WizeUp: Fake News Hoax Check

WizeUp checks how trustworthy a news story is. Paste or open a link, or just ask about a claim, and AI tells you what holds up, how credible the sources are, and how differently the left and the right are reporting it.

HOW YOU CHECK SOMETHING

• Open or paste a link in WizeUp, then tap Fact-check this article

• Or type the claim into AI search and ask about it in plain language

• Or tap any story in the news feed to see the analysis already done for it

Checks run on the text of the page or on your question. WizeUp cannot read a screenshot or open a post inside another app for you.

WHAT THE ANALYSIS SHOWS

• Overall Trust Score, with a written explanation of why the story got that score

• Bias distribution: how many of the analyzed articles lean left, center or right

• Key facts, each with links to the sources they came from

• The list of articles the analysis is based on, so you can read them yourself

• Trust ratings per outlet, from Highly Credible to Low Credibility

FACT-CHECKING NEWS FEED

Daily trending stories, each analyzed by AI across multiple articles, sorted into decks:

• Sketchy — viral stories that lack credible sourcing or were debunked by fact-checkers

• Spicy — the same event told as two opposite stories by outlets on either side

• Blindspot — stories one political side covers heavily and the other ignores

• All and For You — everything, and a deck shaped by the topics you pick

AI CHAT ABOUT ANY PAGE

• Answers stream in and are saved as threads you can return to

AI SEARCH

• Voice input, follow-up suggestions, and ready-made prompts for fact-checked news, media bias, politics, markets, tech and science

GOOD TO KNOW

• Trust scores, bias analysis and fact-checks are generated by AI. They are a starting point for your own judgement, not a verdict — always read the linked sources.

• AI features send your question or the text of the page you are reading to our servers for processing, and require an internet connection.

• WizeUp uses analytics (Firebase and Mixpanel) to understand how the app is used. Details are in our Privacy Policy, available in Settings.

• Signing in with a phone number, Google or Facebook is required for AI chat, comments, and syncing your spaces across devices.

Requires Android 7.0 or later.
