Overview

Exposes hype, manipulation, and hidden incentives on any webpage. Powered by your own Anthropic API key.

Most AI tools make you faster. RealityCheck makes you harder to fool. The modern web is persuasion. Every landing page, article, and product review is trying to make you believe something. RealityCheck is your scepticism layer — it reads any page and tells you exactly what it's trying to make you believe, what claims have no evidence, what's being exaggerated, and who benefits if you trust it. ── HOW IT WORKS ── Navigate to any page, click the extension, and choose your analysis mode. RealityCheck reads the page and streams a forensic breakdown in seconds. It quotes the exact words from the page, names the specific tactic being used, and tells you what's missing or unverifiable. ── SIX ANALYSIS MODES ── 🔥 Hype Detector Finds exaggerated claims, vague superlatives, and numbers with no source. "World's best", "10x faster", "500,000 users" — quoted exactly with the evidence that's missing. ⚠️ Unsupported Claims Finds specific facts presented without evidence. Uncited studies, unverified testimonials, awards with no link to the awarding body. 🕐 Sales Pressure Scanner Identifies urgency tactics and psychological manipulation. False scarcity, manufactured deadlines, price anchoring, buried caveats. 👁 What's Hidden Finds what the page deliberately doesn't say. Missing counterarguments, undisclosed limitations, questions the page conspicuously avoids. 👤 Who Benefits Maps the incentive structure. Who made this, what they want you to do, what they gain, and what to verify independently. ❓ What Would a Sceptic Ask Generates the four or five questions a sharp journalist or analyst would ask about this specific page before trusting it. ── WORKS BEST ON ── - SaaS and product landing pages - Finance and investing content - Health and wellness claims - Productivity gurus and influencer content - News opinion pieces and blog posts - AI hype pages - Anything trying to sell you something ── BYOK — YOUR KEY, YOUR DATA ── RealityCheck uses your own Anthropic API key. Your key is stored locally on your device and never sent to our servers. RealityCheck calls the Anthropic API directly from your browser. ── FREE & PAID PLANS ── Free: Hype Detector mode, 5 analyses per day Essential (£7/month): All six modes, unlimited analyses Pro (£12/month): All six modes, unlimited analyses, weekly manipulation report Built by HelixLabs — browser-native AI tools for clearer thinking online. helixlabs.studio
