Inspiration
In today's information-rich society, the continuous surge of available information has also led to an increasing spread of misinformation, myths, and unverified claims. For instance, the Covid-19 pandemic highlighted this issue vividly, with false claims about treatments and vaccines proliferating widely on social media.
What it does
Traditional fact-checking methods are manual and labour-intensive, relying heavily on human experts. Our solution automates this process by by replicating workflows of the expert fact-checkers. By automating research and verification, we provide rapid, reliable responses to user-submitted claims.
How we built it
By harnessing the powerful reasoning capabilities of OpenAI's GPT-4o-mini multimodal, and employing a thoughtfully crafted agentic workflow, we equip our agents with essential tools, including GoogleSearchAPI, PubMedAPI and ArxivAPI. These tools enable agents to gather up-to-date information efficiently. Additionally, we developed a streamlined and user-friendly frontend using React.js and Vite, alongside a robust backend powered by FastAPI and SpringBoot, enabling users to effortlessly submit claims and receive rapid responses.
