Verify Validity

Verify Validity uses AI to fact-check claims in your scribe content and detect potential plagiarism. Available for Pro and Creator subscribers.

How It Works

Fact-Checking

The Verify button in your Workspace toolbar sends your content to an AI agent that:

1. Extracts factual claims — dates, statistics, named events, attributions, cause-effect statements
2. Searches the web for evidence supporting or contradicting each claim
3. Assigns a verdict to each claim:
   • Verified — reliable sources confirm the claim
   • Disputed — sources contradict the claim (with a suggested correction)
   • Unverified — no clear evidence found
   • Opinion — subjective statement, not a factual claim
4. Returns a report with source links you can check yourself

Two Verification Modes

• Simple Verify — a single-pass check. Returns search links per claim so you can verify the sources yourself. Good for quick checks. Uses a modest portion of your allowance.
• Deep Verify — a multi-step analysis. Searches the web separately for each claim and evaluates the evidence in detail. Better for thorough fact-checking. Uses several times more than Simple Verify.

Plagiarism Check

A separate option that searches the web for text matching your content. Returns potential matches with source links and similarity levels (high, medium, low).

Using Verify

1. Open your scribe in the Workspace
2. Click on a section to open the editor
3. Click the Verify button (shield icon) in the toolbar
4. Choose Simple Verify, Deep Verify, or Check Plagiarism
5. Optionally add a focus question (e.g., "Is this date correct?")
6. Review the cost estimate and click to confirm
7. Results appear below the editor

Verifying Selected Text

You can highlight specific text in the editor before clicking Verify. Only the selected text will be checked — useful for verifying a single paragraph or claim without checking the entire section.

Results

Results are automatically saved to your Notebooks as verification notes. You can:

• View all verifications in Notebooks using the Verifications filter
• Each verification note includes the full report with claims, verdicts, and source links
• Use the Copy button on suggested fixes for disputed claims

Tips for Best Results

• Be specific — highlight a paragraph rather than verifying an entire long section
• Add a focus question — guide the AI to check what matters most to you
• Use Simple Verify first — it's cheaper and often sufficient. Use Deep Verify when you need thorough analysis
• Check the sources — AI fact-checking is helpful but not infallible. Always click through to the source links
• Verify non-fiction content — fact-checking works best on content with verifiable claims (dates, statistics, events). Creative writing will mostly return "opinion" verdicts

Cost

Verification uses tokens from your balance:

The exact per-action cost is shown before you confirm so you always know what you're spending. You won't be charged if verification fails.
