description

Crickit's patent-pending app brings in-stream fact-checking to your YouTube feed, so truth, context, and sources appear while you watch, like subtitles. Crickit fact-checks videos in 50+ languages, so facts can finally outrun misinformation while you watch. Crickit gives you the bite-sized open-source intelligence you need to make smarter, healthier decisions.

Crickit is built by a Stanford StartX Entrepreneur-led company.

FEATURES

• Automatically fact-checks up to 3 high-importance claims per 2 minutes of video.

• Check anything instantly: Select any claim directly from the transcript and fact-check it with keyboard shortcuts.

• Jump through the key claims: Use keyboard shortcuts to move through the most important claims in a video, turning long videos into a faster, smarter summary.

• See source reliability at a glance: Independent media-reliability ratings appear when you hover over source icons.

• Share instantly: Share fact-checks from videos through social channels or privately, including with people who do not use Crickit.

TRUST AND SAFETY

• Data Privacy: Crickit does not store your viewing history linked to your account. Your data, your control.

• Accuracy: Crickit’s search-grounded AI engine has achieved 98.7% accuracy on a product-track version of the AVeriTeC Supported/Refuted fact-checking benchmark.

• Third-Party Reliability Ratings: Crickit uses independent media-reliability ratings to filter out low-quality sources from ground-truth links.

• Transparency: Each fact-check includes a concise explanation, added context, and three “Learn more” links to relevant print sources — so you can verify the evidence for yourself.
