Fact-checking for TikTok & YouTube
The bot against fakes & misinformation
Send NOlies a TikTok or YouTube link — the bot transcribes the video, reads the frames, researches the web and replies with a clear verdict. Every call comes with sources.
A fact-checking assistant in a chat — no fluff, short and sourced.
NOlies is a chat app that puts viral short videos to the test. Instead of simply believing a clip, you send the link to the bot — and within seconds you get a transparent assessment of whether its factual claims hold up.
Real research sits at the core: NOlies breaks down what a clip claims, searches the live web for evidence in parallel, and weighs the two against each other. The result is never a bare "true/false" — it's a verdict with reasoning behind it.
And it stays transparent: every answer ships with two to three source links so you can read on yourself. NOlies doesn't want to do your thinking for you — it just spares you the legwork of researching by hand.
From a link to a sourced verdict — step by step.
Paste a TikTok or YouTube link into the chat — or share the video straight from the app it lives in directly to NOlies.
NOlies fetches the video and pulls out the spoken text: if the platform offers captions they're used, otherwise the audio track is transcribed with speech-to-text.
Individual frames are captured from the video and analysed with vision models — so on-screen text, numbers and claims shown on screen are read too, not just what's spoken.
From the transcript and the frames, NOlies distills the clip's core factual statements — the points that can actually be checked.
For each claim NOlies writes several search queries and uses them to search the live web in parallel — through its own fast search infrastructure, not from a model's memory.
The video's statements are matched against what was found. Out comes a clear verdict — and always two to three source links to read on.
Share a TikTok straight from the share sheet to NOlies, or paste the link into the chat. Short, viral clips are exactly the case NOlies was built for.
Whether it's a YouTube Short or a regular video up to 60 minutes long: paste the link, and NOlies transcribes it, reads the frames and checks the claims.
Every clip lands in one of these categories — with sources, unless it clearly isn't a factual clip.
On method — and what NOlies doesn't do
NOlies checks claims, not pixels. The bot researches the statements a video makes and backs its assessment with sources. It does not claim to technically detect "deepfakes" or AI-generated media as such — no reliable automatic detector for that exists. What NOlies can do is verify whether what a clip claims lines up with what the sources report.
Every verdict comes with two to three links to reports and web sources. In the write-up NOlies also shows preview images of the articles it drew on — so you can see what the assessment rests on.
