Project Details

What problem does this solve?
People constantly see misinformation or claims on the web (text, screenshots, images, sites) and have no quick way to verify them.

What makes this contribution valuable to other developers?
UnCovered demonstrates how to turn Perplexity’s Sonar API into a real-time, in-browser fact-checking engine — capable of verifying text, images, websites, and even screenshots or video frames. It offers a full-stack reference for building a citation-backed, multimodal, and zero-friction Chrome extension that integrates Sonar Pro and Deep Research models with smart UX and custom prompts.
