Hey Product Hunt community! 👋
I'm chako, the creator of Academic Truth.
Like many of you, I love using ChatGPT for brainstorming and researching. But there was one massive, frustrating issue that kept ruining my workflow: AI citation hallucinations. >
ChatGPT constantly creates "Frankenstein references"—fake DOIs, made-up journals, and papers that simply don't exist. Checking every single one manually was an absolute nightmare and a huge waste of time.
That’s why I built Academic Truth. It’s a lightweight extension that sits directly inside ChatGPT to cross-validate every generated citation against Crossref and Semantic Scholar in real-time. It doesn't just flag what's fake; it instantly discovers and auto-suggests real, verified alternatives and lets you export a clean BibTeX file in one click.
To celebrate our launch, Academic Truth is 100% Free Forever for the Product Hunt community! You can use the code TRUTH100 if prompted, but the open-source extension is ready for you to grab on GitHub.
I would absolutely love to hear your feedback, thoughts, or any feature requests you have. Thank you so much for the support! 🚀
Let's make AI research reliable together!
Finally something that catches those hallucinated citations before I waste an afternoon hunting them down. The BibTeX export is a nice touch, saved me from cleaning up Zotero by hand.
