🚩 The Origin Story
RealityCheck.AI was born from one too many “next-gen AI-powered synergy ecosystems” and a healthy disdain for gaslighting texts, shady ads, and VC theater.
The mission:
Use AI to call out BS — from scammy pitches to manipulative messages — and do it with style.
No more reading between the lines. We highlight them.
🧱 Stack Highlights
- Frontend: React 18, Vite, Tailwind CSS
- Animations: Framer Motion (for those spicy transitions)
- AI Backbone: Groq’s LLaMA 3.1 8B
- Workflow Logic: Bolt.new + structured prompt chaining
- Extras: TypeScript, Radix UI, custom JSON extractors
