Audit-grade fact-checking API that runs claims through an eight-model, five-stage adversarial pipeline and returns a cited verdict.
Lenz is a fact-checking API built for AI products that cannot afford to hallucinate. Instead of asking one model whether a statement is true, it runs each claim through a five-stage pipeline across eight models from multiple vendors: evidence is gathered from real sources, an opposing side argues the counter-position, and three independent reviewers score the result, producing a verdict with a confidence rating and a full citation trail rather than a bare yes or no. Four API primitives form a depth ladder — /extract pulls verifiable claims out of arbitrary text, /assess returns a fast multi-model verdict cheap enough for synchronous UX, /verify runs the full adversarial pipeline with citations, and /ask handles grounded follow-up questions about a completed verification. The API ships as OpenAPI 3.1 with Python and TypeScript SDKs and a CLI, and drops into Claude, Cursor, n8n and Zapier for incident triage, async runtime verification of model output, and pre-release CI gates. A public workbench and research library let anyone paste a single statement, link or question and see the sourced reasoning, and Lenz publishes open evaluations of how frontier models disagree on real user-submitted fact-checks.

Lenz works by combining Five-Stage Adversarial Pipeline: Eight models across five stages gather evidence, argue the opposing side, and pass through three independent reviewers before a verdict is issued., Multi-Vendor Independence: Verdicts come from LLMs across several vendors rather than one provider, so a single model's blind spot cannot decide the outcome., Full Citation Trail: Every verdict ships with the real sources it rests on and the reasoning shown, so a human can audit why the answer came out the way it did., Depth Ladder of Primitives: /extract, /assess, /verify and /ask let you trade latency against rigor — a fast multi-model check for live UX, the full pipeline for anything that will be published., Claim Extraction from Free Text: /extract pulls the individually verifiable claims out of any document or model output so each can be checked separately. to help users with Runtime Output Verification: Check what your LLM feature just produced against real sources before it reaches a user, asynchronously or inline., Pre-Release CI Gates: Run generated content, docs or marketing copy through /verify in CI so unsupported claims fail the build., Incident Triage: Verify claims circulating during a live incident and get a verdict with sources instead of a confident guess., Editorial and Newsroom Checking: Extract the checkable claims from a draft and get each one scored with citations before publication., Compliance and Risk Review: Produce an auditable trail showing what was verified, against which sources, for regulated or high-liability content..
