Check a claim against its original source
Did an AI answer give you a claim that you need to verify?
What you will make
A claim marked either verified or not verified, with the exact source passage you checked yourself.
What you need
The claim you want to check, and access to the source it came from — a webpage, document, article or citation.
Before you start
Copy the claim exactly, including any name, number and date. Do not accept a citation you have not opened and read yourself.
What to do
- Copy the exact claim, including any name, number and date.
- Ask for the original source, then open that source yourself. Do not rely on a citation that you have not opened.
- Find the sentence, table or page that supports the claim. Check whether it refers to the same place and time.
- If the source does not support the claim, mark it as unverified and do not repeat it as fact.
Try this prompt
Paste the claim and the relevant source text directly into the prompt below — the AI cannot fetch a live link on its own.
Help me verify the claim below.
Separate what the source directly says from your interpretation.
Use only the supplied source text. Quote the passage that supports your answer. Do not invent a source or claim to have opened a link.
If the source does not prove the claim, say "Not verified".
Claim: [paste the claim]
Original source: [paste the relevant source text, title and date]See a sample result
Illustrative example. Your answer may differ.
Claim: Registration guarantees entry. Source: Registration is subject to confirmation. Result: Not verified. The source says the organizer must still confirm entry.
Before you use it: Open the original source and confirm the quoted passage yourself.
Try this follow-up
Show me the exact sentence in the source that supports or contradicts this. Then tell me what is still uncertain.
If the answer is not right
If the AI cannot open the link or the source is paywalled or unavailable, paste the relevant passage yourself before asking it to check the claim.
