Civil Discourse LabsA Civil Discourse Labs product

A second opinion for your feed.

Lens reads the posts, articles, and videos you share and shows you what's verified, what's missing, and where the story diverges from the evidence.

Two readings of the same story: what it claims, and what its evidence shows. The lens is where they overlap.

Three steps, about a minute.

How it works

Share any content

Share a link to any public post, article, or video, or an image, clip, or audio you have the right to share. Lens keeps what you send only as long as the analysis takes.

Evidence-based analysis

Lens verifies claims against real sources, identifies missing context, and flags rhetorical tactics. Every finding is backed by a citation.

Decide for yourself

Get a clear summary and the follow-up questions worth asking. Lens gives you the tools. You decide what to believe.

What we're building

The gap between claim and evidence.

Misinformation isn't always outright lies. More often it's true facts framed to lead you somewhere they don't support. Lens is designed to surface that gap.

Every verdict shows its work

Lens lays out the claims, the evidence for and against, and the distance between them, so you can see why a verdict is what it is, and weigh it for yourself.

Built for the way people share

Screenshots, TikToks, tweets, articles, threads: Lens handles the messy reality of how information actually moves. Share once, get an analysis you can share back.

Independent and small

We're a small team building tools we wanted ourselves, and the reader is our only customer. Our work answers to the evidence, not to advertisers or an agenda.

Teaches you to spot patterns

Every analysis includes a "how to spot this next time" takeaway. The goal is to help you get better at reading between the lines, until you barely need us.
