Research-backed AI tools for fact-checking, democratic discourse and scientific understanding
Transforming Society Through Fact-Checking & Open Source AI Tools
Transparent Tools for Critical Challenges
Open Source Fact-Checker
Our flagship tool for automated verification of climate and scientific claims, built on transparent AI technology and reliable sources. Read the research.
Habermas Machine for Citizen Participation
We plan, set up, and incorporate Google DeepMind's Habermas Machine, an AI mediator shown in a peer-reviewed Science study to help divided groups find common ground, into citizen participation and deliberation processes.
AI Dialogues Against Conspiracy Beliefs
We plan and deploy fact-based AI dialogue interventions, grounded in peer-reviewed research showing personalized, evidence-based conversations can durably reduce conspiracy beliefs, for organizations tackling misinformation at scale.
Democratic Discourse Research
We research how AI-powered platforms can promote balanced discussions and diverse viewpoints in public discourse, and prototype tools based on that research.
Climate Communication Research
We research and develop early-stage tools for climate science communication and stakeholder engagement, in collaboration with the researchers named on this page.
Misinformation Analysis
Evidence-based research on understanding and addressing conspiracy beliefs and misinformation, feeding into the tools we build.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I contribute to the open-source tools?
You can contribute through our GitHub repository, whether through code, documentation, or testing. We welcome contributions from developers of all experience levels.
What makes your AI tools transparent?
Our tools are open-source, allowing anyone to inspect, verify, and improve the code. We also provide detailed documentation about our methodologies and data sources.
How do you ensure the reliability of fact-checking?
We use peer-reviewed research and collaborate with expert researchers to validate our approaches. Our fact-checking process is documented and open for review.
Can these tools be used by organizations?
Yes, our tools are designed to be used by organizations, researchers, and individuals. We provide documentation and support for implementation.
What is the Habermas Machine, and did you build it?
The Habermas Machine is an AI mediation system developed by Google DeepMind and studied in a peer-reviewed Science paper. We didn't build it; we plan, set up, and incorporate it into citizen participation and deliberation processes for organizations that want to use it responsibly, including the parts it doesn't cover on its own, like fact-checking and topic moderation.
Can you help us deploy AI dialogue tools to counter conspiracy beliefs or misinformation?
Yes. Building on peer-reviewed research showing that personalized, fact-based AI dialogues can durably reduce conspiracy beliefs, we help organizations plan and deploy this kind of intervention, with an emphasis on what the research shows actually drives the effect: accurate, well-sourced, individualized evidence, not persuasive framing alone.
