NOlies

Fact-checking for TikTok & YouTube

The bot against fakes & misinformation

What's really behind that viral clip?

Send NOlies a TikTok or YouTube link — the bot transcribes the video, reads the frames, researches the web and replies with a clear verdict. Every call comes with sources.

What is NOlies?

A fact-checking assistant in a chat — no fluff, short and sourced.

NOlies is a chat app that puts viral short videos to the test. Instead of simply believing a clip, you send the link to the bot — and within seconds you get a transparent assessment of whether its factual claims hold up.

Real research sits at the core: NOlies breaks down what a clip claims, searches the live web for evidence in parallel, and weighs the two against each other. The result is never a bare "true/false" — it's a verdict with reasoning behind it.

And it stays transparent: every answer ships with two to three source links so you can read on yourself. NOlies doesn't want to do your thinking for you — it just spares you the legwork of researching by hand.

How it works

From a link to a sourced verdict — step by step.

I

Share a link

Paste a TikTok or YouTube link into the chat — or share the video straight from the app it lives in directly to NOlies.

II

Video & transcript

NOlies fetches the video and pulls out the spoken text: if the platform offers captions they're used, otherwise the audio track is transcribed with speech-to-text.

III

Reading the frames

Individual frames are captured from the video and analysed with vision models — so on-screen text, numbers and claims shown on screen are read too, not just what's spoken.

IV

Extracting the claims

From the transcript and the frames, NOlies distills the clip's core factual statements — the points that can actually be checked.

V

Researching the web

For each claim NOlies writes several search queries and uses them to search the live web in parallel — through its own fast search infrastructure, not from a model's memory.

VI

Cross-check & verdict

The video's statements are matched against what was found. Out comes a clear verdict — and always two to three source links to read on.

Works with

TikTok

Share a TikTok straight from the share sheet to NOlies, or paste the link into the chat. Short, viral clips are exactly the case NOlies was built for.

YouTube

Whether it's a YouTube Short or a regular video up to 60 minutes long: paste the link, and NOlies transcribes it, reads the frames and checks the claims.

The verdict

Every clip lands in one of these categories — with sources, unless it clearly isn't a factual clip.

On method — and what NOlies doesn't do

NOlies checks claims, not pixels. The bot researches the statements a video makes and backs its assessment with sources. It does not claim to technically detect "deepfakes" or AI-generated media as such — no reliable automatic detector for that exists. What NOlies can do is verify whether what a clip claims lines up with what the sources report.

Evidence & trust

Sources included

Every verdict comes with two to three links to reports and web sources. In the write-up NOlies also shows preview images of the articles it drew on — so you can see what the assessment rests on.

Privacy & security

Accounts with email verification, passwords hashed with modern Argon2id, chat content encrypted at rest (AES-256-GCM). Optional sign-in with Google.
