NewsScan

About

NewsScan is an advanced browser extension that uses cutting-edge artificial intelligence to help you make informed decisions about the news you consume. In today's digital age, distinguishing credible news from misinformation has become increasingly challenging. NewsScan provides the tools you need to navigate the information landscape with confidence.

How it Works:

NewsScan analyzes articles in real-time after you click the NewsScan extension icon. Within seconds, you'll receive a comprehensive credibility analysis displayed in an easy-to-read side panel.

The analysis includes:

• Credibility Score: A 1-100 score indicating the overall credibility of the article, helping you quickly assess reliability

• Detailed Reasoning: In-depth analysis from each AI provider outlining the article's strengths, concerns, and why it received its score. Each analysis includes multiple sentences with specific evidence and context.

• Evidence-Based Analysis: Specific quotes from the article (6-12 key quotes) that affect credibility, each with clear explanations of why they matter. See exactly what raises concerns or supports credibility.

• Supporting Links: Related articles and fact-checking sources found through automated web search, helping you cross-reference claims and find additional perspectives.

• Multi-Provider Analysis: Compare results from different AI providers (OpenAI GPT-4o-mini and Google Gemini 2.5 Flash) to get diverse perspectives on the same article. This helps you make more informed judgments by seeing how different AI models evaluate credibility.
