What it does
TruthLens is a fact-checker for viral claims. Paste a claim in English, Hindi or Hinglish, and it plans searches, reads real articles and returns a verdict with quotes you can check against each source, in about 52 seconds.
How it uses TinyFish
TinySearch finds candidate sources for each query, including one query that looks for evidence against the claim.
TinyFetch reads the full page text, so the verdict rests on the article itself and not a snippet. Plain code then checks every quote against that text before the verdict is computed.
How to use it
Open the live app and choose Analyze a claim.
Enter something like "The Supreme Court of India is located in Mumbai."
Watch each stage stream live: queries, sources, pages read and evidence.
Read the verdict, the claim breakdown and the verified quotes, each linked to its source. Switch the report between English and Hindi.
Run it locally
Set up TruthLens from the TinyFish Cookbook on my machine. 1. Clone https://github.com/dhruvgoel-14/TruthLens.git. 2. Run `cd TruthLens`. 3. Tell me when it is running.

Checking a forwarded claim by hand takes long enough that most people skip it. TruthLens gives a sourced answer in under a minute, and the model is never allowed to invent evidence.
