. The stronger pattern is to keep model disagreement, caveats, reasoning, and sources visible together.

FAQ

Common questions

What is an AI source checker?

It is a review workflow for checking whether an AI-assisted claim has a source trail that can be inspected. FactSentinel shows sources, reasoning, caveats, confidence, and model disagreement for human review.

Can it prove every citation is real?

No. It is a first-pass tool. Use weak sources, missing links, conflicting model reads, or caveats as signals to verify manually before publishing or sharing.

Should I use the web checker or Chrome extension?

Use the web checker for pasted claims. Use the Chrome extension when you want to highlight text from an article, document, newsletter, search result, or source page.

Check the source trail before the claim spreads.

Use FactSentinel when AI-assisted text includes claims, citations, or sources that need a visible review trail.
