Hello Product Hunt Community 👋,
I’m Graham Stirling-Moffet, co-founder of The Record.
The Record is a new media company built on a transparent truth engine that verifies claims with leading AI models and community review.
The Problem We're Solving (And why it matters now)
Trust in media is at all time lows. It’s incredibly hard to figure out what is true and who is trustworthy on the internet, and this problem is only getting worse with the rise of AI-generated content. You deserve a better signal-to-noise ratio.
How The Record Solves this Problem💡
1. Check the Truth of Any Claim: Users can submit any claim to to see how true it is via our website or Chrome Extension. Our council of LLMs immediately evaluates the truthfulness from 0-100% True. If users disagree, they can submit their own scores and evidence. If enough users agree with them, the score shifts, making it a crowdsourced truth.
2. Trust Battery: When a source has enough claims, we aggregate their truth scores into a “Trust Battery” to show you historically how trustworthy that source has been.
3. Weekly Narratives: Every week we look at the most discussed topics on the internet and distill them down into their most accurate narrative for you to read. You can trust what you’re reading because every claim in our newsletter has a score of >90% True (scored by Grok, Gemini, OpenAI), with a transparent mechanism for users to correct the scores.
In short, The Record is here to deliver you media you can trust. We help you figure out the truth by giving every claim a verifiable truth score and every source a measurable track record of credibility.
Rise above the noise and get closer to the truth.

Graham, building media on a transparent truth engine is a bold and needed direction. How does the 'Trust Battery' handle evolving sources—like when a previously reliable outlet breaks trust on a big story?
@olajiggy321 thanks for the question!
The trust batteries are updated with claims from sources over time, so they act as a (near) real time indicator of the sources trustworthiness. So to use your example, if that outlet were to publish something incorrect, it would be incorporated into that sources trust battery which would lower their score. Does that make sense?
@graham14
Thanks for clarifying—real‑time updates make sense.
I have a small, practical idea related to the Trust Battery that your team could test on your own.
If you're open to a suggestion, what's the best way to share it
Read the article on microplastics and it was the most fact-based and balanced article on the topic that I have come across - all the while remaining very readable.
Can't wait to try out the chrome extension to fact-check more of what I read!
Finally, a tool that actually clarifies the narrative. The Narratives/Newsletter brings incredibly solid analysis, but the browser extension is the killer feature for me.
I used it to fact-check recent updates on the Ukraine war and was shocked by the amount of false info out there. The Record helps me spot the truth instantly. This is exactly what the internet needs right now. 🙌
