Fact-Check This Claim

PerplexityResearch

Verifying a statistic or claim before publishing. Run this on anything you did not source yourself, especially numbers pulled from a chat model — statistics are exactly the kind of detail models hallucinate confidently. Use a search-grounded tool so you get a live primary source and a date, and treat "no source found" as a reason to cut the claim rather than to keep looking.

The prompt

Fact-check this claim: "[CLAIM]". Tell me if it's accurate, partially accurate, or false, and cite the sources you used with publish dates.

What to replace

Swap these placeholders for your own details before running the prompt:

  • [CLAIM]your own value

How to use this prompt

  1. Copy the prompt using the button above.
  2. Replace [CLAIM] with your own details — the more specific you are, the better the output.
  3. Paste it into Perplexity and run it.
  4. If the answer feels generic, add constraints: audience, length, tone, and what to avoid. That single change fixes most weak output.
