What it does
Perfect for: • Documentary skeptics 🎬 • News junkies 📰 • Students researching 📚 • Anyone tired of misinformation 🚫 How it works: - Install the Chrome extension - Add your API key (OpenAI, Anthropic, or OpenRouter — free tiers work!) - Pick your search source (Tavily, Exa, Perplexity, Brave) Open any YouTube video — fact checks appear automatically Why it's different: ✅ Works on livestreams and normal videos ✅ Bring your own API keys = full control, lower cost ✅ Use free tiers = $0 to run

Hello Hacker News community, I've been developing a simple Chrome extension designed to assist journalists and researchers or learners in their YouTube investigations. You can swiftly identify specific segments within a video using semantic searches, powered by the OpenAI API. This transforms hours of potential scrubbing into moments of precision seeking. Whether you're sifting through extensive interviews, press conferences, and event footage on YouTube, or you require a quote from a video source, This extension is a handy tool. It also aids in quickly fact-checking statements made in…

Hey HN, we're a YC startup building an open-source, privacy-first alternative to Perplexity Comet. No invite system unlike bunch of others – you can download it today from our website or GitHub: https://github.com/browseros-ai/BrowserOS --- Why bother building an alternative? We believe browsers will become the new operating systems, where we offload much bunch of our work to AI agents. But these agents will have access to all your sensitive data – emails, docs, on top of your browser history. Open-source, privacy-first alternatives need to exist. We're not a search or ad…
- FRFactifi – Real-Time Fact-Checking Content2025 · chromewebstore.google.com · ▲8
Hi HN — we built Factifi, a Chrome extension that does instant fact-checking on anything you’re reading or watching. Please keep in mind, this is just an MVP and will be buggy and fail. We were constantly pausing podcasts and Substack posts to ask, “Wait, is that actually true?”. After too many 30-minute Google rabbit holes, we decided to automate the work. What it does • Extracts claims from articles, blogs, YouTube videos (and even images) • Assigns a verdict + confidence score using live web search, a 200 M-paper research index, and a few proprietary datasets • Flags likely deepfakes and…

Hey HN! We’re a group of high school students who built Factful, a Chrome extension that helps with research, fact-checking, and writing—all inline. When we first launched Factful as a web app, we got a lot of feedback asking for a more integrated experience, so we built a Chrome extension to let you fact-check and look up information without switching tabs. Making this work inside Google Docs was way harder than expected. Since Docs renders text using a canvas instead of regular HTML, we had to come up with creative workarounds to analyze and interact with what’s being written. It took a…

With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
