Fact Checker Extension

Instantly fact check information, using Perplexity's API.

• How It Works:

First and foremost, you'll need to have a Perplexity Pro account.

Then, head to Settings > API > Copy your API key

Once you have the key copied, you need to:

1. Open the extension popup and input the key there.
2. Highlight any text on a webpage that you want to fact-check.
3. Right-click and select \"Fact Check with AI\" from the context menu.
4. A small window will appear on the page with the fact-check results, including:
- Truth Percentage
- Fact Check Summary
- Contextual Information
- Source Citations

• The tool's good for:

- Students researching for assignments
- Journalists verifying information
- Casual internet users curious about the accuracy of online content
- Professionals fact-checking industry-specific claims
- Anyone who values truth and accuracy in information

• Privacy and Data Use:

The extension only sends the highlighted text and the current page URL to the Perplexity API for fact-checking. No personal data is collected or stored.

• Technical Requirements:

- Works with Google Chrome browser
- Requires an internet connection for API access
- Users need to provide their own Perplexity API key (requires a Perplexity Pro subscription)

• Support and Feedback:

This tool is a one-man band gig, so any suggestions would massively help!

• Disclaimer:

While the tool strives for the highest accuracy, the fact-checking results are based on the current information available to the AI model. I encourage you to critically evaluate the provided information and sources.
