Visual Verification in Modern Journalism

In an era of misinformation and manipulated media, journalists need reliable tools to verify the authenticity and origin of images and videos. A photo claimed to be from one location may actually be from somewhere else entirely. Newsrooms receive hundreds of user-generated images daily, and manually verifying each one is impractical. Fast, accurate geolocation verification is critical for maintaining editorial credibility and combating disinformation.

AI-Powered Verification for Newsrooms

GeoHunter gives journalists and fact-checkers the ability to verify photo locations in minutes instead of hours. Upload any image and deploy 8 AI agents that analyze visual clues and cross-reference them against Google Street View to confirm or deny claimed locations. The investigation produces a detailed evidence report with GPS coordinates, matched features, and confidence scores — perfect for editorial review and publication as supporting evidence.
