Factward

What Factward is

Factward checks text by extracting factual claims and comparing them with web sources. Users can submit text, URLs, or PDFs. Its AI model looks for verifiable statements and filters out opinions, predictions, and subjective statements; it retrieves up to five independent sources for each claim. Reports label claims Supported, Conflicting Sources, Refuted, or Insufficient Evidence, and provide confidence, reasoning, linked sources, and a Trust Score. Factward also tracks when claims may become stale and signals when to verify them again. A bookmarklet sends article text for checking, and the Pro API can be used in a CMS or publishing pipeline. Its beta Chrome extension highlights claims with verdicts and evidence, including selected text from the context menu. Factward says submissions are used to produce results and are not sold or shared with third parties, while verification jobs and reports are stored in its database. Niche, paywalled, or very recent claims may lack evidence, and the classifier can misinterpret snippets or nuanced claims. Free allows two verifications per day; Pro costs $9 a month.
