Bananas grow on trees.
Banana plants are giant herbs, not trees.
Sources
The Cavendish banana plant is a giant herb. Its apparent trunk is a pseudostem made from overlapping leaf bases, rather than a woody tree trunk.
Live podcast fact-checking with sources. Check the facts. Keep the conversation.
Follow a checkable claim to its evidence while the discussion is still fresh. Each check shows a verdict, its reasoning and any sources, and you decide what belongs on air.

CONVOLENS fact-checks a podcast while it is being recorded. As a claim is spoken, the Fact Check lens shows a verdict, the reasoning and the sources it used, so the host can raise it on mic or leave it for the show notes. It listens beside Riverside, Zencastr or Zoom without joining the call, and every check stays with the session afterwards.
CONVOLENS is available on Mac, Windows, and Linux.
In the flow
Keep the evidence close to the claim.
Prepare for the topics you expect. During recording, checks arrive as claims are made, and the final editorial call stays yours.
Prepare the claim trail
Use Chat to research the topics and claims you plan to discuss. Import your own research before recording so it is available as session context.
See a claim checked
CONVOLENS picks checkable claims out of the transcript and gives each one a verdict, an explanation and any sources it found. When a claim is wrong, the card says what’s true.
Make the editorial call
Clarify the claim on mic, ask a follow-up, or come back to it after recording. The call is yours.

What can CONVOLENS check?
It can check publicly verifiable claims and, when a connected integration with read access can verify the named work record, claims about that record. Opinions, personal preferences, and unsupported anecdotes may not have evidence to check.
Will every claim have a source and a verdict?
No. Some claims are not checkable, and a result may be unverified, disputed, or come back without a useful source. Each card says which.
Can I request a check myself?
Yes. Besides the checks that come in on their own, you can ask Chat or Voice to check a statistic, a quoted line or the last two minutes.
Does CONVOLENS work with Riverside, Zencastr or Zoom?
Yes. CONVOLENS listens to your microphone and the audio playing on your computer, so it runs beside Riverside, Zencastr or Zoom or any other app without joining the call or changing its settings. For remote calls choose System + Microphone as the audio source.
What sources does Fact Check use?
Public claims are checked against the web, and claims about your own work against the tools you connect. The card links the sources or records it used, and a card with no sources says so.
Which platforms does CONVOLENS run on?
CONVOLENS is available on Mac, Windows, and Linux. It needs the microphone permission and, for calls, the system-audio permission. The download page is where a computer installs it. On a phone, tablet, or Chromebook, nothing downloads.
Can I try it before paying?
Yes. Start free with limited monthly usage. The app shows your current allowance, and you choose a plan in the app.
