ClaimCircle - Fact-check anything instantly by circling it

ClaimCircle helps you fact-check claims on the web by simply circling them. Skip the tab-switching, manual searching, and copy-pasting into ChatGPT or Google. Get evidence-grounded verdicts with source links in the same tab, so you can stay focused on what you were watching, reading, or doing.

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Rishi, the maker of ClaimCircle. The idea came from a habit I'm sure a lot of us have: seeing a viral claim, wanting to verify it, and then... not bothering because it means opening another tab, searching Google or ChatGPT, reading through multiple sources, and eventually forgetting what you were doing in the first place. I started wondering whether misinformation spreads partly because fact-checking has too much friction. Not because people don't care, but because the easiest thing to do is keep scrolling. So I built ClaimCircle. Instead of copying and pasting text into another app, you simply circle a claim on any webpage. Within a few seconds, it brings back evidence-grounded context, verdicts, and source links right there on the page, so you never lose your place. It's still early, and I'm actively improving it based on feedback. I'd genuinely love to hear what you think. A few questions I'd love your thoughts on: * Does this solve a problem you actually face? * What would make you trust a tool like this? * Are there any websites or workflows you'd like it to support better? Thanks for checking it out! I'm happy to answer any questions or hear any criticism.

Does it work on any website or only certain ones, like just news articles or also stuff like YouTube videos and social posts?

The circle gesture feels so natural, almost like highlighting a word but way more useful. Verified a sketchy stat from a YouTube video in seconds without leaving the page, which honestly sold me on it.

Finally a fact-check tool that does not make me leave whatever I was reading. Circled a claim in a YouTube comment and got sources in like two seconds, which felt almost too easy.

Circling text to fact-check without leaving the page is genuinely useful, especially when watching long videos or reading articles. The verdicts came back quick with source links right there, which I appreciated more than I expected.

the circle gesture is such a natural fit for this kind of tool, feels way less clunky than opening a new tab every time you spot something suspicious. nice execution on keeping everything in one view
