Inspiration
We wanted to leverage the use of AI to create a real-time, convenient fact checker to curb misinformation and encourage people to be more wary of the media that they consume.
What it does
It's a google chrome extension that fact-checks any news article on command using Google Gemini-3, creating a short summary about the accuracy of the facts in the news as well as possible detected biases.
How we built it
We built a JavaScript program using the Gemini-3 API to analyze a news article on command, prompting it to give a summary of the accuracy of the facts as well as detected biases.
Challenges we ran into
The problem we mainly had was with prompting our API properly to give us the result that we wanted, we also had trouble figuring out how we would make it as accessible as we wanted, we eventually figured out how to debug these issues.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
The usability of the end product and its conciseness is what we're most proud of, it presents a very digestible summary so the user can gain a general idea of the news article, while also encouraging the reader to look more into the media themselves.
What's next for Real Time Fact Checker
In the future we plan to leverage several LLMs and create a summary synthesizing their analyses to give a more accurate end product to our user.
