Combining natural intelligence with artificial intelligence
We combine artificial and natural intelligence in order to facilitate rapid identification of discrepancies. To gain the upper hand in opinion-forming, we have three pillars of assistance
- Trust Score - the most advanced investigative methods based on AI
- Community Score - where technology reaches its limits, human intuition and sensitivity comes into play
- Bias Score - News has an aftertaste - we'll tell you which one
With our pioneering real-time AI detection of fake news and our unique user-based rating system, we put society back in control when it comes to staying informed and forming an opinion.
trust Score
A guide for the news landscape

community Score
