I've been bothered by misinformation for a long time.
Not in an abstract, hand-wavy way — but in the specific, stomach-dropping way you feel when you watch a false claim spread faster than any correction can travel. When you see people you respect talk past each other because they're operating from completely different sets of "facts." When polarization doesn't feel like a political problem anymore, but a epistemic one.
So I built something. It's called Anchorpoint.
What is it?
Anchorpoint is a structured fact-exploration tool. You give it a claim — a real, contentious, falsifiable statement about the world — and it maps out the evidence landscape: what supports the claim, what challenges it, where the nuance lives. The goal isn't to tell you what to think. It's to make it harder to think lazily.
How I built it
I designed and built this in a matter of days using Claude and Cursor. I'm still a little stunned by how fast that was possible. For populating claims with research, I started with ChatGPT — but I've since migrated that workflow to Claude. The AI-generated summaries you see on the platform are produced by Gemini. I've also built a CSV-based system for loading claims quickly, along with a Claude skill file that automates much of the research process. I plan to share the template and the skill file publicly soon — watch this space.
What this isn't
This is not a finished product. It's an experiment. The design is imperfect, the data pipeline is scrappy, and there are a hundred things I'd build differently if I were starting over. I'm sharing it now because I believe in building in public — and because I'd rather have the feedback early than refine in isolation.
Get involved
I'm accepting a small number of contributors — people who are genuinely motivated by this problem and want to help shape where it goes. I'm not looking for a crowd; I'm looking for a handful of thoughtful people who want to wrestle with hard questions.
If you have ideas for how to make Anchorpoint better, I want to hear them. Leave a comment, send me a message, or just reach out directly via DM on LinkedIn
This is just the beginning.
