Fact Checker Application

Overview

Fact Checker is a web application powered by OpenAI and Google Fact Check Tools. The application verifies the authenticity of user input statements by comparing them with a database of fact-checked claims.

Features

• User input validation
• Fetching and preprocessing of fact checks from Google Fact Check Tools
• Generation of a verdict based on the collected fact checks using OpenAI

How it works

The user enters a statement into a text field and submits it. The app then makes a request to the Google Fact Check Tools API to retrieve fact checks related to the statement. The fact checks are then preprocessed to present the information in a readable format. The preprocessed fact checks are displayed and also sent to OpenAI to generate a verdict, which is then displayed to the user.
