Tools and trials
Fact-checking is the core. Your workspace also includes the rest of the News Intelligence toolkit.
Every workspace, for a newsroom or any other organisation, can use these tools from the workspace menu. Use them to vet what is circulating, back up a story or prepare a broadcast.

Who uses it

- NGOs and campaigns: check statistics and claims in reports, posts and speeches before publishing.
- Universities, communications teams and platforms.
What is not open to everyone
On chatniai.com, individual journalists register and are approved by PIJAlance before they can use Thoth. Workspaces are different: they use the same tool through their trial allowance, and without limits once they are premium.
How to see your allowance
Open any tool page. A badge at the top shows how many free uses are left. The workspace Overview lists all of them together. Trials renew on the first of each month.
Using the tools from code
The tools run from your workspace, and from code with the same API key as fact-checking. See One key for every tool.
