What it does

Three ways Theia keeps your AI honest.

A gauge sits beside every chat and scores, in real time, how much the model is flattering you versus<br>telling you the truth, powered with a custom trained model.

Fact-checks with sources

Highlight a claim or evaluate a whole reply. Theia returns a verdict and confidence.

Free on-device mode

Run Gemini Nano locally on your own device and verify claims with live web search plus free<br>public sources like Wikipedia, Wikidata, PubMed, OpenAlex, Crossref, SEC EDGAR and more.
