Stop misinformation
before you hit retweet
Vidocq fact-checks any tweet in seconds — revealing verdicts, confidence scores, and sources so you never share fake news again.
Misinformation spreads faster than truth
MIT research shows fake news travels six times faster than accurate information. A single retweet can spread a lie to thousands of people in minutes — damaging reputations, fueling panic, and eroding public trust.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about Vidocq.
Vidocq uses state-of-the-art AI models (GPT-4o, Claude, Gemini) to analyze claims. Every verdict includes a confidence score and cited sources so you can verify the evidence yourself. No AI is perfect — that's why we show you the reasoning and let you make the final call.
Vidocq works best on tweets containing factual claims, statistics, and references to events. Tweets that are purely opinion or satire are flagged as "Unverifiable" so you know the AI didn't try to force a verdict.
All fact-checks are processed on our servers and saved to your account so you can review them on your dashboard. Your API keys are stored securely and never shared. Only you can see your history and settings. Your privacy is our priority.
