What This Skill Does
Verifies claims by searching professional fact-checking organizations worldwide, fetching full articles, and synthesizing verdicts across multiple sources. Fact-checkers are selected based on the content's language, geographic context, and subject matter. When content is too recent for professional verification, it notes this and offers preliminary findings from general sources.
Cross-references multiple professional fact-checking organizations with regional and language matching, rather than relying on a single source or raw web search, which reduces the chance of missing conflicting verdicts or local context.
When to use it
- Checking whether a viral social media post is misinformation before sharing
- Verifying a politician's statement during an election
- Investigating a health claim about vaccines or medications
- Fact-checking an article about climate change or scientific topics
- Confirming whether a historical event is described accurately in online content
Example Workflow
Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.
User asks: Is it true that 5G towers spread COVID-19?
- 1Fetches the Wikipedia list of fact-checking websites to identify credible, non-fraudulent services
- 2Selects 4-5 fact-checkers based on the user's language and the claim's international scope
- 3Searches each fact-checker via DuckDuckGo site: queries using terms like '5G COVID' and '5G coronavirus'
- 4Fetches full text of the most relevant articles from each fact-checker
- 5Synthesizes verdicts and evidence into a structured response with direct citations
A summary of fact-checker consensus showing the claim is false, with specific verdicts and evidence from each organization, and links to source articles
