Debates
Town halls, on-air panels, the head-to-head. Claims surface with sources while the exchange is still going, so the follow-up lands on air, not the next day.
Real‑time fact‑checking
Groundery listens to the debate, interview, or stream, pulls every factual claim as it's spoken, and checks it against the sources you trust — while it's still on air.

01How it works
From spoken to sourced, while they're still talking.
Groundery listens to the feed, pulls each factual claim as the sentence ends, and checks it against your sources — the whole loop closes in seconds, not the next morning.

01Listen
A microphone, a browser tab, or a stream URL. Groundery transcribes the feed as it plays, speaker by speaker.
02Pull the claim
The moment a sentence ends, every checkable statement in it is extracted — with the exact words and the timestamp they were said at.
03Check it
Each claim is verified against the sources you chose and shown with its evidence. The card lands while the segment is still on.

The room, the tab, or the stream — the same session, the same claim cards. No capture rig, no integration project.

03Your sources
Verify with sources you trust.
Trust starts with where the evidence comes from. Point a session at the whole web, restrict it to sources you trust, or exclude the ones you don't — set once, before the first claim is spoken.

04Built for the moment
When the audience is biggest.
A claim travels furthest in the minutes after it's said. Groundery is built for exactly those minutes.
Interviews
When the guest goes off-script, the producer sees the claim, the verdict, and the sources before the anchor has moved on to the next question.
Election nights
Results, analysts, and the biggest audience of the year. Groundery keeps pace with the desk while millions are watching.
Live shows and streams
A live podcast, a stream, a call-in. Check what's being said as it's said — yours or a guest's — and keep the timestamped moment for the cut.
05Common questions
Questions, answered.
How fast does a live check come back?+
Claims are pulled as each sentence finishes and verified right after. A card usually lands while the speaker is still on the same topic — seconds to about a minute, depending on how much evidence there is to read. Not hours, and not the next morning.
What can I connect to a live session?+
A microphone, any browser tab that's playing audio, or a stream URL — YouTube Live, Twitch, Vimeo, or any embeddable feed. It works on debates, interviews, live podcasts, and broadcasts alike.
AI hallucinates. How can you use it to fact-check?+
We built our fact-checking platform to be search-first, not AI-first. We begin by finding authoritative sources about a claim and only then summarize the results. Every fact-check includes a full list of direct sources as supporting evidence, so reviewers can click through and verify the information themselves.
What is a trusted source?+
We prioritize the most authoritative sources available for each claim, including official government websites, peer-reviewed journals, major research institutions, and established media outlets. All sources we use are provided so you can review them directly.
How do you decide what is "accurate"?+
We don’t. Instead, we look for information from authoritative sources and summarize what we find, helping you understand whether a claim has supporting evidence or not. The accuracy score simply reflects how closely the claim matches the sources we found.
Go live with the facts.
Every claim pulled as it’s said, checked against the sources you picked, and on your screen while it still matters.
