Fact-check any statement with source-backed, multi-model AI

Lenz is an AI fact-checker. Paste any claim and Lenz searches for independent sources, has multiple AI models argue both sides and a separate AI panel review the evidence before reaching a scored verdict — with every source and argument and step of the process visible to you. Most AI tools give you one model's best guess from memory. Lenz orchestrates a multi-model research system based on real sources so no single model's blind spots drive the conclusion.

Curious how Lenz handles claims that keep evolving - like the debate around AI code quality. I keep seeing conflicting takes: some say AI writes cleaner code, others say it introduces more bugs.
@vichod Specifically about subjects evolving over time: One of the things we identify during the first step of the process (claim framing) is the time-sensitivity of the claim, and we periodically rerun the analysis for some of the more time-sensitive published claims and update the results. No special treatment for claims that are particularly contentious (such as whether AI writes clean code or not) -- they follow the same pipeline process. The whole concept of Lenz is to strip the emotions and biases and look only at the facts regardless of the topic.
P.S. My personal opinion on AI code quality is that it depends on who guides the AI :) It can and it does write high-quality code, and it's much easier to ensure high test coverage with the use of AI. Opus was instrumental for building Lenz.
Hi PH, Vicky here (co-founder, non-tech side)
Sharing a bit more on the “why” behind Lenz.
We didn’t build it for obvious fake news, they are easy to spot - we built it for the convincing stuff that sounds right. The kind you don’t think to question.
Misinformation moves faster than fact-checking. Most fact-checkers publish a handful of articles a week, while a single claim you stumble upon online can take 30+ minutes and 20+ tabs to research.
Lenz is, in a way, the tool I wish I didn’t need.
Unexpected side effect: I argue less with my teenagers 😄 Instead of “that’s not true” → “let’s check it.”
Curious to hear what you think.
