Pino - Fact Checker
Your AI-Powered Truth Detective
Pino makes fact-checking effortless. Just highlight text, right-click, and get instant verification with AI-powered analysis, accuracy ratings, and reliable sources.
How Pino Works
Pino doesn’t just check facts—it reacts. When it fact-checks a claim, its nose grows or shrinks based on how truthful it is.
✔ High truth score? The nose stays short.
❌ Low truth score? Watch it stretch.
A fun, visual way to see if something passes the sniff test.

The Story Behind Pino
I created Pino because misinformation is everywhere, and fact-checking should be easy. Inspired by Pinocchio’s nose, Pino helps you detect truth without bias or noise.
This is a one-person project, built with a focus on accuracy, usability, and privacy. The internet is full of half-truths and viral misinformation, but Pino helps you cut through the noise.

Disclaimer
Pino is an AI-powered tool, meaning:
• Results are based on available data at the time of checking
• No fact-checking system is perfect—always review sources yourself
• Use Pino as a guide, not a final authority
