Everyone deserves
to know what's real.

Manipulation does its quiet work everywhere — the confident lie that moves a market, wins an argument, rewrites a war. So we set out to build the simplest thing that pushes back: a way to check what you're reading, right where you read it, in a single swipe.

Today it reads. In time it will hear and see too — one honest answer at a time.

The problem · why now

The lie travels faster than the truth.

False stories aren't a glitch in the feed — they're a permanent feature of how we read now. Social, news, messaging: none of them come with a way to ask the simple question, "wait, is this actually true?" And the cost of not asking shows up at two moments:

When reading

You don't want to be deceived. False information means financial, reputational and legal decisions made on false premises.

When sharing

You don't want to deceive others. Forwarding a fabrication destroys trust with clients, audiences and colleagues.

Where people actually read

of US adults regularly get news on Facebook — the #1 platform
90%
of UK online adults use WhatsApp · 74% daily
20%
get news on TikTok — up from 3% in 2020

Why now

The cost of producing a convincing fake collapsed to seconds. At the same time, the cost of verification fell with it — inference keeps getting cheaper, which is what puts real-time claim-checking within reach of a phone. In 2025, social media passed television as the leading news source in the US. A single fabricated tweet from a compromised AP account in 2013 erased about $136 billion in market value in minutes — with a reach of thousands. Today the same fake reaches millions in seconds.

VeRa · Android beta

Check the claim.
Explore the evidence

You're scrolling. Something stops you: a headline, a number, a claim you're not sure about. Swipe the lens over it. VeRa reads what it says, checks it against real sources, and tells you what holds up. Seconds, not an afternoon of open tabs.

1

Pull the lens

Drag VeRa's lens over any post — feed, chat, news site, anywhere.

2

The lens reads it

On-device OCR extracts the claim. The screenshot never leaves your phone — the recognised text does: it goes to our service, and from there to search providers and a cloud AI model. What we send, in full.

Live source retrieval, a sourced verdict, and the analysis behind it.

The verdict

Four assessment labels.
Evidence, with limits.

VeRa explains its assessment and links to retrieved sources when available. An unverified result may have no corroborating sources. The four below are illustrative examples, not saved results — in the app each source is a live link you can open. An assessment can be wrong; that is what the sources are for.

✓ ApprovedVeRa

"The Stockholm3 blood test outperforms standard PSA testing for prostate cancer."

Key analysis

Genetic markers, proteins and clinical data predict aggressive-cancer risk in men aged 45–74.

SourcesThe Doctors LaboratoryEIT Health
✗ FakeVeRa

"NASA has announced six days of total darkness from a solar storm."

Key analysis

NASA issued no statement of the kind. The claim recycles a long-debunked hoax and has no basis in solar physics.

SourcesNASAReuters Fact Check
! MisleadingVeRa

"The central bank has admitted the currency will collapse."

Key analysis

The official transcript contains no such admission. A conditional scenario from an analyst interview is presented as the regulator's own position.

SourcesCentral bank — official transcriptReuters
? UnverifiedVeRa

"A major outbreak was reported at a facility in the region last week."

Key analysis

Missing date, specific location and incident scope. No source link to a specific event.

The verdict contract

One data structure for any content type — the same interface will serve text, voice and video. With zero credible sources, the verdict downgrades to UNVERIFIED by design. Temporal grounding and news-existence calibration are built in. English-language content today — multilingual verdicts are a planned update. Ahead for financial claims: deterministic verification of numeric financial claims against primary-source SEC filings.

The same swipe that reads a headline today will one day hear a voice on a call, and watch a face in a video. We're honest about it: this is the road we're on, not a shelf of dated promises. One engine, one verdict — new senses as they're ready.

Against the alternatives

Every claim stands
on its own.

Source raters score the outlet. Aggregators compare the coverage. Professional fact-checks arrive days later. VeRa answers the claim in front of you, now.

NewsGuard
Rates the source, not the specific claim. Desktop-first, outside the reading flow.
Ground News
Compares coverage and bias — a perspective tool, not a true / false verdict.
Platform checks
Don't operate over third-party apps, and the platform is an interested party.
Fact-check sites
Manual, editorial, published after the fact — hours to days. Can't verify novel claims in real time.
VeRa
Per-claim verdict over any app, one gesture, cited sources, seconds — mobile-native, privacy by design.

And it can compound. There is no dataset today: using verdicts to improve the engine would need separate opt-in consent, and we have not asked for it. The architecture leaves room for one — reach is what would fill it.

The team

Built by one person,
and a lot of machines.

One founder, orchestrating a small army of AI agents. No hires, no contractors — and the same stretch also produced the brand system, this website, an incorporated UK company and the policies and terms it runs on.

Maksym Pietukhov — a background across media, advertising and PR, and a self-taught designer: the VeRa brand system is his own work.

Philosophy · Lodestar

A fixed point to steer by.

Our design language is built on one idea: the lodestar — the single fixed point you can steer by when everything else drifts.

Every product we make does the same job: it separates one steady signal from the noise around it. Even the dot that closes VeRa is that light — the point of truth the whole mark leans on. Below, the philosophy drawn as an instrument: countless false readings; one verified bearing that holds.

Founder's note

I'm Ukrainian, based in the UK. I grew up watching disinformation used as a weapon, so fighting it isn't a market I found, it's personal.

I want people to make informed decisions instead of being led by manipulation. VeRa is that conviction turned into a product.
