Overview

CheckCheck is an AI-powered Telegram bot designed to combat misinformation in real time. With the rapid spread of false information, traditional fact-checking methods are often too slow to prevent damage. CheckCheck provides an instant verification system, allowing users to quickly assess the accuracy of forwarded messages and challenge misclassifications through community-driven validation.

Key Features

Instant Fact-Checking – Users can send images or text, and CheckCheck scans them against fact-checking databases. Community Verification – If flagged as inaccurate, users can start a community poll to reassess the classification. Automated Reclassification – After one hour, if the majority vote disagrees, the bot automatically updates the classification. Seamless Telegram Integration – Works in both private chats and groups to ensure misinformation is addressed where it spreads.
