About FactCheck AI
An experimental AI-powered fact-checking tool designed for educational and research purposes.
Important Disclaimer
This tool is for educational and research purposes only. Results are provided "as is" without any warranties. The AI may make errors, miss context, provide incomplete analysis, return unexpected results, or misunderstand sources. Users should independently verify all information through authoritative sources and consult qualified professionals for important decisions.

Project Overview
FactCheck AI was created as a learning project to explore AI-powered fact-checking using large language models and real-time web search. The tool combines Hugging Face's Llama 3.1 8B model with retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), powered by LangChain, web search APIs, and vector database technology.
Note: This project is fully open source and experimental. You can find the code on GitHub via the link in the footer.
How It Works
AI Content Moderation
Claims are first screened by AI for inappropriate or unsafe content
Hybrid Search
Combines web search with vector database for similar claims
AI Fact-Checking
The Llama 3.1 8B model analyzes claims against sources and detects contradictions
Result Generation
Verdict, confidence score, reasoning, and results are stored for future reference
