Alex Suscha
Hey Product Hunt!!👋 My name is Alex Suscha, and I am an 18-year-old student entrepreneur from Wisconsin. Nine months ago, I started my journey of becoming a student entrepreneur. Since then, I've dealt with countless hardships, setbacks, and rejections. I've had dozens of people say I was too young and lacked the experience to start a business. But I persevered. Why? Because I was confident that I had an idea that could change the world. Online misinformation is becoming one of the biggest issues in the world today, yet almost nothing is being done about it. Polarizing and manipulative news stories are spreading like wildfire, and the rise of AI deepfakes and AI-generated articles is making it impossible to verify fact from fiction. This is even more cataclysmic during an election year when we NEED accurate information to make smarter decisions about who we elect and about our world as a whole. That’s why we’ve developed Sourcer AI – the AI-powered tool that makes fact-checking fast and easy. 👉Instantly Determine the Reputability and Bias of News Articles 👉Upgrade Your Media Literacy Skills 👉Verify Your Sources Get trustworthy news today! ✅ I hope you enjoy this tool! I’d love to hear your feedback in the comments!
@alex_sourcerai Cheers to a successful launch! Wishing you impactful and rewarding experiences. What feature are you most proud of?
Alex Suscha
@kjosephabraham Genuinely love your question! What am I most proud of? Wow... I don't know where to start ^^. Honestly, the "feature" I'm most proud of isn't really a "feature", it's the fact that we got our product up and running! As an 18-year-old student entrepreneur, this was my FIRST time doing all of this, and there were so many moments where I thought it was over, that I couldn't start my own business. But I persevered, and here we are today! I am so thankful for the resilience of my team and my network around me. Let me know if you have any more questions or comments!

@alex_sourcerai Well done. Congrats on the launch!
Narmina Balabayli
That would be a great tool for content writers. Curious who will use Sourcer AI the most. Good luck with the launch.🥳
Alex Suscha
@narminablb That's an incredible question! We've done a LOT of research on our part to try and determine that exact thing! Honestly, anyone can use Sourcer AI! We all deserve factual information - no matter your age or demographic! I'm curious to hear your opinion, who do you think will use Sourcer AI the most! Thank you for the kind words!
Narmina Balabayli
@alex_sourcerai That's correct, your target audience is wide. You will find your niche + ICP. How data is collected? using reputable websites like ResearchGate, Google Scholar?
Alex Suscha
@narminablb Thank you for the follow-up! We've used a database of over 30,000 articles to train Sourcer AI, and a key factor of our training was to make sure we are training our models on REPUTABLE sources. We are still just releasing our beta stage though, so we will be working on improving the accuracy of our product every day. With additional funding, we can work with research institutions to help base our fact-checker on the most factual information possible.
Narmina Balabayli
@alex_sourcerai awesome. I'll be keeping an eye on your product to see how it evolves.
Alex Suscha
@narminablb Fantastic! I deeply appreciate your interest! We will make sure to stay active and easy to reach!

Great work, Alex! Congrats on the launch of Sourcer AI! This is gonna be super helpful in this digital age where misinformation and fake news are floating everywhere;) While you evaluate the reliability of a news, do you provide any supporting evidence so users can dig into the details of where to find related and more trustworthy info?
Alex Suscha
@kehui_guo Amazing comment! Thank you so much for your input! We are absolutely looking at adding a feature where users can find related articles with different viewpoints and credibility. We intend to stay very active and vocal with our community in the days after our launch, so stay tuned for an update coming soon with the exact feature that you outlined! While we are a small team, we will do our absolute best to implement feedback from the community!

Hey Alex! Excellent job here. Fact-checker can change the current AI game bringing a powerful tool to face the misinformation. Hope everybody can see this. Cheers!

@german_merlo1 Thank you so much Germán! Your kind words mean a lot to me!!
Jack Michalak
Hey Alex, congrats on the launch. This is definitely something we need more of, but how are you going to convince users that you (and your sources) are trustworthy? So many people will just believe what they want to believe, unfortunately.
Alex Suscha
@jack_michalak Hey Jack, have to say, I absolutely love this comment! You've asked an amazing question. How users are going to trust if we are accurate is something that's been on my mind since the day I started this company. Convincing users of our trustworthiness is about demonstrating our commitment to transparency, accuracy, and integrity consistently. We intend to do that by being transparent about how we fact-check articles, by engaging in the community and being open to community feedback, and by taking an educational approach with our product. We look to grow and improve our product alongside our users. As for people believing what they want to believe, this is a totally justified point, but I believe there are a lot of people out there still that are not a fan of this politically polarized world we live in that just want an accurate way to verify information.
Jack Michalak
@alex_sourcerai Thank you for the thoughtful response. I am rooting for you, we need more people caring about the truth!
Alex Suscha
@jack_michalak Of course! If you know of anyone also interested in finding truth, send them to us!
Kyrylo Silin
Hey Alex, this is a really timely tool given the rise of misinformation online. How does Sourcer AI determine the reputability of an article? Are there specific sources or databases it cross-references with? Congrats on the launch!
Alex Suscha
@kyrylosilin Hey Kyrylo, awesome question! Our political bias and reputability rating uses a multifaceted approach when it comes to fact-checking. We use a mixture of a large language model and Chat GPT that is trained on our database of over 30,000 + news articles (though we did not highlight specific sources to cross-reference with, we had ideas for that in mind, but we didn't want to be breaking any commercial use laws.) In the end, our analysis takes into consideration the text of the article, the credibility of the author, the citations present (or lack thereof), the overall reputability of the source, and more! Did you have any more questions or points of interest?
Andriy Semenets
Hey, congrats on the launch! Could you elaborate a bit more on how the "Reputability and Bias of News Articles" works? Does it use some sort of LLM evaluation to get the score, or does it use some other mechanics?
Alex Suscha
@semanser Hey Andriy, excellent question! We use two LLMs to run our evaluations. These models deeply analyze the text to determine the tone of the article, the content being presented, the credibility of the sources brought up, the reputability of the source as a whole, and a lot more. We've trained Sourcer AI on our database of over 30,000 articles to make it as sharp as possible! Let me know if you have any other questions! I welcome any type of feedback.
