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.
Live 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.

Collagen helps with hair thickness.
Evidence does not support marketing claims that collagen supplements improve hair growth, volume, or thickness, and experts say definitive human evidence is lacking. A few reviews report modest benefits in mixed multi-ingredient products, but that does not show collagen itself makes hair thicker.

Any recording
MP3, WAV, M4A, MP4, MOV, a YouTube link, or a pasted transcript. An hour of audio comes back in minutes.
Your sources
Check against the whole web, only the sites you trust, or everything except the ones you don't. Set per session.
Every claim, timestamped
Each claim is pinned to the second it was said. Click it to hear the moment, read the evidence, then share or export the report.
05Built 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.
06Common 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.
Can I fact-check something that's already recorded?+
Yes. Drop an audio or video file (MP3, WAV, M4A, MP4, MOV), paste a YouTube link, or paste a transcript. You pick the sources it's checked against, and every claim comes back with a verdict, its evidence, and the timestamp it was said at.
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.
