Pino - Fact Checker

Fact check highlighted text using AI

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. ⸻ Key Features • Instant Fact-Checking – Highlight text, right-click, and verify claims instantly • Truth Score – Get a quick accuracy score for easy evaluation • Contextual Analysis – AI-generated insights that explain claims in detail • Source Citations – Click through to original sources for verification • Multi-Language Support – Works in multiple languages for global fact-checking ⸻ Flexible Payment Options Free Trial • 5 free fact-checks to explore Pino • Basic AI-powered verification • 7-day trial period Pay-As-You-Go Credits • 25 credits → $2.99 (for light users) • 50 credits → $6.99 (great for regular research) • 100 credits → $12.99 (best value for deep research) Subscription ($19.99/month) • Unlimited basic fact-checks • 100 advanced searches per month Perplexity Unlock ($10 one-time unlock fee) • Bring your own Perplexity Pro API key • And use your own credits ⸻ How It Works Basic Fact-Checking 1.
