Know what to trust online.
FactScope is a free, AI-powered browser extension that helps you instantly verify if a news article, social media post, or image is trustworthy — right where you're reading it. No extra tabs, no sign-ups, no technical knowledge needed.
Misinformation spreads faster than ever. Fake news looks real. AI-generated images are nearly indistinguishable from photos. Misleading posts go viral before anyone can verify them.
Most people don't have the time or tools to fact-check everything they see online.
FactScope sits quietly in your browser. When something looks off, click the extension and get an instant trust assessment — with a clear explanation of why.
No jargon. No dashboards. Just a straight answer.
