Live interviews
When an anchor interviews a politician or guest, Groundery surfaces checkable claims as they're said and keeps the timestamped clip ready for the follow-up or the post.
Election coverage
On election night and through live results, Groundery keeps pace with anchors and analysts — surfacing claims with sources while millions are watching.
Speeches & press conferences

In the field
For reporters working a story: upload interviews, hearings, debates, or clips and get every checkable claim matched to primary sources you can cite.

06Common questions
A few questions we often get.
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.
