FAQ
How does it work?
Share or upload a video and vlivlu uses AI to pick out each health claim. It checks every claim against multiple credible sources, prioritizing peer-reviewed research, then gives you a verdict with the sources behind it.
What does it check?
Health, medicine and wellness claims in social media videos, including your own.
Which apps does it work with?
Share straight from TikTok, Instagram, YouTube or Facebook. You can also paste a video link, or upload a video from your phone.
What do the verdicts mean?
Every claim gets one of five verdicts: Supported, Mostly supported, Misleading, Unfounded or False. Misleading means it starts from something true but stretches it too far. Unfounded means there isn’t enough evidence to back it up.
Where does the evidence come from?
Credible, reputable sources such as peer-reviewed studies, systematic reviews and clinical guidelines. vlivlu compares several sources for every claim and shows you which ones it used.
Is it free?
You can start with free checks. Each video uses one check, no matter how long it is or how many claims it makes.
Is it medical advice?
No. vlivlu is a guide to the evidence, not a doctor. Always talk to a healthcare professional before making medical decisions.
