The AI Output Fact-Checker: Catch Hallucinated Claims Before You Hit Send
Claude Opus 4.8 or GPT-5.6 with web search/browsing enabled (verification quality depends heavily on the model being able to check claims against live sources — without search access, treat the output as a risk triage, not a ground-truth check)Artificial IntelligenceYou used an AI assistant to draft a client-facing quarterly report that includes market statistics, a competitor comparison, and two quotes attributed to industry analysts, and you have 15 minutes before the file needs to go out to review it for anything that could be wrong or made up.

The Contrarian Briefing: Steelman the Strongest Case Against Your Own Position

A prompt that builds the single strongest opposing argument to whatever you believe — not a weak strawman — plus the exact evidence that would prove you wrong, so you're never blindsided by the question you didn't prepare for.
