Show HN: TrueSift – AI-Powered Real-Time Fact-Checking Chrome Extension

1 terrib1e 0 7/17/2025, 9:15:34 PM truesift.dev ↗

Hey HN!

I got the idea for this during the Lovable AI competition and decided to turn it into a Chrome extension. TrueSift helps verify the accuracy of online content in real time.

What it does:

- Uses AI to analyze text on any page and highlight questionable claims. - Provides quick fact-check summaries and trusted sources without leaving the page. - Lightweight and privacy-conscious (no unnecessary data collection).

Why I built it: Misinformation spreads fast, and I wanted a tool that makes truth-checking effortless for readers, journalists, and researchers.

Try it out: truesift.dev

I’d love feedback on:

UX: Is the flow intuitive? Speed & Accuracy: Does it feel responsive? Features: What would make this more useful for you? It’s still an early build, so I’m open to suggestions!
