AI accelerates journalism. Verification is what protects your credibility.
Verol adds an independent fact-checking layer to every AI-assisted research and drafting session.
AI tools are increasingly used in newsrooms for background research, initial drafts, and source summarization. But publishing inaccurate information — even information that originated from an AI — carries real reputational and legal consequences. A single fabricated quote or incorrect statistic can undermine the credibility of an entire piece.
The specific risks of AI inaccuracies for journalists
AI tools can generate plausible-sounding quotes attributed to real public figures — quotes that were never actually said.
Numbers, dates, and figures in AI-generated research summaries are particularly prone to subtle inaccuracies — wrong by a digit, a year, or a percentage point.
Background information provided by AI may reflect the situation as of its training cutoff, not the current state — leading to articles that include factually stale context.
AI tools sometimes attribute claims to incorrect sources — citing an organization or report that doesn't contain the stated finding.
How Verol helps journalists
Verol works in your browser alongside any AI tool you use for research. It extracts each verifiable factual claim — names, dates, statistics, attributions — and independently checks them against primary sources in real time. You see per-claim verdicts before you incorporate anything into your draft.
