What it does

Facty reads YouTube captions, pulls out the checkable claims and verifies each one with live web search. Verdicts pop up over the player as you watch - 5 levels instead of true/false, up to 5 source links per claim. Video in any language, verdicts in yours (the following languages are currently available: English, Russian, Spanish).

Chrome & Firefox extension: checks claims in YouTube videos as you watch and shows verdicts with sources. Free 30 minutes a month, no card needed.

Facty checks the claims in a video against independent sources and shows a verdict with links — right over the player, as you watch. Video in any language, verdicts in yours. Facty picks up YouTube captions on its own. No keys, no settings — just watch. It pulls out checkable claims, searches the web and cross-checks independent sources — piece by piece, while you watch. A card pops up over the player at the right moment; the full breakdown lives in the side report panel. For a fact-checker the big question is “why should we trust you?”. We answer with method, not promises. Facty doesn’t just “ask an AI if it’s true”. For every claim in the video it runs a web search and compares what it…from getfacty.com

    Hey HN! My name is Andrew, and I'm thrilled to share with you a project I've been working on called Factful. I'm a high school student with a passion for tackling misinformation online. Inspired by the need for more reliable content verification tools, I decided to create Factful. It's an AI-powered web app designed to revolutionize how individuals and organizations verify content. Unlike traditional grammar checkers, Factful provides a comprehensive analysis that goes beyond just grammar. It evaluates context, factuality, coherence, and more to ensure the accuracy and credibility of…

  • Factifi – 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 recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  • Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
