“How do I check this before I act on it?”
What is the Before You Trust an AI Answer?
The five step verification habit as a tool you can run on an actual answer, in about two minutes. Builds verification habits by guiding users through stopping, checking, comparing, verifying, and deciding.
- For
- Everyone, Families, Students
- Cost
- Free, with no account
- Status
- A defined concept or planned pilot that has not launched. The design is written down and nothing has been delivered. Two kinds sit here and the entry itself tells you which: a proposed pilot names its targets, and any target it names is a plan rather than a result; a proposed concept names none because none have been set.
What it does
How it will work.
This describes a tool that does not exist yet. It is proposed, and this is the design rather than a description of something you can open.
- 01
Asks what kind of question this is, since AI is weakest on anything recent, numeric, or niche
- 02
Prompts for the source, and for opening it rather than accepting it
- 03
Requires one independent cross check that is not another AI tool
- 04
Asks what would make the answer wrong
- 05
Sets the effort against the stakes, and says plainly when to stop and verify everything
What you walk away with
Yours, not HxDF's.
Whatever you make with a tool belongs to you. Sending anything to HxDF is always a separate choice.
A verdict for the answer in front of you and the reason for it
The habit itself, which is the actual product
Your data
Runs without an account. Nothing you paste is stored or sent to HxDF.
Be clear
What this is not.
Not a fact checker and not a detector. It does not tell you whether a claim is true. It structures how you find out.
Where this connects
If you want to go further.
A tool covers part of the ground. An audit covers the rest, with a person, and costs nothing.
