Methodology

News needs context and wider perspectives

TrustDigest AI was built for readers who want more control over their news sources and more context before trusting or sharing an article.

Problem

News can miss important context

News often reaches readers through scattered links, feeds, and search results. The article is easy to find; the context needed to judge it usually takes longer. Summaries can help readers move faster, but speed alone can hide what matters: which claims are being made, what is missing, and how the story is framed.

Solution

TrustDigest AI adds context before you trust it

TrustDigest AI is built around RSS, Atom, and XML feeds chosen by the reader. That keeps the workflow centered on deliberate sources instead of a black-box recommendation stream. The app then summarizes the article, extracts factual claims, checks them with AI-assisted analysis, reviews bias and missing perspectives, and shows sources consulted with a reliability signal.

How it works

From RSS feeds to clearer news context

TrustDigest AI helps you collect articles from RSS sources, summarize them, and review AI-assisted verification before you decide what to trust.

2.1

Build your feed

Search for news sources or paste RSS, Atom, or XML feed URLs. Free accounts can save up to 10 feeds, and TrustDigest AI Pro can use up to 50 feeds.

2.2

Read the latest articles

The app fetches headlines from your selected feeds and shows article details, source names, publish dates, and available images.

2.3

Summarize what matters

When you ask for a summary, TrustDigest AI uses the article URL or extracted article text to create a concise AI summary.

2.4

Verify claims and bias

Verification extracts claims, checks them with AI-assisted analysis, reviews bias and missing perspectives, and returns sources consulted with a reliability signal.

2.5

Save results for later

You can save articles, summaries, and verification results, then organize saved articles into collections.
