Hey Product Hunt 👋
I’m the co-founder of TrueStory.
Short-form video platforms like Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts and TikTok have become one of the biggest sources of information online. The problem is that the same algorithms that maximize engagement also maximize misinformation.
Fact-checking a viral video usually means:
• leaving the app
• searching the claim manually
• reading multiple sources
Most people simply don’t do it.
So we built TrueStory.
It’s an AI tool that analyzes a video, extracts the main claims and checks them against available information to give you a clear verdict.
How it works:
1. Send a video link (Reels, TikTok, Shorts)
2. AI extracts the claims from the video
3. TrueStory checks them and returns a verdict with explanations
The goal is simple: make fact-checking as easy as watching the video.
I’d love to hear your feedback:
• What features would you want in a tool like this?
• Would you use it for news, education, or content moderation?
Thanks for checking it out 🙌
