BSmeter
BSmeter is an AI-based credibility analysis tool designed for videos, podcasts, and news content. It uses AI to examine video content, identify factual claims, and evaluate the reliability of sources. The service produces a 'BS score' that indicates the likelihood of manipulation or misleading information. Analysis is delivered in sync with video playback, allowing users to see credibility insights as they watch. BSmeter also aggregates and surfaces viewer comments that are timed to relevant moments, providing additional context and community perspective. The product is offered under a freemium pricing model, with a web-based interface accessible at bsmeter.ai. It supports analysis of content from major video platforms, including YouTube and TikTok, based on the product's stated scope.
