Our Solution – FactGuard AI

An Agentic-AI powered misinformation early-warning and fact-checking platform that autonomously detects, verifies, and explains misinformation in real time, with a focus on India-specific challenges.

Core Features

Continuous Multi-Source Monitoring

• Scans news portals, social media (Twitter/X, YouTube transcripts), and WhatsApp forwards (via crowdsourcing).
• Real-time ingestion and analysis of text, images, and video content.

Multilingual Support

• Coverage across English, Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati, Tamil, and other Indian languages.
• Automatic translation and response generation to make fact-checks accessible nationwide.

Emerging Misinformation Detection

• Uses NLP and trend analysis to identify suspicious, fast-spreading claims.
• Detects anomalies in virality and linguistic patterns (e.g., sudden spikes in “garlic cures COVID”).

Fact Verification Engine

• Cross-references claims with trusted authorities: WHO, ICMR, PIB Fact Check, Election Commission.
• Employs knowledge graphs, stance detection, and media forensics (reverse image search, deepfake checks).

Credibility Score (0–100)

• Each claim is assigned a trust score based on evidence strength, source reliability, and propagation anomalies

Contextual Citizen-Friendly Updates

• Generates clear explanations of why a claim is false instead of just labeling it.
• Example: During COVID-19, could flag “garlic cures coronavirus” claims, verify against ICMR advisories, and issue corrections in Hindi/English.
• Example: During elections, flags fake images/quotes of candidates circulating in Marathi or Hindi, pushing factual context within minutes.

Human-in-the-Loop Verification

• Analysts get an internal dashboard to review AI outputs, adjust scores, and approve public updates.
• Feedback loop ensures continuous learning and accuracy improvement.

Prototype Website Features

• Public Dashboard – trending rumors, real-time credibility scores, and crisis alerts.
• Fact-Check Feed – searchable archive of claims with evidence and verdicts.
• Ask/Report Interface – citizens can submit suspicious claims for AI verification.
• Subscription Alerts – users receive push/email/WhatsApp notifications for critical misinformation debunks.
• Admin Dashboard – fact-checker tools for claim review, knowledge-base management, and analytics.

Vision

Our long-term vision is to build an “information radar” for society — where autonomous AI agents continuously track and neutralize misinformation as fast as it spreads. By ensuring multilingual coverage, explainable AI outputs, and citizen-friendly alerts, FactGuard AI aims to strengthen public trust, safeguard communities, and make truth travel as fast as falsehoods.
