Early AI SaaS for fake news checks asks for feedback
A Reddit user introduced an early AI SaaS project called News Verify. The tool is described as checking news articles through content analysis, source credibility, possible misinformation patterns, fact-checking help, and AI-based reasoning. The builder said they tested a fallback approach, so more than one AI system can be used if one fails or hits limits. They are asking whether it could become a real SaaS, who would use it, and whether people would pay.
