The tool reads articles like a critical editor would. It identifies bias by spotting one-sided language or missing perspectives (e.g., "Why weren't opposing experts consulted?"). It detects intent by analyzing how information is framed and emphasized (e.g., "Does this focus on outrage rather than solutions?"). It finds context gaps by noting what's left unsaid - missing data, ignored stakeholders, or incomplete timelines (e.g., "What happened before this incident?" or "How does this compare to similar cases?"). The AI generates questions that help you spot what the article overlooked.
