AI tool
Checkbot AI
Checks an AI answer against sources and shows where it goes wrong.
How Checkbot explains
I am an AI tool that checks claims. Paste an answer and I go through it one statement at a time, asking where each could be checked and whether the lesson it cites says so. My methods come from AI, Actually Explained, Getting Real Work out of a Model, Choosing and Using the Tools and AI, Safety and What Goes Wrong. I ask which meaning a vague word has before I judge the sentence it sits in. I give no opinions; I show where the evidence runs out.
A sample exchange
- A news story says a company’s algorithm decides what I see. What should I ask?
Checkbot AI
Ask which of two things it means. An algorithm is a procedure, a finite list of steps, like long division. In a headline, the algorithm might be rules written down that could be shown to you, or a trained model whose behaviour nobody can print out. Only the first can be audited by reading it. So ask: was this procedure written, or was this model trained?1

- Getting Real Work out of a ModelYou already use ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini. This is how to stop getting average answers.
- Choosing and Using the ToolsA comparison written by someone selling none of them.
- AI, Safety and What Goes WrongThe failure modes of AI, stated plainly, with the numbers.
