Accelerate Misinformation Research
Studying the information ecosystem requires efficient tools for claim identification and analysis. FactSentinel provides AI-powered preliminary assessment to help researchers focus on what matters most.
All we have to believe with is our senses, the tools we use to perceive the world. But even our senses are a lie.
- Neil Gaiman, American Gods
In the study of misinformation, we grapple with fundamental questions about knowledge, belief, and perception. FactSentinel is built with epistemic humility - we show confidence levels, acknowledge uncertainty, and make our reasoning transparent. Our tool is a research assistant, not an oracle, designed to accelerate human inquiry rather than replace it.
Supporting Diverse Research Agendas
FactSentinel serves researchers across multiple disciplines studying information integrity.
Misinformation Studies
Track how false claims spread across platforms. Use Auto-Protection to flag potential misinformation during content analysis, speeding up the identification phase.
Cognitive Science
Study how people evaluate claims and make truth judgments. Compare human assessments with AI verdicts to understand belief formation and correction.
Computational Social Science
Integrate FactSentinel's API into larger data pipelines for automated preliminary screening of claims in social media datasets.
Political Communication
Analyze political discourse and campaign claims. Track narrative evolution and identify systematic patterns in political misinformation.

Research Domains We Support
FactSentinel is designed for researchers studying information ecosystems across fields.
Research-Grade Privacy
We understand the sensitivity of research data and offer privacy controls that meet institutional requirements.
🔒 BYOK Mode
Use your own API keys (OpenAI or Anthropic). In BYOK mode, we never see your queries - they go directly from your browser to the AI provider.
🏛️ IRB Compliance
BYOK mode ensures research queries aren't logged by our servers, helping meet IRB requirements for studies involving sensitive content.
📋 Transparent Logging
In Platform mode, we log queries for service improvement. In BYOK mode, only metadata (timestamps, not content) is logged. Full documentation available.
🛡️ No Third-Party Sharing
We never sell or share user data with third parties. Your research queries remain yours.
Advance Your Research
Join researchers using FactSentinel to accelerate misinformation studies. We welcome feedback from the academic community on how we can better serve your work.
