About Is it Fake?
Is it Fake? is a web-based fact-checking tool that assesses the credibility of online articles and YouTube videos. A user pastes a URL, and the service returns a trust score from 0 to 100% along with a breakdown of the claims it found, the sources it checked and a shareable verification report.
The analysis uses multiple AI models from Gemini, OpenAI and Anthropic to extract claims, cross-reference them against independent reporting from established outlets and databases, and check whether quoted citations exist and say what the article claims. For videos, the tool transcribes the content before extracting and verifying claims. Results can be shared through a unique link, and the site notes that its results are indicative rather than definitive.
The product is aimed at people who want to check content before sharing it, including newsrooms, fact-checkers, researchers, educators and trust and safety teams. A free tier allows a small number of checks without an account, with paid monthly plans for higher volumes.
