Why Lucid
The internet is noisy.
A link forwarded by a friend. A screenshot from someone you trust. A headline that sounds just plausible enough. We are asked to judge more information than ever, with less context than ever. Lucid gives you a calm, neutral read on the evidence before you decide what to believe — or what to pass on.
How it works
Three steps, and you can see all the workings.
Send it to Lucid
Paste a link, share a screenshot, drop in a video, or type the question in your own words. On your phone you can share straight from any app without opening Lucid at all.
Lucid weighs the evidence
It pulls out the specific claims being made, searches for what supports or contradicts them, and judges the sources on credibility and consistency rather than volume.
You get a verdict and the reasoning
One clear word, a plain-English explanation, and the sources it rests on — listed by name so you can go and read them yourself.
The verdict
No score. A word.
Lucid never shows you a number. Not a percentage, not a rating out of ten. A number implies a precision that evidence almost never has, and it invites you to stop reading at the figure.
Instead every claim check lands on one of eight words, each with its own colour and a short explanation of why. Decisive where the evidence is decisive. Honest where it isn't.
- VerifiedMulti-source and primary confirmation
- CredibleWell established
- SupportedHolds up, with caveats
- PlausibleNo verifiable evidence either way
- MisleadingTrue core, overstated packaging
- DisputedCredibly contested both ways
- WeakRefuted on the weight of evidence
- FalseSettled refutation — hoax, debunked, fabricated
No Access
Off the scale. The page sat behind a login or paywall, so Lucid could not read it — and says so instead of guessing. Checks that come back No Access aren't charged.
What you get
Built for clarity
Every part of a result is designed to inform rather than alarm.
It finds the claims, then judges them
An article is rarely one claim. Lucid pulls out the specific assertions buried in the content and weighs each against what it can find, so you can see which part holds up and which part is doing the exaggerating.
Result
The sources, by name
Every verdict lists what it was built from, linked and named. You are never asked to take the answer on trust.
Ask a follow-up
Something unclear? Ask. If the answer needs current information, Lucid runs a fresh check rather than guessing from memory.
Generate a reply
A paste-ready comment for the thread you found it in, in a kind, neutral, or blunt tone. You choose how direct to be.
Share the result
Export the verdict as an image, so the answer travels as easily as the claim did.
Everything you have checked
Past checks are saved and reopenable, so you can find that thing you looked up last month.
Push back on a verdict
Think Lucid got it wrong? Report it from the result. Being challengeable is part of being trustworthy.
Detect
Two questions worth asking on their own
Point Lucid at an image and ask it directly. Same gauge, different ladder.
Is this AI?
Lucid checks images for signs of AI — lighting, texture, artefacts, metadata — and handles text screenshots as an AI-writing check too.
- AuthenticNo signs of AI found
- InconclusiveThe signals do not settle it
- AlteredSigns of editing or manipulation
- AIStrong signs of AI generation
Is this a scam?
Screenshots of texts, emails, DMs, and ads. Lucid checks the sender's own identifiers against live evidence and weighs the warning signs.
- TrustedChecks out against live evidence
- CautionSome signals worth a second look
- SuspiciousSeveral warning signs together
- ScamMatches known scam patterns
Is this AI?
Some things genuinely cannot be detected by anything — an edit made on your own phone, or a well-made face swap, may come back Inconclusive. Lucid would rather tell you that than overclaim.
