Our Manifesto
No Truth,
No Trust
We believe democracy cannot survive without shared facts. This is our commitment to building the infrastructure truth needs.
The Crisis
Disinformation spreads six times faster than truth. A single lie can travel around the world before fact-checkers have finished their morning coffee. This asymmetry is breaking democracy.
Politicians lie without consequence because verification takes too long. Influencers spread health misinformation to millions before anyone can respond. Citizens don't know what to believe anymore.
The result?
This is not a technology problem. It's a civilization problem. And we believe technology must be part of the solution.
Our Response
OpenTruth is automated verification infrastructure. We use AI to check claims against authoritative sources—government data, scientific publications, official records—in seconds, not hours.
We don't replace human fact-checkers. We . A journalist can now verify a politician's speech in real-time. A citizen can check a viral claim before sharing it.
We invert Brandolini's Law. We make truth as fast as lies.
Our Principles
Truth is a public good
Access to verified information is not a luxury—it's a fundamental right in a functioning democracy. OpenTruth will always offer free access to citizens.
Neutrality by design
We verify facts, not opinions. Our algorithms are blind to political affiliation. The truth doesn't care about your party.
Radical transparency
Our methodology is public. Our limitations are documented. Our code is open-source. You can verify how we verify.
Human in the loop
AI assists, humans decide. We enhance fact-checkers, we don't replace them. Technology serves journalism, not the other way around.
Independence always
No government funding that compromises neutrality. No corporate sponsors that influence results. Swiss-based, globally focused.
For the many
Built for citizens first, not corporations. Priced fairly for journalists. Accessible to institutions that serve the public interest.
