ShortFact

ShortFact is an AI-powered fact-checking tool for viral short-form videos from TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. It extracts claims from videos, verifies them against trusted web sources, and generates a report with source citations and trust ratings. It is designed for content creators, journalists, and the general public to quickly assess the accuracy of viral content. This is an independent third-party service and is not operated by the company behind the model it is built around.

How it works

ShortFact uses AI to extract claims from viral videos, then fact-checks each claim against trusted web sources. The analysis is completed in under 30 seconds, generating a comprehensive report with source citations and trust ratings. Each claim receives a verdict (green/yellow/red) based on supporting evidence, helping users identify false or misleading content.

Supported platforms

ShortFact supports all major short-form video platforms including TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. Users can share a video link to the app for instant analysis. The tool also builds public creator profiles showing aggregated verdict statistics to help establish credibility.

Who it is for

ShortFact is designed for content creators, journalists, and the general public. Content creators can verify their own videos before posting, journalists can fact-check viral claims, and the public can assess the accuracy of content they encounter. The tool is available on iOS, Android, and Web.

Pricing and availability

ShortFact operates on a credit-based system where 1 analysis equals 1 credit. Subscription plans start at $4.99/month for 10 credits, and one-time credit purchases are available. The app is launching soon, and users can join a waitlist for early access on iOS and Android.
