FactGuard – Fact-checker for agent output
Verify that a meeting note or promise actually exists in the source before your agent writes it down
- Problem
- A user found an AI that recorded 'reading club on Friday, time TBD' as 'Friday 19:00'. The format was fine and the save succeeded, but the time was invented. Another builder of a work second-brain stresses that the agent must remember who promised what; a wrong fact becomes a wrong follow-up. Today this is only caught by manual spot checks.
- Solution
- A lightweight verification service: given the source text and structured facts an agent extracted, judge each fact as supported, unsupported, or contradicted — no rewriting, no decisions. It plugs into meeting-note, CRM-commitment, or second-brain write paths as a configurable hard gate.
- Users
- Knowledge workers and teams using AI to log meeting notes, customer commitments, or a personal second brain
- MVP
- CLI and HTTP API entry points; take source plus fact list, output per-fact verdict and confidence; a write hook for one or two note/CRM tools; a human review queue
- Revenue
- Usage-based API billing plus a plugin subscription; enterprise seats sold as a write gate
- Why now
- Agents already write more data than humans can audit, and cheap small-model fact checking has been shown workable in the community — a narrow slice indie devs can own
