Zoom App · Real-Time AI Fact Checker
Fact-Check Your Zoom Meetings, Live.
VeriFact is a Zoom App that joins your meeting, transcribes speech as it happens, detects factual claims, and verifies them against your reference documents using retrieval-augmented generation. Every verdict comes with the exact passage it was drawn from — inside the call, in real time.
How VeriFact integrates with Zoom
A native Zoom App and Bot — no Chrome extensions, no separate desktop client, no manual transcript uploads.
- Step 1
Bot joins the call
When the host clicks Activate, the VeriFact Bot joins as a participant within ~10 seconds. Zoom shows its standard recording-in-progress notification so every participant knows audio is being captured.
- Step 2
Claims are detected
Audio streams to Azure Speech for transcription. A fine-tuned BERT model picks out factual claims the moment they're spoken — separating verifiable statements from opinions and small talk.
- Step 3
Evidence is retrieved
Each claim is checked against the documents your organization has uploaded — PDFs, spec sheets, contracts, knowledge base articles — using retrieval-augmented generation.
- Step 4
Verdict appears live
TRUE / FALSE / UNCERTAIN verdicts surface in the Zoom side panel with the exact supporting passage. Hosts and admins can review them in-meeting and after, in a full report.
VeriFact vs. the alternatives

Where teams use VeriFact in Zoom
The common thread: meetings where factual drift carries real cost.
Sales calls
Reps speak from memory; pricing, SLA terms, and feature claims drift. VeriFact checks each claim against the live spec sheet and pricing doc, catching errors before they end up in a contract.
Compliance and audit reviews
When a regulator or internal auditor asks whether a control is in place, VeriFact verifies the answer against the policy library — and the citation is in the post-meeting report.
Executive briefings
Numbers cited in a leadership review get checked against the source dashboard or report. Misquoted figures get flagged before decisions are made on top of them.
Customer support escalations
Support staff verify product behavior against the engineering knowledge base in real time — fewer follow-up calls, fewer escalations from confidently-wrong answers.
Training and onboarding
When a trainer fields a question about a process or policy, the answer is cross-checked against the canonical handbook so new hires don't internalize folklore.
Regulated industry meetings
In healthcare, finance, and legal contexts, VeriFact's grounding in your own document corpus avoids the open-web liability of generic AI fact-checkers.
FAQ
Questions about fact-checking in Zoom
Is VeriFact a Zoom App or a separate tool?
VeriFact is a native Zoom App distributed through the Zoom App Marketplace. The host installs it once, and it shows up in the Apps menu of the Zoom client. When the host activates it inside a meeting, the VeriFact Bot joins the call as a participant, transcribes audio in real time, and surfaces verdicts in Zoom's side panel.
How fast does VeriFact verify a claim during a Zoom meeting?
End-to-end latency is typically a few seconds from when a claim is spoken to when its verdict appears in the side panel. The pipeline is: Zoom audio → Azure Speech transcription → fine-tuned BERT claim detection → retrieval-augmented generation against your reference documents → cited verdict.
Can VeriFact fact-check claims against the open web?
No. VeriFact is grounded in your organization's own reference documents — uploaded by an owner or admin in formats like PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, CSV, or plain text. This is a deliberate design choice: open-web fact-checking is brittle and noisy, while RAG against curated sources gives every verdict a passage you can audit.
Does VeriFact replace Zoom AI Companion?
No, they solve different problems. AI Companion summarizes a meeting after it's over. VeriFact verifies claims while the meeting is still happening, with citations to your trusted documents. They're complementary — many teams use both.
Who can see VeriFact's verdicts during a Zoom call?
By default, the host and admins. Per-participant access to the in-meeting Q&A chat can be granted from the Participants tab in the side panel and applies only to the current meeting.
Does VeriFact record or store meeting audio?
No. Audio is streamed to Microsoft Azure Speech for transcription and is not retained after transcription completes. Transcripts, detected claims, and verdicts are stored privately for your organization and are never used to train models.
What kinds of meetings is VeriFact designed for?
Any Zoom meeting where factual accuracy against a known body of reference material matters: sales calls (verifying claims against your spec sheet or pricing doc), compliance reviews, executive briefings, regulatory inspections, training sessions, and customer support calls.
