Yooo this is sick


Yea, that was for our devs to test out stuff before pushing out, we forgot to disable it.


I can confirm


Thank you!


Yea ok, eliminating misinformation is what we want to eventually do. But what we can sell is something that eliminates human errors (the backend also allows for that).


I think you could provide good things to Wikipedia with your tool. For instance, I recently read that earth spinning make earth 10^7 kg heavier. While the principle is corrShow HN: I'm 16 and building an AI based startup c... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40222051ect (energy is mass), the source is really weak and it can easily be found that earth mass uncertainty is about 10^20 kg. Which make the whole point useless.

I challenged your AI on this thematic : "a spring weight heavier when compressed", or "earth spinning make it heavier". Both results tell me it's not true despite it being correct (E=mc2).

I admit I'm cherrypicking, because it does say croissant is not French. But can I trust it blindly? That's why you must provide sources. It's valuable to have sources when we talk about truth.

good job anyway, keep working on what you like


Yea, that's why we also added in an grammar checker, even if they dont care about facts, they can get something better than gram marly that checks for way more for way less.


Yes, we checked it out, it seems pretty cool. What we aim to do, is creating a software that will check for everything, not just grammar or factuality. There is nothing in the market like it



Yea, thank you for the feedback, as its a beta deployment that's what we want, people finding bugs so we can fix everything for the full launch.


yes, we are working on it. But currently you can check each source by pressing the little i on the popup


Yea we are working on it. It is a thing that we are trying to fix, it giving too much or too little suggestions.


This is impressive for someone who is 16. My Two cents would be to add a short demo. A 30 second gif or video with accompanying text that explains how to use this. Just some kind of demonstration on how your interface works and what to expect the output to look like. And secondly to possibly help with the over suggestion/under suggestion issue, the grammar and writing assistance should be a separate mode from the fact checker.

Again, I would love to know more about how this works in the sense of how does it determine facts, and as you alluded to in other comments how it avoids political opinions.

Thanks for sharing.


ALso keep in mind that if you get a huge box full of text it's getting cut out by the UI and you can't reach the buttons!
