What is sntnl?
SNTNL is a nonprofit civic-technology initiative built to help people navigate the fast-moving world of modern politics, government information, and online discourse.
Consider this:
Every day, citizens, students, and public institutions face a flood of confusing claims, misleading posts, and AI-generated noise. Trust is harder to build, and clarity is harder to find.
sntnl was created to change that.
We use transparent AI to analyze political and civic claims in real time, check them against verified data, and identify when information is credible—or when it shows signals of misinformation.
Every result includes clear sourcing, transparent reasoning, and confidence levels, so anyone can see how the conclusion was reached.
An AI built for everyone:
Voters
seeking clarity during election cycles
Educators
teaching how to navigate public information
Governments
combating misinformation in their communities
Journalists
who need reliable, explainable verification tools
How sntnl works, fully transparent
1
Ingest Congressional Data
The brain behind SNTNL is a robust knowledge base made up of thousands of Congressional documents, which act as SNTNL's source of truth. They're found from official government APIs like Congress.gov.
2
Create Knowledge Base
Every day, hundreds of documents are read and interpreted by our AI. With each new document we process—a bill, a court hearing, or a newly enacted law—our knowledge base grows stronger and more robust.
3
Read the Internet
SNTNL scans the internet for misinformation, browsing common sources like social media platforms. Just like a detective, SNTNL will peruse posts online carefully to analyze accuracy and credibility.
4
Fact-Check Internet Data
Every post SNTNL comes across will be processed through our knowledge base. Within seconds, SNTNL will conduct an in-depth analysis of how accurate a post is and exactly where it aligns/deviates with the facts.
5
Alert Human Reviewers
No AI is perfect—even the best ones need human review. SNTNL knows this, and intelligently routes posts flagged as potential information to relevant community ambassadors for further review and confirmation.
6
Guard Against Misinformation
Online posts confirmed as misinformation will be published on SNTNL's website and shared to partner organizations. Incorrect information will quickly be adjusted, and our democracy is strengthened.
